God's Creation Art Paintings, by Mrs Perry
Date: 28th Jan 2026 @ 4:05pm
In Art we have been learning to paint God’s beautiful creations. The children have enjoyed looking closely at nature, such as flowers, trees, and animals, and using different colours and brushes to show what they can see. Through painting, the children are learning to care for God’s world, share their ideas, and feel proud of the special artwork they create.
River Walk, by Miss Robinson
Date: 28th Jan 2026 @ 4:01pm
This morning, Year 4 had a walk to follow the journey of the River Roch. On the way to the River Roch, we walked along the canal. When we arrived at the River Roch, we were upstream nearer to the source and we followed the river flow downstream. We spotted fast flowing water, like rapids, and a sign warning people of the danger of this. We saw flood barriers/defences near to the important building of Riverside. Here, there was also a steep riverbank. The water depth varied and we could spot the rocks of the river bed in some places. One interesting part of the River Roch is that is goes underneath part of the town so it felt like we could walk on water! Well done year 4 for walking so sensibly today!

This term we have been learning how to write alogorithms for some new hardware we have in school. The new equipment involves pieces called, " Crumble and Sparkle." Despite Mrs Cavill calling it a "Crimble," 5C have been doing incredibly well. This week our circuit included a crimble, a sparkle, a motor and a wheel.

Class 2K Assembly, by Miss Kyte
Date: 19th Jan 2026 @ 2:50pm
On Thursday we did our Year Two Class assembly all about New Beginnings. We focused on the celebrations of New Year and talked about the traditions that many of us have around this time such as making New Years resolutions, singing Auld Lang Syne and counting down at midnight. We also looked at all of the exciting things that we have to look forward to in the year of 2026 such as the Mens Football World Cup, a full solar eclipse and lots of exciting new movies! We described Bible stories that relate to new beginnings and how they can symbolise a fresh start. We looked at examples of this such as Noah and the Ark and Moses leaving the Egyptian Palace. The children were incredible in their class assembly and did themseleves proud!

Rochdale Council Recycling Lesson, by Miss Healey
Date: 16th Jan 2026 @ 11:56am
This week, Year 5 had a special visitor, Nigel Goulding, Environmental Education Officer at Rochdale Borough Council. Nigel told us so much information, from what items go in each coloured bin, to what actually happens to our recycled waste to create something new! We looked into how we can reduce the amount of waste we create; reuse items that can be repurposed; recycle ones that cannot and recover energy from our General Waste by burning it and harvesting electricty from the heat. We are now enviroment champions and we will be taking all our learning home so we are doing our best always for our environment.

Last half term, we made musical instruments! We have worked so hard on this unit, looking into existing instruments, seeing which area make sound and how. We have researched traditionally made instruments as well as instruments for certain cultures. The children partnered up, designed the instrument they wanted to make and then used recycled items to create their final product!

Year 2 Art- Patterns around every corner, by Mrs Bradley
Date: 12th Jan 2026 @ 3:13pm
In our recent art lesson, we introduced our new topic by exploring patterns found all around us. The children discussed patterns they could spot in our school environment and thought about how these could inspire their artwork. We then went outside to investigate further, using a range of materials to create textured rubbings from different surfaces. Afterwards, we shared and discussed our work, reflecting on what we found easy and what we found more challenging during the process. This hands-on lesson encouraged observation, creativity, and thoughtful discussion. Well done year 2, an excellent start to this topic.
