Beyond The Classroom
Vote for Me!
At our school, we are committed to embedding British values in our pupils' experiences. Each year, every child in Year 4 has the opportunity to run for class councillor as part of our democratic school council. This process is designed to engage students in the principles of democracy and teamwork. Previous class councillors assist in organising the event, ensuring that all children are informed about where to go and what to do. Candidates must prepare a manifesto and present it to their class, outlining why they deserve their peers’ votes. Following the initial voting, the top four candidates proceed to a formal ballot, which reflects adult polling procedures. The declaration of the new class councillors is a thrilling event for all Year 4 students, fostering a sense of responsibility and community spirit.
Year 4 Swimming
This term, our Year 4 children embarked on an enriching swimming journey at Atherton Leisure Centre. This invaluable experience not only served to enhance their aquatic skills but also instilled a vital life skill. Each child successfully overcame their fears, resulting in a remarkable boost in their water confidence and an eagerness to embrace new challenges.
Cricket Workshop
This term, Year 4 participated in an engaging interactive cricket workshop. The experience began with an informative assembly, illuminating the history and origins of cricket. Following this, the children explored various positions within the game and honed essential skills under the guidance of a specialist coach. The workshop culminated in a thrilling match, allowing the children to apply their newfound abilities. It proved to be a highly enjoyable and enriching experience for all involved.
