Hello Mr Guinea Pig

This week Year 1 went on a trip to Smithills Farm in Bolton and enjoyed learning about all the different areas of a farm, such as the milking parlour. They had a great day coming into contact with all the different animals.

Urban Crew V The Apprentice

Last Friday members of the School's Urban Crew went to the Manchester Communication Academy to compete against 8 other schools in an apprentice style challenge. 
Their task was to design and produce their own CD's and sell them to members of staff in a Market Place. The "2 Good To Be True" series of 2 track CD's were produced with 8 different combination of tracks. They used a projector and a rolling Powerpoint presentation to help advertise their range of products.


I thought they did brilliantly working out the costs and being really enthusiastic sellers. Great team work, well done!

Year 6 are very dramatic !

With lots of help from Natasha from the Zion Arts Centre in Hulme, the Year 6 Drama Group performed a version of the tale , "Where The Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak. It involved song and dance as well as some powerful acting, by the looks of the pictures they had a good time too.
