Year 5 have had a fantastic afternoon with professional dancers from the Northern Ballet School. It was the first of our dance workshops, which is leading to performances at the Bridgewater Hall and the Hallé St Peter’s. The children grew in confidence during the session, used their growth mindsets and made fantastic progress.
Year 5 are becoming confident game-creators in our computing lessons and are really enjoying designing and creating their own Egyptian themed games. We have reviewed games other children have made and used these evaluations to help with our own designs. Today we began creating our own by adding scenery and walls to create the game environment. We are looking forward to adding the quest aspect to the game next week.

Hopefully there will be some left for them to Read more…

It was lots of fun looking through all of the books and choosing Read more…
This week Year 3 have been learning about the ring of fire. In groups of four, we each had a different area/ section of a map, on which we used co-ordinates to plot volcanoes that have erupted in the last few hundred years. Once each member had completed their individual map, we put the four pieces together. From this, we found out that the majority of the volcanoes are in groups around the coast and Read more…
