Living Eggs came to school and gave us an incubator and 10 eggs to watch hatch. After 3 days we noticed that some of the eggs had a crack in them. We carefully watched the eggs and were very excited when they started to hatch. Once all 10 chicks had hatched Mrs Heywood moved them to the brooder box where we were able to observe and hold them.

We are learning about important people from the past and how they changed history. We have studied local woman Annie Kenney. She was a leading person in the suffragette movement - trying (and eventually succeeding) in gaining votes for women.
We walked to the Annie Kenney statue in Oldham town centre. We marched around the statue, just like she would have done on her campaign marches. Then we held up our placards and marched through Oldham shouting our messages! For example "Everyone is equal", "Votes for women", "Be kind". We had a fantastic time!

Zog the dragon visited Reception. He made a big mess in the classroom and we used the iPads to take photos and videos of the crime scene. He lost his eggs and left us clues. We became detectives and followed the clues to find Zog’s eggs. We found them outside in the house.
We wrote Zog a letter to tell him that we had found his eggs. We then decided to leave Zog’s eggs outside and we built a den to protect them.
Zog came back for the eggs and sent us a photo of the baby dragons that had hatched.
