Year 1 and 2 have been taking part in the TCS Mini Marathon where they have until the 10th May to try to run 2.6 miles. They have found the first sessions difficult but showed great perseverance and kept moving. They are looking forward to the sessions next week already.

Thank you to our Reading Ambassadors for attending their meeting with Jo Merrifield from Tameside Libraries this week. They shared their fabulous poetry display which they have created in the KS2 Library. We then looked at genres of text and how we can inspire children to trial reading a new genre. All children can access Ebooks and Audio books for free using their Tameside Library membership card using Borrow Box. Please see eReading - Tameside MBC for more information.

This week we went on a super Nature Scavenger Hunt. We had to find different natural objects that were either smooth, tiny or large. We found lots of shiny blue Alder Beetles and so we improved the bug hotel and then we found some tiny snails and ground beetles.

We have been planting our new trees that we got from the Woodland Trust. They are very small at the moment but we will look after them and we are looking forward to watching them grow over the next few years.

We have been making some fantastic, creative pictures using the Japanese art of Hapazome (leaf bashing). We found some shiny blue Alder beetles eating the Alder leaves then we did some fishing in the mud pond.

The girls have loved the first 2 weeks of the Disney Shooting Stars club. They were challenged last week to use junk modelling to make an animal from Lion King or to make some lion ears to wear for this week's session. Can you guess any of the animals they made? Fantastic work everyone!
