Today we celebrated Number Day. Johnny Ball (blast from the past) showed us some great number tricks and then Mike Askell shared an amazing investigation with subtracting numbers.

We had great fun continuing the investigation and seeing what happened with negative numbers, different shapes, fractions and square and prime numbers.

Cracking the code followed and deforestation fun…..

We loved number day! ❤️

The whole school had a wonderful visit to The Regent Theatre in Stoke today to watch the pantomime- Peter Pan!

Onyx class were impeccably behaved and we especially loved Mrs H having a secret kiss from Jonny Wilkes and Sammy getting to go up on stage!

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! 🧑‍🎄🎅

Even the minus temperatures couldn’t stop us having fun raising money for St Lukes Hospice.

The Elf Run was a HUGE hit once again and the Sports Captains did a wonderful job warming everyone up beforehand. Thank you to everyone who sponsored the children ❤️

The whole school had a wonderful, festive time today at our Christmas Dinner! Onyx class even practised the traditional way of pulling their crackers! 🙈😂

Thank you to all who also helped us to raise money for Save the Children by wearing Christmas Jumpers. We think they should be the new school uniform!

Ho, ho, ho everyone!

Onyx Class had a great time this afternoon in Science looking at how the heart works. They got their gloves on and dissected a pigs heart looking out for the main arteries and veins and exposing the 4 chambers.

As part of our Geography unit on Trade and Economics, the Year 6s had fun playing the trading game!

On Thursday, Year 6 showcased their amazing Taekwondo skills for their parents.

Over the past term, the pupils have taken part in sessions run by the wonderful Leslie Wright from Tae Kwon-Do and have not only learnt the physical, self-defence skills but have also improved their fitness and developed their characters. The morals based upon courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit are the five tenets which are displayed in each lesson. These in-still self-confidence, a desire to work hard to achieve goals, increase fitness, and improve co-ordination and also teach the children important life skills.

Following the display, the pupils were presented with their grading certificates from the week before and a special award was given to Sofiya Hare for being an all round superstar throughout all the sessions! ⭐️

Well done Onyx Class- you make Mrs Booth & Mrs Kyle VERY proud! Remember these morals at High School! 😉

This afternoon, Year 6 took part in Crucial Crewe 2022. We learnt all about alcohol and the effects alcohol has on the body.

Next, we experimented with SP Network, learning all about electricity and electrical safety. We even found out that it can travel through our bodies! Wow!

The NHS then taught us all about well-being (which linked in beautifully with World Mental Health Day) and the Dogs Trust reminded us to never disturb dogs who are sleeping, eating or alone. 🐶

GIST taught us all about vehicle safety, including where blind spots are on large trucks and their stopping distances.

Finally, Cheshire Police shared some fantastic E-Safety tips with us, especially that Snapchat has a minimum age of 13 years due to the content that is shared and also to never send pictures of our bodies to anyone.

A huge thank you to Crucial Crewe for a fabulous afternoon and hopefully this learning will keep us all safe in the future!
