Year 1 have been very busy this week in art and design creating sculptures. They worked together to design the buildings for a city! Thank you to all our wonderful parents for your kind donations of rubbish!

Year 2 are learning to play the African drums. They are lucky to have a specialist teacher who comes into school to teach them.

This half term Y5 are designing inspiration boards themed around ‘work’.

On Wednesday afternoon they developed their colour mixing skills and worked with acrylic paints to improve their work.

On Thursday they painted in monochrome. First, they had to mix different shades of grey before then practising shading on their own ‘Trabajador’.

I can’t wait to see your final pieces of artwork. Well done Y5!

4M Trip to the Science & Industry Museum

This week, 4 Modahl enjoyed an interesting and exciting trip to the Science & Industry Museum. They visited a special exhibition to continue their learning about the digestive system. This included the world premiere exhibition of Operation Ouch! Food, Poo and You, from the hit BBC Children’s TV series. Everyone had a great time!

This week 3 Wilkinson walked to Longsight Library and had a look at all the wonderful books.

They noticed that the inside of the library had changed. The children’s book area had moved to another part of the library.

The children each chose a book to read and then got to take it back to school.

During guided reading children will be given the opportunity to read their library books. All Longsight Library books stay in school.

You can borrow library books to take home by registering at the library. Why not pop along this weekend?

Department for Sport

Welcome to our new Department for Sport, they are: 

Our Department for Sport Pupil Parliament were selected out of 171 applications for their drive and determination to improve pupils’ health and well-being 

This week our newly formed Department for Sport set a school challenge to celebrate National Fitness Day. 

Every class was set a challenge to either skip, jump, hop, dance, jog or balance for three minutes without stopping. Despite the weather, every class participated with smiles on their faces. The Department for Sport were out cheering them on and encouraging them to continue. 

We can’t wait to see the further challenges set by our committed Department for Sport. 

A huge well done to you all!

4W have loved learning all about the digestive system in their Science lessons.

They drew round their bodies and tried to work out where the organs of the digestive system went. They then did an experiment to replicate the digestive system by putting crackers and bananas into a food bag (stomach), adding water (saliva) and orange juice (stomach acid). They squeezed the contents of the ‘stomach’ into the small intestines (tights) and then the large intestines (cup) before finally becoming faeces.

The children had lots of fun and worked brilliantly on the practical activities.
