Date: 22nd Jun 2023 @ 12:26pm
Today we walked in the BEAUTIFUL sunshine to Toad Lane to find out all about how the co-operative movement began in our town of Rochdale. We dressed up, played games, found out loads of information and even learnt about how they used to put awful things in shop food to bulk it out so they didn't have to give people as much! Horrible! We were very glad to learn Rochdale was the unique town to decide enough was enough and created substatially better living conditions based on equality, education and mutual respect! There are co-operatives all over the world now and it started with our little town.

KS2 Christmas Production, by Miss Hulse
Date: 12th Dec 2022 @ 3:43pm
KS2 performed a fantastic production of Silent Night.
Silent Night is a delightful children's nativity set in 19th century Austria, where the villagers of Oberndorf are busy preparing for their Christmas Eve pageant. Amidst the hustle and bustle, they realise that naughty mice have destroyed the church organ. How will they organise music for their special celebrations at such short notice?
Discover through this beautifully adapted story how a poem written by a parish priest resulted in the well-loved carol Silent Night.
