• Year 6 Crucial Crew

  Wed 26 Apr 2023 Miss McGowan

  Year 6 were invited to attend Crucial Crew at Rochdale Football Club. Here they learnt all about keeping themselves safe in the community - something which will be even more important as they start to become more independent with their transition to secondary school.

  They heard from crucial services such as the British Transport Police, nurses, online safety experts, the fire brigade, the police and nutrition experts and took part in workshops to consolidate their learning. 

  

• Cricket Tournament

  Mon 24 Apr 2023

  This week, members of our Year 5 and 6 classes represented our school in an inter-school cricket tournament at Castle Leisure. We were extremely impressed with how well the children worked as a team and also how they encouraged children from other schools during the event. The children are growing in confidence and did our school proud - well done!

  

• Ben Andrews - Author Visit

  Wed 15 Feb 2023 Miss McGowan

  Today, we were extremely lucky to have had a visit from local author, Ben Andrews.  Ben is visually impaired and wrote his book, 'Nancy and Candy Street' to encourage his young readers to think about helping to make their roads safer for everyone to navigate.

   

  We loved hearing Ben reading his book in assembly and he was kind enough to spend some time chatting with us and signing copies of his book in the library over lunch time. He then delivered a workshop in Year 4 which they loved.

   

  Thank you, Ben!

  Before the half term, the children were thrilled to attend the two neon discos that were hosted at St Andrews. There was dancing, musical games, face paints and lots of food! Thank you to everybody who attended the discos and to the FOSTAS and parents for organising and running the discos to ensure that they ran smoothly. The children had a brilliant time and both nights were a success

  Fri 04 Nov 2022 Miss McGowan

  Today, Year 6 took a trip to the local Bury Fusilier Museum where they were greeted at the door by a WW1 soldier, Tom. They learnt all about what it took to be a soldier back then and were able to try out and handle all of the equipment - most of which were genuine artefacts from the time! A good time was had by all!
