Every week during PE Mr Hilton will be choosing two pupils from each year group to be his PE superstars of the week. Mr Hilton has chosen the following children who were fantastic in PE last week: Well done to them!

 

 

 

Please can we remind all parents/carers to make sure your child has their full PE kit in school at  ALL times.  P.E. Kits should be taken home at the end of each half term for washing and returned to school on the first day back.  Can we also remind parents that the PE kit is part of our school uniform, and as such children should be wearing the correct clothes.  Please see below for when PE takes place each week.

 

 

Letters went home at the end of last term with our Year 3 children.

Every Friday, Year 3 will be sending home a 5 minute comprehension task. Please allow your child 5 minutes to complete these tasks. The children do not need to write an answer, simply highlight, circle or underline to show their answer.

On Monday mornings, staff will be going through these cards and any child who returns their completed card will receive 5 dojos.

 

Year 4 had their ‘Roman Day’ this week.  A guide dressed as a Roman came to teach the children about life in Roman times.

The children were shown replica Roman artefacts and took part in curriculum relevant role play.  Some of the children came to school dressed for the occasion!

 

 

 

As part of School Safety week, on Tuesday 14th January, Years 5 & 6 will be undertaking CPR (cardio pulmonary resuscitation) training. CPR helps keep blood and oxygen flowing and dramatically increases the chances of survival in those who suffer a cardiac arrest. The session will be appropriately targeted at Year 5 and 6 children and children will have the chance to practise on a mannequin, if you have any concerns, please contact your child’s class teacher.

 

 

Roman Day:  For Year 4 we will be holding a Roman Day to link in with their topic on Romans, run by a company called Roman Tours. Children can come to school in Roman Costume on this day. If children are not coming to school dressed as a Roman they must attend school in their school uniform. We are asking parents/guardians to contribute £2 per child to help towards the cost of this visit.

After School Clubs letters have been sent out. After School Clubs start week commencing 13.01.20 and are as follows:

 

Tuesdays: Multi sports (Year 5 & 6)

Thank you to all the parents & carers who attended our Christmas sing-along today, and to all our musicians for playing beautifully!  Special thanks also to Rochdale Music Service for coming along and playing for us!

Well done to our Year 5 & 6 children who took part in a Badminton match after school on Thursday with Bowlee Park Primary School.  They played extremely well and enjoyed playing against another school.
