A walk in the park for Sharks Sharks went to Nowton Park, demonstrating excellent listening skills and safe walking behaviour throughout the journey. Upon arrival, they visited the café, where they displayed positive social skills by waiting patiently, using polite manners, and speaking kindly to one another. Each child enjoyed choosing an item to purchase before sitting together to eat and chat appropriately Afterwards, the children played with bats and balls, taking turns, sharing equipment, and encouraging one another during their games. Once everyone had finished playing, the group walked back to class, continuing to demonstrate positive behaviour, good listening skills, and respectful social interactions throughout the return journey

Greenfingers (Bury in Bloom) Judging Day We were delighted to welcome the Judges Mags and Jasmine today to see our beautiful garden. Bradley, Julie and Charlie from Bury Town Council came along to support the school. The judges took time to see our garden and meet some of our students who had dressed in yellow and had Winnie the Pooh toys to support the theme of the competition which is 100 years of Winnie the Pooh. We are extremely grateful to Bradley, Julie and Charlie for all the support, ideas and enthusiasm they bring to Gardening Club each week. Students have been working hard, planting seeds for the sunflowers, tending the hanging baskets and growing tomatoes, spring onions, green beans and rhubarb. Classes are making rhubarb crumble during the last week of term and Bradley Julie and Charlie are joining us to enjoy the results
