Today we worked on a Salford art project. We took part in ‘The Paper Party’. We looked at and discussed ‘What our gift to Salford’ would be. We discussed, people we could help, places we could make better and how we could make Salford a really great place. The inside of our boxes we wrote words and pictures about what our gift to Salford be. The outside had repeated patterns of our favourite things. These will be displayed in Salford Art Museum. Come and see.
Year 5 enjoyed their trip to Jodrell Bank today. They explored the different exhibits, the space dome and enjoyed looking at the Lovell telescope.
Nursery are learning about the life cycle of butterflies and are making caterpillars out of playdough this week. They are working hard rolling the playdough into balls and thinking about what they can use for the caterpillars legs.
This week in RE Year 2 have been learning about Judaism and a Mezuzah which contains a Shema Prayer, this is a short blessing they can say each day. We have created our own for our classroom doors to remind us to be the best we can be as we enter and leave the classroom.
Year 5 enjoyed a visit from Yvonne who works for City Wide to take part in a “Food for Champions” session. They learnt about allergens and enjoyed making vegetable nuggets.

We have moved on from telling the time to focussing on statistics in Maths this week.
We have looked at tally charts, tables and will be moving onto block diagrams and pictograms. Year 2 really enjoyed going into each others classes to conduct their own survey based on a question of their choice. We had many different surveys going on at one time from finding out the most popular ice cream flavour to the most popular World Cup football team.
The children have also created clay tiles in Art last week. They really enjoyed themselves and created some beautiful tiles with lovely details.
This week we have been learning our number bonds to 10. We have been singing our ‘Farmer Pete’ song in our small world area, making our number bonds with different resources and even recording our number bonds together ready for Year 1. Keep practicing at home Reception!
