We have had a lovely week recognising all our children’s achievements through our celebration assemblies.
Within our assemblies, children have loved sharing their work within history, exploring artefacts, looking at primary and secondary sources to help develop their knowledge and understanding of key events from the past. We are extremely proud of our older pupils who spoke about the importance of learning from the mistakes from the past, in relation to the Transatlantic Slave Trade and World War 1 and 2. We would like to thank all those who attended these events.
It was great to see so many parents at our reading workshop too. We received great feedback from those that were able to attend and hope that you are able to explore the resources over the coming weeks with your child. Please note children in reception and year 1 will be coming home with a weekly overview that explains their current learning and provides support so you can help them at home. This links directly to the learning in class and is supported by the Collins E-book. If anyone would like to find out more about our approach to reading or requires additional resources, please speak to your child’s teacher.
Despite the awful weather, our children continue to achieve great things. Our Y5 pupils have definitely demonstrated how resilient they are in completing their Bikeability training. Many children have increased their confidence and are now competent out on the roads. We look forward to sharing in your successes during our assembly.
We are really looking forward to our after-school clubs commencing on Monday. There are a few places remaining which can be booked through the app. If your child is unable to attend please let us know as several of our clubs have waiting lists. If children miss 2 sessions, places will be reallocated. In addition to our after-school cub offer, we are pleased to announce that Tameside Chess Club have chosen to hold their training sessions at Flowery Field. This is a great opportunity for our children as the nearest training centre is currently in Ashton. Sessions run on a Monday night from 615 to 7 45 and cost £1. We are also hosting an additional after school club on Tuesday’s, with an outside provider, unfortunately there will be a small charge for this provision. Places and payment can be made through the app.
Finally, can we remind all families to check their details in the MCAS app and update their details. Following the Christmas break, we have been unable to contact a few families.
Wishing you all an enjoyable and relaxing weekend
