This week we have found out about Chinese New Year and the way this is celebrated around the world. During our assemblies we have been finding out more about the different traditions. This year marks the year of the Snake! Many of our children have expressed an interest in joining in the celebrations this weekend. Manchester City Centre have lots of planned events for the whole family to enjoy. Please click on the link to find out more: Chinese New Year in Manchester
Across school there is lots of great science learning taking place. Our Y1 children have had a virtual visit from a penguin expert, they had lots of questions to ask and loved finding out about how to care for them. Within Y2 the children have been exploring different types of materials, whilst Y3 children have explored the difference between opaque, translucent and transparent materials during their work on light. Year 4 have focused on electricity and applied their knowledge create their own buzzer games! Whilst our oldest pupils have been exploring our universe and what makes us unique through their work on evolution.
On Tuesday, Mr Wright and Mrs Caldecott attended training to support our youngest pupils in school in learning to ride a bike! We are excited to announce that we have obtained 6 balance bikes, complete with protective clothing and look forward to adding this to our curriculum offer. We are also extremely grateful to those parents who have donated scooters to provide further opportunities at lunchtime. We look forward to adding these once additional training has been put in place.
Finally, we would like to thank families for joining in our Y6 Wonderlicious Fundraiser, the team are extremely grateful for your generosity which will be used to fund the Y6 hoodies and their end of year party! If you are yet to take part, there are some great prizes on offer including: 2 x Hyde United home match tickets, an Amazon Fire tablet, Cockfields Farm family ticket, a Chocolate hamper, or a Giant Squishmallow!. Please note final orders need to be placed by Monday.
Wishing you a lovely and relaxing weekend
Mrs Silk
