We are incredibly proud of the children who have attended the intensive swimming course at the Alan Higgs Centre over the past two weeks learning a very important life skill. They have shown bravery and determination as well as perseverance by walking there and back every day.

This week we have enjoyed learning about the circulatory system. We have learnt the names and functions of the different parts of the heart, made blood, acted out how blood travels around the body, measured our heart rates before and after exercise and dissected pig’s hearts. *Final photos include pig’s hearts.
Some of our children went to Broad Heath Primary School to represent our school at a recent competition. We were really proud of the children and their high levels of determination and will power. A big thank you to two of our sports leaders who also went and lead one of the stations.
Year 6 had a visit from a local scientist and learnt about light. We carried out a variety of different experiments and had a lot of fun.
On Wednesday, our year 6 football team played a tough match against Pearl Hyde. They showed real team work and commitment and won the match 3-1. They are doing very well in the league, winning 2 games and drawing one, and continue to show a high level of enthusiasm for the game. Well done boys and Mr Hancock and Callum
Year 5 enjoyed their PE lesson outside this week perfecting the game of Throlf which is a version of golf which encorporates throwing.

We couldn’t be prouder of the children for how hard they’ve worked this week! They have worked very hard and done their best – we couldn’t have asked for anymore from them. We celebrated the end of SATs with a BBQ and games on the field.
We celebrated the Queen’s platinum jubilee with cakes, squash and some traditional games. We have enjoyed learning about our monarch and watching some clips from her coronation 70 years ago!
During the afternoon, some children went to the learning hub to practice their Maths skills with Miss Panesar.
