Making a difference with Morrisons 
A group of Gorse Hall children were invited to Morrisons Dukinfield to launch the “Make Good Things Happen” support campaign in the local community. It was lovely to meet Alison and Becky who made us feel very welcome. The Mayor of Tameside, Councillor Janet Cooper, said that she had enjoyed listening to our singing ‘I am the Earth’ and our poetry reading about Caring for our World. Well done to the children – we are very proud of you all!
Jodie from Yellow Jigsaw Communications visited our Stitch in Time Workshop to film for Tameside’s intergenerational make a difference video. The children really enjoyed this unique experience and we are looking forward to seeing the final production. 
Children’s Mental Health Week- 6WR’s mental health support hot air balloons 
Safer Internet Day in 4OH- the children had a very mature discussion about online safety. Key areas that came up were online bullying, how to solve arguments when gaming, the impact of our online footprint, hackers/ insecure passwords, keeping personal details private, stranger danger, the impact of screen time and the importance of adult supervision. We created a gaming guide offering advice to others and made online safety fortune tellers
Children in Reception have been learning all about stranger danger! We have talked about this in Little Red Riding Hood-how the wolf is a stranger. The children have loved making wanted posters for this cheeky wolf and putting them up around school! He’s been spotted around school looking very mischievous. Keep your eyes out! 
Enjoying Maths and raising money for the NSPCC has been great today. We thank you all for your support as always
It was great to watch our football team in their cup game against St Mary’s Dukinfield. Our team were excellent in their performance- respectful, encouraging of each other and determined to win… And they did 6-3! We’re very proud of you all- well done!

Stitch in Time Workshop XXXX Cross stitch is a very decorated form of embroidery so we used this design to embellish our apron pockets which we made from upcycled gingham tablecloths. XXXX We are very proud of our handiwork! XXXX
