Thanks to everyone who joined us for our Reception class assembly this morning. It was great to see and hear how much our reception children have learned about the human body, how it works and how moved. Dancing to the Birdie Song again after all these years was great fun. Well done to all the children for sharing their learning and their jokes, and for having the confidence to use the microphones in the school hall! |

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our Year 5 class assembly this morning. We learned a lot about the many different islands around the world, in particular life in the Scilly Isles. You clearly have to love island life to live there. Well done, Year 5, for your excellent and very clear presentation, particularly waiting for each other to sit down before the next speaker and for involving the audience. |

The children (and staff) enjoyed visits to the theatre this week. Both plays (Mr Popper’s Penguins and Hetty Feather) were very well performed at the Quays Theatre at The Lowry. Great behaviour from all of the children, thanks everyone – staff at the The Lowry were very complimentary about the whole school. As a school, we are committed to ensuring that all children have opportunities to experience art and culture outside school. Every child visited the theatre this week. |

A huge thanks and “well done” to everyone involved in the Christmas concerts this week. I got to appreciate the talents of our junior children as an audience member this Christmas. Thanks to the children, Mrs Cheetham, Miss Whittaker and the whole Key Stage 2 team and children for two great performances. We say goodbye to Miss Chapman (Year 3 teacher) this week and wish her well for the future. In January, we will be joined by a new Year 3 teacher, Mrs Matthews. I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas. |

I want to say “well done” and thank you to all of our Early Years children for their wonderful performances of their Christmas play, The Bossy King. It is great to see so many children developing in confidence at just 3 and 4 years of age! Our Year 1 and Year 2 children were also brilliant in their performances of It’s a Party. I particularly enjoyed the singing in this play – it was great fun and sing well, with some lovely solos. Well done, everyone! |

We were delighted this morning to welcome Dr Martyn Shaw and musicians from the Chetham’s School of Music, based in Manchester, to our morning assembly. The students played a selection of pieces which were mostly ‘early music’ – pieces composed over 300 years ago. The students played recorder, keyboard, Viol de Gamba (an early cello) and flute. One student with soprano voice sang. It was a very unusual programme of pieces – you could hear a pin drop as the children focussed on each performance. Thanks to Dr Shaw and the students of Chetham’s for a wonderful performance. Year 5 also took part in a music/dance workshop, learning a dance from the 17th century! |

Year 6 and staff had a great week in the Isle of Man last week. The ferry crossings were probably our best yet (with no illness!) and the weather was mostly kind. The staff team (Miss Chapman, Mrs Moran, Mrs Jones and myself) would like to thank all of the children for their great behaviour and enthusiasm. We had a lovely time, thank you.
