October Reading Challenge

Our Reading Ambassadors have set an October Reading Challenge. 

Children will be given a book scavenger hunt to complete over the October half term. They need to hunt for different items in a book and write down the title of the book they found their item in on their answer sheet. These need to be completed and handed into class teachers by Wednesday 2nd November.

Happy hunting...


Reading Ambassadors Training Meeting

Yesterday our Reading Ambassadors had their first online training session with Tameside Libraries. We used padlet to add our ideas in the session about how we can promote reading more in our school.

I am very proud of their dedication in this role! Well done!


Our Year 4 SCARF Workshop

Rachel came into Year 4 today to run a SCARF workshop. The children remembered a lot from last year, including Harold the giraffe. Today, Karen's workshop celebrated how it is 'Great to be me.' They discussed how everyone is different and unique but that inside we are all the same. We discussed how to be mindful and improve our mental health by connecting with others, being mindful, being active, getting creative and giving to others. 


Reading Competition.

Today we had a wonderful surprise visit from Ms Lund the Assistant Headteacher at Rayner Stephens. She presented Sam with 8 books for winning a competition set on their Open Evening. Sam loves reading and this is the perfect prize for him. Out of 10, Sam said this was 11! Thank you to Rayner Stephens.

Fantastic efforts throughout the week for all Year 4.

First steps into column addition

Year 4 have been showing me what they remember of column addition from Year 3. I have been impressed by their fortitude and their application. I look forward to helping them remember the format, fixing their misconceptions and extending their knowledge. A great start Year 4. 


Paper bin design competition

The Eco leaders would like to launch a competition to design a new sign for our blue paper bins in school. They would like the sign to explain why it is important to recycle paper - e.g. Save the world, recycle your paper. The sign should be eye catching and colourful on A4 paper. Please send your entries into school by Friday 4th November and the Eco leaders will be choosing the winners from each class.
