This week in Class 3 we have had such a fantastic week. In maths we have been looking at addition and using lots of different methods to help us soliving our number sentences.
In Literacy we have been reading the book 'The lonely beast.' Class 3 wrote some amazing descriptions all about him. We were SO impressed with the different adjectives they came up with.
During our Design and Technology lessons we have started looking at lever and slider toys. We had a go at playing with some of our own, and have even started to design our very own toys that we will make on Monday.
Have a look at some of our super designs. We can't wait to see the finished product, and to enjoy another super week working really hard!

This week in Class 4, we have been extremely busy developing our design and technology skills. We have learnt about levers and sliders and how these mechanisms can be used to make toys. We have had a go at making toys which uses either a lever or a slider. Have a look at some of our rabbits that pop out of a magician’s hat and the cars that drives along the road.
We have started designing our own toys and next week we will be making and evaluating them. We can’t wait to see what they will look like.

This week in Year 6 we have carried on our World War II learning. We thought about why children were evacuated during the war and what this would have felt like. We realised that some children will have enjoyed this experience whilst others will have just wanted to go home. We then wrote postcards in role as evacuees. After this, we looked at a range of propaganda posters. We discussed the messages from the posters and who the posters were aimed at. We used the propaganda posters as inspiration for our own posters. In English we have carried on the story of The Harmonica, focusing on writing descriptions. We have tried to include lots of descriptive features in our writing.

This week Class 8's learning has focused around our topic of Great Britain. We started in the ICT suite researching facts about the countries that make up Great Britain. Our note taking skills were impressive! We wrote a fabulous introduction to a report using a range of sentence types to draw the reader in and encourage them to read more. Our Big Writes showed an understanding of the features of a non-chronological report and were exciting and interesting to read.
In maths we were learning column addition and exchanging. This challenged our maths brains but by the end we were feeling amazing as we had stretched our comfort zones. We wrote how we felt after this challenging learning on star post its. Anaya wrote 'I feel so amazing I could burst!'

In Class 4 this week we have read 'The Gingerbread Man'. We had a great time pretending to be the Gingerbread Man and being chased by different characters from the story.
We had great fun retelling the story and sequencing it using time connectives. Our folding story books look amazing!
We also developed our fine motor skills by cutting out and putting together a Gingerbread Man puppet. They were hard work but looked fantastic when they were finished.
In Geography this week, we discussed and compared physical and human features in our local area. Class 4 were wonderful at using their sorting skills.

Ask your children all about our story this week.
Look how amazing we are at ART!

This week we loved learning about the Indian artist; Gogi Saroj. We started our Art topic by researching our artist and discussing what we liked about her work. We then used our sketching skills to create our own version of her art and then explored mixing primary colours to create colours we will use next week in our final art piece!
What an amazing end to the half term!

I would first like to start my message by stating how incredibly impressed I am with our parents this half term. You have displayed a strong commitment in ensuring that all the children in Class 10 and Greenhill have access to a full education at school - Thank you! The children have thoroughly enjoyed their time in school.
This term for topic we researched the rainforest, we really enjoyed learning about the different layers of the rainforest, the animals of the rainforest and the impact of deforestation – I think we may have some budding climate activist in the making!
For science we learned about teeth and digestion; the children thoroughly enjoyed writing fact files, which explained the process of digestion and an information leaflet about how to keep your teeth healthy and shiny. How informative they all were!
I cannot wait for next half term!
Stay Safe and take care.

What we have been learning about this week in class 2! (WB 28.09.20)
Date: 1st Oct 2020 @ 9:26pm
This week in class 2 we have been learning about the story 'Peace at Last'. The children have enjoyed retelling the story using pictures and have had a go at labelling their pictures. We have also introduced the children to table jobs which we use each week in our English learning and always links to the weekly story. We were very impressed with Zaynab who completed a table job independently. She labelled the pictures from the story by looking at the intial sound in the words.
In our maths learning the children have been learning about the numbers 1,2 and 3. The children have enjoyed writing the numerals and have been listening to how many times Miss Bradshaw and Miss Seddon play the different instruments and showing that number on their number fans.

This week in class 3 we have done some super learning and really impressed our teachers. In literacy we have been reading the book 'The gingerbread man' and taking part in lots of exciting activities, working hard to write some super sentences. See if you can re-tell the story to family and friends at home.
In our maths learning we have been carrying on looking at number and place value. We have worked really hard to practice our number formation and started working on partitioning numbers into tens and ones using dienes.
In the afternoons during our topic sessions, we have started learning lots of new things about our class topic of 'our local area.' We were so impressed with some of the fantastic 3D crafts that children brought in for their home learning, and the super facts that they could tell us about Oldham town. We cant wait to carry on finding out even more about our local area and where we live!
Class 3 have had a fantastic week this week, and we can't wait to carry on with even more super learning next week! Make sure you keep practicing your phonics Phase 2 and Phase 3 sounds at home as well as reading your books as much as possible!

This week we ended out topic all about INDIA with a carousel of activities, to give the children a taste of what life in India would be like. We tried Indian food, designed Indian clothing, created Indian patterns, listen to Indian music and even had a go at yoga. The children were very enthusiastic and enjoyed each of the activities.
Ask your children what they have found out about India during our first topic in Year 2.

We are extremely glad to be back in class and have really enjoyed the work on the book 'The boy, the bear, the baron, the bard.' We have been creating our own version of the story using our own imagination. We will be sharing some of our work in the gallery on Friday.
We have been learning all about the Tudors in our topic lessons and found out some interesting facts about Henry VIII. Did you know that Henry VIII condemned bullfinches for their ‘criminal attacks’ on fruit trees, and an Act of Parliament declared that one penny would be paid for every bullfinch trapped and killed.

Year 6 have had a great few weeks learning all about World War II. Class 13 and Class 14 enjoyed a World War II day. We got to look at artefacts and we had to guess what they were, we made some great guesses. We also experienced life as an evacuee, we thought how we would feel in this situation, even experiencing an air raid. We had great fun using a Morse code machine! In Topic, we have since looked at: the countries involved in the war, the leaders of these countries, important dates in World War II and have started to create our own collage books (that look like evacuee labels).
''Creating our own secret messages was so much fun! No one could guess mine.'' Eesa
''My favourite part of the day was when we had to go under the tables due to an air raid.'' Salahur
