CHRISTMAS BAUBLE COMPETITION

Leave a comment

Thank you to our PTA who organised a Christmas Bauble Competition for all children in school. There were many entries in every class with all our children showing lots of creativity!

Mrs Dunkley (Chair of our Local Governing Board) and Mr Pridden were given the extremely difficult task of choosing one winner in each class, then an overall winner!

Here are our class winners; their 22 baubles are now on our Christmas tree in the main hall and they all received a prize.

CONGRATULATIONS to our overall winner – Macy T in Year 1!

NEW BOOKS FOR OUR LIBRARY!

Leave a comment

On Friday 17th May, some of our children were given a special job to do – help unpack our new library books with Mrs Johns and Mrs Newall.  Our school successfully applied to the National Literacy Trust to be part of their ‘Libraries for Primaries’ programme. 

As part of this programme, we received 500 new books.  The children loved looking through the new books and they all  worked really hard unpacking and sorting the books ready to be put on the shelves.  We hope our new books will be well-loved by all the children and encourage them to become life-long readers. 

Please see our Grosvenor Road Reading Journey on the School Website, if you would like more information on the Reading Curriculum at Grosvenor Road.

EASTER FAMILY BINGO!

Leave a comment

This year’s TWO Easter Family Bingo Evenings were held on Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th March. ALL tickets for the event were sold out and a great time was had by all.

Thank you to all those who donated an egg for the Bingo Evenings – a proportion of these has also been given to SALFORD FOODBANK for children who may not receive any eggs this Easter time.

We would like to thank all parents and children who attended and all the School Staff and PTA Members who gave up their time to make the evenings possible.

SPONSORED PANCAKE FLIP 2024

Leave a comment

On Friday 9th and Monday 12th February, all children in school took part in our sponsored pancake flip – trying to flip as many (wooden) pancakes as possible in two minutes!

As you can see from the photographs below, the children had a great time taking part. THANK YOU for your very generous sponsorship and MANY THANKS to all the adults who came into school to help with counting flips – we really could not run the sessions without your support.

YEAR 5 DRAGON’S DEN SUCCESS!

Leave a comment

This term, all our Year 5 children have taken part in a Dragon’s Den Project organised by Co-op Academy Swinton and the Manchester United Foundation. They were asked to create a new product and to present this to four judges.

After a nail-biting school competition judged by Mr Pridden and Mrs Peacock, two teams were put forward to represent our school at the Final, up against four other Swinton primary schools – seven teams in total.

On Thursday 29th February, both teams made their pitch to the four ‘dragons’ at the Final – they were excellent and judged to be in the top three overall. We are very pleased to report that our Bombastic Boots Team were the overall winners!

Well done to all our children – here are photographs from the finals at Co-op Academy Swinton, plus a montage video created by Manchester United Foundation –
