The following children have been awarded ‘Star Reader’ and enjoyed going to the ‘Starbooks’ cafe in the library to enjoy a drink and a treat as their reward. Fantastic!

On Monday 9th June, select children from our school were invited to go to Hollingworth Lake Water  Activity Centre to take part in a sailing media day.

Some more fantastic pieces of homework from Year 4. The volcanoes look fabulous, some children were able to erupt theirs using bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. We can’t wait to see more!

The workshop was run by the engineering department at Manchester University. The children completed a robotics challenge where they had to look at the 5 features of a robot and then create their own robot based on these features. The robot they created had to be able to survive in the ocean! The children created annotated diagrams and then made a 'grabber' which they got to take home. 

At Ordsall Hall the children were guided around a Tudor house by 'characters in role.' They explored the different rooms, learning about where Tudors ate, cooked, slept, gardened and entertained. The children had opportunities to dress up, create spices for food, create herb potions to warn evil spirits away and dance! There was also a question and answer session at the end!

Year 5 children will be walking to the Town Hall for the graduation ceremony on Thursday 19th June, accompanied by school staff, leaving school at approximately 12.45pm. We will then return to school at a slightly later time at 3.45pm

Please ensure you complete and return the consent form that was sent home last week as soon as possible. Thank you.

Classes from EYFS to Year 5 took part in 'Start the Day the Hallé Way'. A  musical and fun-filled assembly led by two members of the Hallé - an opera singer and         trumpeter. Children were introduced to instruments of the orchestra, and were enthused with a range of musical  activities led by the Halle musicians. It was a fantastic  musical assembly enjoyed by all! 

As part of their English topic, Year 3 have been invited to attend the Martin Mere Wetland Centre on Thursday 19^th June.

Please ensure your child wears appropriate footwear and that they have their sun hats and have sun cream applied, appropriate for the weather on the day.
