This afternoon Year 5 have studied the famous artist / architect, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and created artist profile pages. We researched facts about Hundertwasser and presented the information using his style of artistry. The children spent time studying his work and chose their favourite facts to include. The results are amazing, well done Year 5!
Over the past few weeks, Year 3 have been learning how to play rounders, developing a range of key skills along the way. They have practised batting, bowling, catching, and fielding. It has been great to see their enthusiasm and progress!
Year 2 had an amazing time on our class trip to Imagine That! Throughout the day, we took part in lots of exciting hands-on activities. We made slime, painted our own magnets, and even created dry snow, which everyone loved experimenting with. We also enjoyed exploring the role-play area, where the children used their imaginations and worked together in lots of fun activities. One of the highlights of the trip was watching a scientist carry Read more
In history, we have been learning about notable people from Heywood and exploring why they are remembered. Working in groups, we chose one individual to research and created a detailed fact file about their life, achievements, and impact. After completing our research, each group presented their findings to the rest of the class, helping others learn about different influential figures. Throughout this lesson, we developed important Skills Builder skills such as teamwork by collaborating effectively, Read more
Year 5 enjoyed an exciting visit to Newhouse Academy today, where they took part in a hands-on science lesson all about chemical reactions. During the session, the children worked like real scientists, using a range of laboratory equipment to carry out experiments and observe how different substances react when combined. They were fascinated to see colour changes, fizzing reactions, and even temperature differences as the experiments took place. The experience not only helped them understand Read more

Well done to the children who recently created their own lava lamps using water, oil, food colouring, and a fizzy tablet, turning a simple activity into an engaging science investigation at home. They observed how oil floats on water due to differences in density and learned that the two liquids do not mix, while the fizzy tablet produced gas bubbles that carried coloured water up through the oil before it sank back down, creating the Read more
