Our chance to say good bye!
This week the PTA organised for the children to have some time to say an official good bye and thank you to both Miss Haggerty and Mrs Wilson, who leave us next week to start their retirement. We made them a lovely little book each with some personal messages from the children to thank them both and to show them just how much we are going to miss them!
Our learning this week…
In English the children have been recognising how modal verbs can be used to indicate degrees of possibility. The children have also created a persuasive advert.
In maths the children have been looking at decimals including thousandths.
Geography - The children have used an ordnance survey map of Blackpool and have identified features on the map using six figure grid references. This week we also collated the results of the fieldwork questionnaires and the children have produced pie charts to analyse the data and draw conclusions.
In computing the children have decomposed a program on the micro-bit to work out the algorithms. The children were then challenged to program the micro-bit to function like a scoreboard to record the results of a game of ‘Rock, paper, scissors’.
In PE the children have used more challenging maps (netball court maps) to learn map orientation. The children worked as a team, co-operating and discussing effectively.
Our award winners:

Performing at the RSC in Stratford-Upon-Avon
Congratulations to Samuel and Max, who were given the opportunity to perform on the RSC stage in Stratford- Upon-Avon this week. They had been chosen to represent our school alongside other children from schools in our Associate schools cluster to perform a scene from Much Ado About Nothing. Mrs Ormerod, who accompanied the boys to Stratford, said they were amazing and we’re just so proud of them both. Well done Samuel and Max! 👏🏻🎭
