Today, as part of our world of work week, UKS2 were visited by West End Schools who talked to them all about the theatre industry and also worked with them to produce a short musical version of The Lion King, which they performed to each other. They worked incredibly hard and threw themselves into it – as you can see from the photos below. Well done everyone who took part.
The equipment which we were able to purchase from funds raised by our Sponsored Pancake Flip has arrived!
Our final sponsor money total was £3,199.00!
The School Council have been very busy completing a survey to find out what equipment our children would like and they were responsible for placing the substantial order with our school suppliers. Equipment was purchased for ALL playgrounds in school and included: basketball hoops; football nets; a rebounder net; playground games such as Connect 4, Chess, Twister and Jenga; a nature hunt set; badminton sets, bats and balls, balance boards, skipping ropes, frisbees, ribbon wands, all types of balls, stilts, hula hoops, beanbag boccia sets, scoops, skittles and croquet.
Thank you once again to all our families for supporting our sponsored event. Here are some photographs of the children enjoying our new equipment
Our Year 1 and Year 2 children entered into a football competition yesterday. Overall they came second. The children showed showed perseverance, courage, friendship and respect. They all played really well with excellent teamwork.
Year 1 and 2 attended a hockey competition, playing against 6 other schools from the local area. The children played really well and were great team players. They persevered and showed respect to each other and other teams.
Those year 6 pupils who have not gone to Lledr Hall went rock climbing today at Manchester Climbing Centre.
They had a fantastic time using the top ropes, auto belay and the bouldering walls.
As you can see it looks like we have a Spider-Man or two in year 6.
On Friday, the children took part in some sporting activities to raise money for Sports Relief 2018.
Each class had a chance to try archery, fencing and even tried their football skills in a penalty shoot-out against their teacher!
The children in nursery have taken part in a variety of sports events in the build up to Sport Relief. This morning, lots of parents joined us in nursery for our ‘Sport Relief’ Stay and Play session where the children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a range of different sports, games and activities, including: wet sponge throwing, hook a duck, hula hooping, bat and ball games, dancing, tug of war and many more! Thank you to all of the parents who joined us in class this morning! 🙂
This week, as part of our Sport Relief events, the children in Nursery and Reception took part in some coaching sessions, led by a football coach from the Manchester United Foundation. The sessions consisted of a variety of games and activities, including ‘the bean game’, ‘pirate ships’ and ‘racing cars’. The children then had the opportunity to practise their football skills. Here are some photos from the day. 🙂
Last night, a team of 8 children from Year 3 and 4 played in a Basketball Competition at The Deans Primary School. There were 8 teams at the competition and everybody played fantastically. The team got off to a positive start, winning their first games. After such an amazing performance, we were then placed into the semi-final of the competition. With a marvellous win of 6-1, we were guaranteed a place in the final. The final was very tense, with both teams drawing 2-2 at the final whistle. It was the next team to score to win the tournament. Not long after the final whistle, Todor had the ball and shot for goal, he scored an outstanding winning goal. Grosvenor Road won the tournament! The team played amazingly, very professional and excellent teamwork. Miss Sutton and Miss Norris were very proud and were certain the children in the competition were a great representation for Grosvenor Road. As well as this amazing victory, Todor won man of the tournament, winning himself a trophy. The school have won a trophy (which will be displayed in the trophy cabinet) and each child got a medal and certificate. Well done team Grosvenor, excellent work!
