This afternoon the pupils were treated to a musical demonstration by local band, Thieves Asylum.  They learnt about the different instruments and what inspired the band members to begin playing.

We were all really impressed and we now have a school of budding rock stars!

Today the children had a very special visitor in assembly.  Professor Poopenstinken came to tell them all about the Magical Maths club that starts in school after half term.

We were all amazed at how she managed to work out 99 squared in her head and she even did some maths mind reading.

Lots of children are going to be signing up to join the club.  Details should be in your child’s bag today.

Visit www.magicalmathsclub.com for more details.

Well done to the 18 representatives of year 5 who went to Moorside today to compete in a Boccia tournament.

Boccia is an Paralympic sport closely linked to bowls played in teams of 3. The children had a great time and did amazingly well; managing to have teams come first, second and third. 

Well done Grace, Harry and Cole who won first prize.

A big well done to all the children in Year 5 who were on BBC Radio Stoke this morning.

Pete Morgan, who presents the morning show, has a section called ‘Educate Pete’.

Children from primary schools in Staffordshire and Cheshire pose questions they have created to Pete.

He then has to answer them without any assistance.

Read our Year 5 blog post to listen to the questions and find out how we got on.
