As part of their Victorian Topic, "What was life like for Victorian children" Year 5 enjoyed travelling back in time to George Street Chapel in Oldham today!  They met families from the past who explained that life was tough for most Victorians.  Children had to work both inside and outside their homes without, of course, some of the inventions that were discovered during the Victorian era.  They enjoyed "washing day" and their time at school, followed by some creative activities in the afternoon such as making peg dolls, stained glass windows and handwriting with pen and ink!  Everyone con

Our Year 5 and 6 boys football team had a tough match with a loss against Our Lady's in the Alan Millea cup. They showed great perseverance and did the school proud showing great sportsmanship throughout. Well done boys!

Step Inside Your Story- online event

Year 3 listened to authors and illustrators Robert Tregoning, Patrice Lawrence and Viviane Schwarz in a playful livestreamed session that inspired children to step inside their own stories and make zig-zag books.

Year 3 took part in the online event they:

• Heard Robert and Patrice reading their books aloud. 

• Watched as these fabulous authors create their own handmade concertina books and fill them with brand new stories about themselves 

The children played a few friendly hockey matches in P.E today.
