An excellent KS1 and KS2 Monday morning assembly was presented by Anees and his team via a power point presentation on endangered species across the world.

On Monday, Mrs Davis and Mrs Ahmed took 13 children and some parents to “Live Life” event at Rochdale Town Hall. The children had a great time looking around the exhibits and trying out some of the apparatus there designed to help you to get fit. They even used a bike to help them make a fruit smoothie.

On Tuesday the school council, together with Ms Burrow, Mrs Davis, were treated to a day out in Manchester as a reward for all their hard work so far this year. They took advantage of the free train and tram transport offered by Northern Rail Ambassador, Mrs Zainib Ahmed. The group got off the train at Manchester Victoria Station and were given a talk by Steve the stationmaster. From there they went on a tram to the Roman Ruins at Castlefield and on to the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry. Hunger pangs started then so it was off to “Rice,” a restaurant on Deansgate. The children tasted international meals. Thank you school council, you were a joy to be with.

Miss Bates went to Holy Family School on Tuesday with her Community Cohesion Group to meet pupil representatives from other schools. The theme of this meeting was “Who inspires us?” Pupils talked about their parents and famous people.

Kingsway Park High School was visited three times this week. Miss Kiely’s and Mrs Vickers’ classes went to work on their theme of animals. Mrs Campbell-Starling’s Year 6 children went to do a Rock Salt Challenge. This involved using equipment that they wouldn’t be able to access in primary school.

Three of our children with visual and hearing impairments went to an athletics event on Friday at Wardle High School. They took part in various activities and had a super time.
