Y5 had a great day yesterday celebrating World Book Day!

It wasn’t just the children who dressed up yesterday. So did our wonderful staff.

Tuesday marked the end of the spring WOW Walk of Fame Challenge and... DRUMROLL ... look at which school has topped the local leader-board! Congratulations and well-done to everyone who has started the day with physical activity. #WOWWalkOfFame #WalkToSchool Living Streets

The league final was a fantastic game played with skill and commitment by both teams. Unfortunately we came off second best - but are immensely proud of our boys. Congratulations to ChristChurchWalshaw and thank you for being such sporting victors. #TeamOldHall

As well as a football final, on Thursday a team of Year 5/6 children took part in a basketball competition at Philips High School. They finished a very creditable third place in their group. Well done! #TeamOldHall BurySG Philips High School

How wonderful to see so many girls enjoying the opportunity to play football! Some of our Y6 girls have been coaching the Y2s and refereeing a mini-match, whilst others have used the playground to organise their own games. #LetGirlsPlay #LetGirlsPlayGM BurySG

Earlier today, six of our Year 2 girls took part in the Bee Proud Football Festival organised by BurySG Our girls had a great time, embrace the sporting values and smiled throughout! Thank you to the students from @TFCollege_ #TeamOldHall #ohpspe #LetGirlsPlay

As part of British Science Week, the children have designed posters with the theme ‘connections’ we have had lots of wonderful entries and all children have received a certificate. These five have been entered into the national competition.

What a wonderful response to our science poster competition. We have created a display using just some of the designs from across the whole school. These are displayed in our KS2 area.

A fabulous afternoon for our Year 2/3 children, some of whom were representing the school for the first time. Thank you to BurySG for organising, Sedgley Park Tigers for hosting and TCOR for leading. Congratulations to Guardian Angels’ RCPS Bury on their victory!

What a fantastic achievement two of our y5 boys achieved outside of school last week! They have both achieved their bronze award in swimming. 1100m in under 25 minutes using 4 different strokes. A fantastic accomplishment! Well done boys!
