Happy New Year
The children in LB2 came back to school ready and eager to learn.
During Literacy, the children talked about what they did and where they went during the Christmas holidays. They then looked at Inprint words to add to their picture. They then wrote about what they had done.
The children had had a wonderful Christmas break from school and had enjoyed
" going on holiday with my family", "going to winter wonderland", " doing the climbing on the wall", " going to my family house".
We are all looking forward to learning this term.

Reception have been super busy on their first week back learning all about our new season, Winter! In literacy the children read the story 'One Snowy Night'. We retold the story by drawing a story map and worked hard by describing the main character; Percy's personality in sentences using our phonics skills.
In our maths learning we have started the topic Alive in 5, focusing on the numbers 0-5. We enjoyed finding less than one number, using the rhyme '5 current buns in a bakers shop'. We also worked on different ways of showing the numbers 0-5 by playing a comparing game, looking at which child got the most bean bags in the Hula hoop. We also looked at different ways to write these numbers by looking at the numerals and recording them in a tally.
In the afternoon we learnt more about the season winter, looking at all of the difference changes in the weather and the different clothes you would need to keep warm. The children enjoyed making snowflakes and drinking, warm hot chocolate after taking part in a winter walk.

What a lovely end to the Winter term! Thank you to everyone for their behaviour over the week which allowed us to be able to do everything festive that we had planned. We were mega impressed by the Christmas cracker performances which attests to the hard work done to learn the words and dance moves to the songs and we loved the Christmas party (especially the visit from Santa with his gifts of new books!).
Please do keep on reading, find a book that interests you or on something that you want to learn more about. Oldham library on Greaves Street is a great place to go to get access to more books with a vast range of genres. You could also spend some time on SumDog or TT Rockstars so that when you come back you are still sharp and ready to learn.
Well done to you all for your efforts over the whole term and we hope that you enjoy a very well earnt rest over the next two weeks.
We can't wait to see you all again in 2023!!!

It's been a wonderful week as Classes 11 and 12 were fortunate enough to be able to travel to Queen Elizabeth Hall to see a live orchestra perform the music from the 'The Snowman'. It was an incredibly enriching experience and we hope that there might be some inspired musicians in our class.

This week has been challenging for the students as they have been put through their paces with assessments in Maths and English. We are very proud of everyone's attitude and approach to the assessments which can be daunting and are sure that it will show the rewards of the hard work and progress that we see in their work every week.
Outside of this we have been studying the life of Charles Dickens and have written biographies on the life of one of Britain's most renowned authors. It has certainly been a change of pace after four weeks of looking and writing our own fables and legends but everyone has adapted very well and demonstrated their abilities to understand the changes which need to take place when writing for different audiences and purpose. To read more into the life of Charles Dickens or to recap on what we have been learning in class, check out this website: Who was Charles Dickens? - BBC Bitesize
Some of Dicken's works have been made into easy-to-watch youtube videos. Here are the links of some to watch to help to deepen your knoweldge and acquaint yourself with his stories.
