  • Tuesday 17th April - Northern Ballet Company are spending time in school to deliver a workshop for Reception and Year 1 children.

    Published 16/04/18

    Ugly Duckling is lonely and fed-up, ignored by those around her who think she is too ugly to fit in. She tries to make friends with fellow ducklings as well as with frogs, cats and even a fox, but realising she is not like any of these animals, she is left sad and alone. Duckling, on her journey, realises she can overcome her troubles and that she is beautiful all along.

    Retelling the famous Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, Ugly Duckling is the perfect opportunity for young children to enjoy live ballet, music and theatre.

    As seen on CBeebies, Northern Ballet’s sell-out productions for children are not to be missed.

    This child-friendly performance lasts approximately 40 minutes.

    Careers Week. 5th—9th March is Careers Week. We are very excited as we have lots of visitors visiting our Academy during the week. On Monday 5th we will be hosting a ‘What’s my Line’ Assembly— volunteers will answer questions from our children who will try to guess their profession. The volunteers will only answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’. After ten minutes the volunteers will leave the assembly and return in their uniform or will bring in the tools of the trade. On 9th March we are hosting a Careers fair and inviting four other Greenwood Dale Academies to join us. We will have 10 professions attending and they will be giving lots of information to our children about their profession. Our aim is to ensure our children begin to have some insight in to what careers are available to them once they leave school.

  • World Book Day - Thursday 1st March

    Published 20/02/18

     

    Share a Story campaign has been launched for 2018.  The campaign has been created to encourage parents and carers to spend just 10 minutes a day reading and sharing stories with their children. Similarly, children are encouraged to read with their parents - and older siblings are invited to read with younger brothers and sisters, too.  It's a fantastically fun, nationwide event. Parents have the opportunity to share what they are reading using #ShareAStory.  A great idea is to share a 'shelfie' take a photograph of your bookcase or book shelf or pile of reading books at home and share with your teacher via the academy website.

    We will be giving out £1 book tokens on the day, we will also be using the day to dress up as a favourite character or book. 

    Children have the opportunity to dress up for World Book Day.

    Each class has a special theme

    Nursery – dress up as a nursery rhyme or a traditional tale character

    Reception – the choice of any character from a favourite book

    Year 1 and Year 2– the theme for the term is ‘Animals’ please dress up as an animal or an animal character from a story, for example Paddington Bear, The Gruffalo, Mr Fox, The Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs

    Year 3 – The BFG

    Year 4 – Knights and Princesses

    Year 5 – Egyptians

    Year 6 – World War II

    In the meantime, please keep up all the valuable reading at home and visit worldbookday.com for fun things to do with reading.
