RNLI water safety – Year 1 and 2

The RNLI visited school to teach classes about the importance of staying safe around water.

Year 5 & 6 – RNLI Water Safety

The RNLI visited school to teach classes about the importance of staying safe around water. We learned about identifying risks of playing in and around water, how to save someone who is in trouble in water and different risks at the beach, as well as the meaning of the RNLI flags at the beach.

Y6 First Aid Training

This afternoon, Y6 took part in some first aid training with Carmel from Red Cross. The children learned how to check for a response from a person, to check if an unresponsive person is breathing and then how to put them into the recovery position and how to perform chest compressions.

The children also learned how to recognise the signs that someone is choking and how to help them.

Fire and Rescue visit

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue visited us today to teach us all about water safety.

Year 4 – Letters of Hope

At Christmas time, our Year 4 children linked their RE learning to the theme of hope by writing heartfelt letters to patients in our local hospital. Their aim was simple — to spread kindness, comfort and hope to people who may have been feeling lonely, worried or unwell during the festive season.

One of those letters reached a gentleman called Ray, who had been very poorly in hospital. Ray explained that the child’s letter brought him comfort during a very difficult time and gave him something positive to hold onto when he needed it most.

Today, we were incredibly touched and privileged to welcome Ray into school, where he personally delivered a reply letter to the child who had written to him. Ray also spent time speaking to the Year 4 children about the impact their words had on him and how much their kindness meant during his recovery.

It was such a powerful moment for the children to see firsthand how even the smallest act of kindness can make such a big difference in someone’s life. We are so proud of our pupils for showing compassion, empathy and love through their words, and for making such a meaningful impact on another person’s life.

Well done, Year 4 — you should be very proud of yourselves. 💙

Y4 Big Lent Walk

The children walked together to help raise awareness and support people living in poverty around the world. A wonderful way to live out our faith in action during Lent. 💜

We had a fantastic school trip to Martin Mere Wetlands. 🌱 The children explored the wetlands, spotting lots of different animals and learning about the habitats they live in. We talked about the wildlife and we saw and discovered many new things about nature.
We spent time noticing and appreciating the beauty of the natural world around us. The children worked towards becoming Guardians of Nature, thinking about how we can care for our environment. To finish the day, everyone enjoyed some time in the play area! It was a lovely day full of exploration, learning and fun! 🦆 🦅 🦢 🦦

Year 5 – English – Mary Jackson Court Case Roleplay

We have been studying the ‘Hidden Figures’ book in English, about the Civil Rights Movement and the inspirational black women of NACA and NASA during the 20th century. During this lesson, we created a roleplay script between Mary Jackson and a judge at the local court, as she asked to be given an equal education to others. A great chance to practice using a formal and official tone with our writing! Once created, children acted out the moment.
