Our topic for Summer 1 is 'Hot or Cold?'. We will be learning all about where the North Pole, South Pole and equator are on a globe and comparing the key features of hot and cold places. We will have a video call from a South Pole explorer and will go on a trip to Eureka! There is so much to look forward to! For more information on what your child will be learning this half term, please see the topic web below.

Year 1 had so many entries to the Easter bonnet and egg competition, it was so hard to pick some winners. A big well done to Mason and Norah who were the winners for Year 1 with their amazing home made designs. Well done to everyone that took part.
There are free, family activities at Tameside Libraries during the upcoming Easter holiday, all with the theme of In the Garden. These are open to all, although aimed at children aged 4-11, and are drop in. There are also workshops available run by Explore Learning for 7-9 year olds at Ashton and Droylsden libraries which need to be booked in advance.
Please see the attached posters for more details.

Year 1 went on a trip to Gorse Hall to see where Beatrix Potter's grandparents, John and Jane Leech, built the Gorse Hall mansion in 1836 of which the ruins can still be seen today. We were amazed to see photos of what the mansion used to look like and how they used to travel by horse and carriage.

Year 1 loved taking part in the Science Fair today. A big thank you to Year 6 for running it. They were brilliant at getting the pupils to make predictions and perform the tests to see if they were right.

This half term Year 1 have researched different types of fruit and designed their own fruit kebab using a repeated pattern. They then used their cutting skills to create their own fruit kebabs. Which one do you think looks the tastiest?

Year 6 have had a fabulous day hosting the Science Fair this year. We have worked with KS1 and KS2 to investigate, research and consolidate our scientific learning across the school. We have explored magnets, electricity, scents, fingerprints, chemical reactions, famous inventors, space and beyond, rocks and fossils, light and shadow and human organs.
Thank you Year 6 you were fantastic leaders today and I am very proud of you all.

Year 1 had a fabulous time in Forest School moving the wood chip around the young trees. This helps to keep the roots warm which makes the trees grow more easily. It also stops the grass from growing around the trees.
