Geography
This half term, we have been looking at how land is used in the local area. We have enjoyed visits to Ryecroft Park, a virtual tour of the Snipe Retail Park and a walk to Ashton Moss Nature Reserve. In class, we have been recording some of our findings in our Google Classroom and we've been drawing maps of the local area. Below are some of the photos taken on our adventures!

Maths
We enjoy our maths. Here we are using our place value grids and counters to investigate number.
Design and Technology
In DT, we have become soup testers. We then designed and made our own nutritional soup and included different foods from the different food groups. After we had made our soup, we evaluated it and most of us decided that it was delicious!
National Fitness Day
We took part in National Fitness Day on Wednesday 22nd September. Key Stage 2 gathered in the playground and had an energetic workout with Mrs Hind.
George's Marvellous Medicine
We are really enjoying this great book by Roald Dahl. Today (20th September), we created our own amazing potions. We explored different parts of the playground where we found lots of interesting ingredients. Have a look at our photos below.

We are starting a new English unit of work on explanation texts. Wallace and Gromit will feature in our work as well as some other amazing contraptions.

During our maths lessons, we have been partitioning numbers, comparing numbers and practising our times tables.
Our theme for this half term is 'Food, Glorious Food!' We will be learning about nutrition in science, as well as creating our own healthy soups.
Keep checking our class page as soon, we will be adding photos of some of the great learning that has been going on in our classroom.

On Tuesday 12th March, some visitors from Tameside School Games came in to work with us. Five activities were set up including, Pirate Plank, Make a Racket and Zig-Zag. We were set a personal challenge which was to beat our own scores/times on each activity. We really enjoyed ourselves.
Doing the Pirate Plank and more....
World Book Day
On Thursday 7th March, we celebrated World Book Day. We dressed up as different book characters, took part in lots of different book activities and, along with the rest of the school, enjoyed the story Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae. Have a look at our photos and see if you can work out who we dressed up as.
Rocks and Fossils
This term, we have been learning about rocks and fossils. We made careful observations of different rocks and used magnifying glasses to look even closer. In our books, we then described the rocks using interesting adjectives. We enjoyed learning about fossils and the life of Mary Anning.

After singing some songs, talking with Father Christmas and receiving a present, we took part in some Christmas crafts where we made some Victorian Christmas decorations/toys.
After dinner, we dressed up as Victorian children and went round the different rooms in Clayton Hall. In each room, there were activities to do and we found out lots of interesting information. We had a great day out and we thank all the volunteers at Clayton Hall for a wonderful experience.

Working Together in Maths and English
This week we have been working well together. In maths, we have been learning about the properties of 2D shapes and sorting them into a Venn diagram. As part of our work in English, about George’s Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl, we have been creating our own adverts for a magic potion.
Our Visit to the Moravian Settlement in Droylsden
On Tuesday 18th September we visited the Fairfield Moravian settlement. We had a great morning and learned lots of interesting facts about the settlement. In the first part of the morning, we went into the church and had a walk around the 'village'. After that, we took part in 3 activities which were looking at old artefacts, dressing up as a Moravian settler and looking around the small, but fascinating, museum.
