Our Friday celebration assembly started with Year 2. They shared with the school their learning about classification of animals using a sorting key.

It was excellent to see how well they were able to apply their understanding through applying this knowledge and skill in their work.  Year 1 have been looking at ways of developing their line drawing in Art lessons. They have produced some fantastic pieces of work and used this important skill in their paintings. The children in Year 6 Oak and 6 Cherry have been working hard on learning about the Suffragettes and wrote a newsletter detailing the events that surrounded the very famous event which took place in the Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall in 1908. Year 5 used their computing skills to make a design of a net to create a 3D car. Year 4 Rowan were able to make cup phones in Science this week using 2 cups and string. They demonstrated how sound travels on waves. We were treated to two excellent pieces of homework from Year 4 which showcased their understanding and learning about rivers. Year 3 have worked hard on creating non-chronological report about aliens. Thank you children for sharing such excellent learning. Keep this going.

Congratulations to Ahmed, Lucas, Erisa, Savannah, Erisa, Elisa, Frankie, Oliver, Parker and Cole who all gained their wings this week.
