This week we have had the opportunity to reflect on the learning that has taken place in the spring term.
Mr Smith and Ms Cadwallader have been extremely impressed with our computing work, especially our work on coding. Children across early years have explored programmable toys, whilst in Key Stage 1 the children have written their own algorithms. Within Key Stage 2 the children have been working with our new Microbits exploring how software and hardware work together. These Microbits have many programmable features which the children can explore to complement their learning across the curriculum.
Likewise, Mr G has been impressed with our musical talents across school. Our Y3 children have had the opportunity to learn to play the Ukulele with Tameside Music Service. Whilst other children across school have been learning to play the Glockenspiel, exploring pitch and rhythm and combining these to create musical masterpieces. Our Y6 children are looking forward to their upcoming trip to the Halle where they will have the opportunity to experience a live orchestra.
Following the half term break, we will be focusing on the theme of kindness within our assemblies. Over half term, we are encouraging all children to fill a bucket with kindness. Children who complete their bucket will receive a small prize from school. Please help us spread the message of kindness within our local community.
As we approach World Book Day, we would like to remind all our families about the importance of sharing books together within the home. Our local libraries have lots of events for the whole family to enjoy, including Fairytale Craft which takes place on Monday 17th February at 10 30 at Hyde Library,
Finally, we would like to wish all our families a relaxing break with their family and friends. We look forward to seeing you all when we return on Tuesday 25th February.
