‘People who help us’ Poplar 1
Poplar 1 have loved delving into their new PSHE topic of “People Who Help Us.”
To engage the students’ imagination and reinforce their understanding of various skills, a vintage suitcase filled with roleplay clothes was introduced. Each item of clothing represented a different profession, allowing the children to dress up and immerse themselves in different roles with some linking to professions found within school
Elm 1 take a dip!
The pupils in Elm have been going to swimming lessons at our local baths since April. They have been focusing on submerging their faces and more recently, submerging their whole body and swimming through a hoop.
This session also allows the pupils to work on and develop some skills from their Responsive Learning Targets including dressing and undressing with minimal support.
Great job Elm 1!

Sing and Sign Choir performing at ATHOS
We were delighted to be invited to perform alongside other schools within Tyldesley and Atherton at the ATHOS Singing Festival organised by Mrs Tomlinson from St Stephen’s C of E Primary School. Each school chose to perform two songs, we were blown away by the variety of talent on display. Our Sing and Sign Choir elected to perform two choir favourites ‘Sing a Rainbow’ and ‘In my Paintbox’ which they performed beautifully to a whopping crowd of at least five schools. John our Head Boy described the entire event as “Awesome!”.
Choir on this occasion was led by Jaydan and supported by Mark, Gill, Amy, Kathryn and Louise.
