Longdendale trip

Here are some of the photos that you all took on Thursday’s trip (there are more to come). Sorry there is no music, I couldn’t find the songs that I wanted to use. If you have any suggestions of songs which would fit the theme of the slideshows, let me know by writing a comment below!

New Topic – India

Hi everyone, next term we will be starting our new topic, India.

This means we will need a new header designing for our blog. I was very impressed with the effort that you all put in with the last ones so I am excited to see what you produce.

If you are struggling for ideas, try searching for some Indian designs or patterns. Some of the colours and patterns are beautiful and I am sure you will find lots of inspiration.

Anyway, have fun and I hope you are all having a good Good Friday! :-)

Sport Relief

Well done everyone on a fantastic Sport Relief. Miss Ferris announced today that our school raised over £1500 which is absolutely incredible! Your efforts will have changed lives for the better in our country and around the world! You should all be very proud!

Here are some slideshows of you all running the mile (or 5 miles in some cases!) and of you playing your maths area games (best soundtrack EVER!).

River Trip – Thursday 29th March

Hi everyone,

I was disappointed not to be in school today, I hope you all had a good day!

I should be back in school tomorrow so our little walk down to the Mersey should still go ahead. Don’t forget to wear some sensible trainers. The weather forecast is also predicting more nice weather so feel free to bring a hat to keep the sun off your head!

I’m off to the shops now to buy the ingredients for our sandwiches.

See you all tomorrow!

Homework – 100 word challenge

This week we have been looking at persuasive language. Furthermore, we always set homework. Consequently this homework seeks to combine your recent literacy study with our 100 Word Challenges in order to provide you with opportunities to rehearse your skills.

As a result of this combination, your task is to produce 100 words either FOR or AGAINST homework.

Remember, you must try to state your opinion effectively, using emotive language, before giving evidence to support your point of view. Also seek to use good quality formal connectives see examples above in italics.
The words that must be in the prompt this week are, ‘I think homework’.

You can post here as a comment or log in to post on the 100 word challenge blog.

Good luck

Angles games

Hi everyone,

I have put the games that we played today in our maths lesson in the links on the right-hand side.

All of the games that we played allowed you to practise estimating angles, thinking about acute, obtuse, reflex and right angles. With more practice, you will be able to estimate angles more accurately in degrees.

Have fun!

Donate your old football shirts

As you all know, Dylan’s dad is visiting Zambia soon as part of his volunteer work with Manchester Aid For Children. This is a charity that helps children in Zambia whose lives have been affected by the diseases AIDS and HIV.

The charity provides:

•Food and clothing aid
•Assistance with school fees, uniforms and books
•Assistance with health care
•Support for accommodation needs
•Links into bereavement and HIV/Aids counselling services

In addition to this fantastic support, Dylan’s dad is also asking you to donate any old football kits to the children in Zambia.

Your shirts could put a smile on a child’s face and make their day a lot brighter.

Empty out your drawers and look in your wardrobes. If you have any old football kits that you can spare (please check with an adult first), please bring them into school as soon as possible and
before FRIDAY 16TH MARCH

Thank you for your support ;-)
