Planting in Kaden’s garden
This half term we have been learning all about plants in Science. This afternoon we went up to Kaden’s garden to do planting of our own! We planted tomato plants that were very kindly donated by one of our parents, into the large planting bed using a range of gardening tools. We then used cardboard plant pots and soil and planted different vegetable seeds to take home. We can’t wait to see all of our Read more
Computing
Spreadsheets
This half term in computing we have been looking at spreadsheets. We setup a shop on a spreadsheet on purple mash. We had to add a food item at the top and add a price next to it. We then used the add button and equals so the spreadsheet could then work out what coins we would need to make each amount.

Secrets of Success
SATs celebrations
On Monday year 6 enjoyed a full day of celebrating completing their SATs. All of the staff at St Luke’s are immensely proud of the children for their hard work, commitment and resilience last week when completing their tests. The children have worked so hard leading up to their SATs and last week were amazing. They celebrated with a trip to Queen’s Park and Dominos pizza.

Science Show with Adrian Bowden- Light and Sound
Year 3 have really enjoyed watching the science show this morning on light and sound. It was fantastic to see how much they have remembered since learning about light in year 2 and sound at the beginning of the year. A scientist came into school and we did lots of experiments with him and thoroughly enjoyed taking part! Well done Year 3!
Physical Education
P.E. Athletics
Over the half term our class have been developing our Athletic skills. Today we focused on Javelin skills. The children mastered the ‘pull throw’ technique and then practised it with the soft javelin. They looked for the signal to throw them and then again when it was safe to collect. Well done Year 3 for your excellent effort, participation and teamwork!

Planting
We have been reading and learning about the story Jack and the beanstalk. During forest school this week we have planted our very own beans. We are hoping the magic works and they all grow high up into the sky.
British Values
Visit to the Golden Mosque
Year 5 have had a great time this morning visiting the Golden Mosque in Rochdale. We arrived already knowing a great deal about the Islamic religion (from our RE lessons) and the guide was very impressed with our knowledge. We learnt lots of new things about Islam and were very respectful while looking at the religious artefacts, the great hall, the holy books and the decorative ornaments.
