Heaton News - WB 6th March

Date: 10th Mar 2023 @ 8:48am

Firstly, a BIG thankyou to all families affected by the closure of the Heaton site on Monday. We appreciate your understanding and support with this matter.

Fortunately the Cheadle site were not affected so they were treated to the visit of from NK Theratre Arts group who presented a workshop on the 'Horrible history' theme. This marked the start of our reading week. 

Throughout the week students have been taking part in a wide range of reading activities. This years theme was 'Everyone is a reader'. The focus has been on promoting the fact that reading takes many different forms - it can be reading a book, using signs and symbols and recognising cues out in the community. All classes worked on presentation from the book 'The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse'. The end result was shown in today's assembly. On Thursday the drama room was turned into a mini library where students could loan out a book and take part in a range of different reading activities. A big thankyou to all staff who have made this week a huge success.

Check out the highlight video which was used in our assembly!
