As usual, a lovely service at Walmersley Church, supported by lots of family members. Excellent readings from year 6 and wonderful singing by reception and year 4 classes, KS1 and KS2 choirs and the 2 whole school hymns. 

This week, children in Year 5 linked with Year 5 children at Chesham Primary School.  Both schools went to Bury Art Gallery to carry out some joint activities. Everyone had a great time and the two classes cannot wait to meet up again. 

On their way back to school, the class went to see The Knife Angel in Bury. It was a great opportunity as the Angel will not be in Bury for much longer. 

Please get creative and dress up as a book character. I can't wait to see what a variety of costumes we will see!

A big thank you to Mr Connor for organising our trip for the Key Stage 2 choir to sing at Young Voices 2024

We had lots of emails and messages from parents saying what a wonderful experience it was for both children and parents. 

Parents loved Mrs Jenkinson's air guitar playing! 

Thank you to Mr Connor, Mrs Jenkinson and Miss Heys for giving up their evening to support the children. 

Well done to everyone in EYFS and KS1 for your great acting and singing in your nativity plays. Your family members were all so proud of you! 

Thank you to everyone who supported our Christmas Fair last Friday, it was a great success! I hope you all had a good time and enjoyed the turkey sandwiches.

The Children in EYFS had a special visitor today, they were visited by 3 police people and their police car! children were told all about what it is like to work in the police and they got to sit in the car. The sirens were very loud! 

This year was my 10th Christmas Tree Assembly since I came to Springside and it was just as special as my first one!

As usual we counted down from 10 and the oldest and the youngest child in school switched the lights on. 

Our tree looks wonderful!

Stay safe over the summer everyone and see you in September!

There wasn't a dry eye in the house during our Leavers' Assembly in Walmersley Church! This was a time to reflect on the years gone by, think about the future and thank those who have helped us along the way. Your parents and carers really appreciated the individual thank-you letters you wrote for them. 

Thank-you to the KS1 and KS2 choirs for supporting this event as well.

Our first Eid Celebration was a great success this week. We learnt about the celebration then children who celebrate Eid taught us some traditional games which they play with their family on their special day. We also got to see some of the children's special Eid clothes.

Well done to all the children in school who entered the Times Tables Rockstars and Numbots Championship. The photograph shows the winners from each class and the overall winners. You are all superstars! 

The Imam came to visit us this week. He presented a whole school assembly and then worked in Early Years, Year 3 and Year 5. We learnt a lot and it was great to be taught by an expert.

Children in EYFS had a great morning on Tuesday this week when the Creepy Crawly Roadshow came to visit. Children saw a great range of Creepy Crawlies and there was even tears from one child because he didn't want to leave the Python behind! 

Our Easter Service in church was wonderful again this year. The readings by Year 6 were loud and clear and the singing by Reception, year 3, KS1 choir and KS2 choir were lovely. The 2 whole school hymns also sounded wonderful. The feedback from the parents was all positive and I am very proud of you all. 

What a great World Book Day we had this year! We all had a fun time dressing up and writing stories about the characters we had dressed as. I really enjoyed being a Cowgirl for the day!

On Thursday, we entered the Prstolee Athletics Tournament at Waterloo School in Ashton. All our school competitors were great and represented our school well. We were awarded additional points for our great behaviour and sporting attitude! 

On Friday our football team played a match against Greenmount School . It was raining really hard and everyone was wet through at the end but it was a lot of fun! We will be playing another match next week. 

Welcome back everyone! It was great to see all your smiling faces this morning!

A beautiful assembly everyone! Year 6 readings were clear and easy to hear, KS1 and KS2 choir singing was lovely and the whole school song was fantastic. Your parents said it was the best Leavers' Assembly ever!

Well done to the year 2 football team. This is the first time we have entered a KS1 team into a tournament, you all did very well for your first time. Better luck next year.
