We Love Reading!

By Mr J Morgan2nd April 2019

Recently, our wonderful Reading Council members held a book sale and with the money raised, they allocated a budget for each class to spend on their reading corners, in order to win ‘best reading corner.’

The competition was tough, with each class taking it very seriously! Reading Council arranged for a very special guest to come into school and judge the competition – our very own Mrs Ross! Together with Reading Council and School Council as well as some input from parents – the winning class was decided… Congratulations to Year 6 who created their reading corner based on a number of the children’s own designs.

 

Below is a picture of the winning book corner, along with some of the other classes efforts!

Year 5 Author Visit

Year 5 had the privilege of meeting author Alan Gibbons this week, as part of our celebrations around World Book Day. Alan has written over 60 books and won many prestigious awards such as the Blue Peter Award for ‘The Book I Couldn’t Put Down’, the Angus Book Award and the Stockport Book Award. He has also been shortlisted twice for the Carnegie Medal and his books have been published into dozens of languages.

The children were captivated by Alan’s telling of stories and by the advice he gave them about writing. Each child received a signed copy of one of Alan’s books.

Nursery Visit to Newbridge House

By Mr J Morgan14th December 2018

Today our afternoon Nursery visited Newbridge House as one of their acts of Advent Kindness. The children decorated the tree for the residents with the decorations they had made. They sang Jingle Bells and Baa Baa sheep and were rewarded with a cake. Everyone loved it and we were invited to go back again! Well done Nursery!

Parliament Week – School Debate

By Mr J Morgan15th November 2018

Yesterday, Key Stage 2 held a debate in school as part of Parliament Week. The children were debating ‘Should children have access to mobile phones, social networking and online games?’

This was a very structured debate with excellent views and reasoning provided by all pupils. The remaining Year 4, 5 and 6 children then took park in a vote at the Polling Station.

The result was 27 in favour of children having access to mobile phones, and 21 against. This just demonstrates what a close debate it was, and how well the children put across their views. Well done to all involved!
