• Year 6 Visit to Poynton High School

  Wed 29 Mar 2023 Sarah Giles

  As part of their transition to Year 7, our Year 6 pupils went to Poynton High School for a familiarisation and taster morning. The report below is written by several member of Year 6.

   

  As we walked through the Reception area, we looked at the four house teams: Davenport, Legh, Newton and Vernon. Mrs Kennedy was there to greet us and took us to the library where we sat down to ask questions and talk with her. Then we were given mock timetables and a map of the school to help us get used to the layout. After that, we were challenged to find Room 23 using the maps. We sat down with partners to learn about the history of the house teams.

   

  Later on, we went to the canteen and bought a snack. We had the choice of sausage rolls, crumpets, pancakes or croissants. Then we had to find our way to Room 12 where we had a second lesson about co-ordinates. Finally, we got to question some Year 7 pupils about their experience of Poynton High School so far. 

  

• Year 2 Visit to Delamere Forest

  Wed 29 Mar 2023

  Year 2 went on a trip to Delamere Forest as part of their 'Explorers' topic.  They had a great time den building in the forest and went on a bug hunt in the afternoon.  The weather was surprisingly kind so they were able to spend the whole day outside and even had their lunch in the sunshine!

  On Monday 6th March some staff and children attended the 2023 Cheshire LTA Awards as our lovely tennis coach, Mike Atherfold had nominated us for ‘School of the Year’. We were praised for providing tennis coaching to all year groups and promoting tennis as a sport through Mike and Josh's morning tennis clubs. We are the 2023 ‘runners up’. and we had lots to celebrate that evening because our very own Lucy (Y5) is a Cheshire Champion, Mike won Competition of the Year and was runner up for Coach of the Year and Joey (Y4) & Maggie (Y6) had both their Mum and Grandma collect awards as well!

  

• Year 4 Roman Trip to Chester

  Fri 10 Mar 2023 Sarah Giles

  On Wednesday 8th March, we went on a very exciting trip to Chester in connection with our topic on the Romans. We visited the Grosvenor museum where we learnt all about the Roman invasion of Britain and what they left behind. The museum had plenty of artefacts for the children to handle and investigate, including pottery, coins and mosaics and the chance to imagine themselves as archaeologists examining the layers of a local dig. They even enjoyed a bit of dressing up!

   

  In the afternoon, the children experienced a taste of what it was like to be in the Roman army themselves. With their own shields, they were marched through the streets by a real Roman soldier! We stopped off at the remains of an amphitheatre. It was here that the children learnt how to organise themselves into different battle formations. They learnt how to use them to attack the enemy and even tested them out on the teachers!

   

  Everybody had a great time, despite the cold weather. Well done to all the children in Year 4 for their enthusiasm throughout the day.

• World Book Day

  World Book Day

   

  We had a brilliant World Book Day. The children looked fabulous, coming  dressed as a whole host of different characters. The staff joined in the fun as well becoming characters from Roald Dahl books. The children had great fun throughout the day talking about books, making books and there was even some Harry Potter themed Yoga!

   

  A huge thank you to all our parents and carers for supporting the children with their costumes for this special day.

  

• Year 3 Trip to Macclesfield Silk Museum.

  Fri 03 Mar 2023 Sarah Giles

  On Tuesday, Year 3 took a very exciting trip to the Silk Museum in Macclesfield as an introduction to their new topic - Ancient Egyptians. They learnt a lot of information, including details about mummification, Marianne Brocklehurst and the Egyptian Gods! They enjoyed seeing many of the items Marianne collected on her travels as well as making their own Anubis masks. Unpacking suitcases filled with replica artefacts provided great interest. The children were impeccably behaved and participated brilliantly. I'm sure they enjoyed sharing many fascinating facts with their families after the day.
