Community Links and Information

A big thank you to PCSO Lee who helped us pick our winners for the Egg designing competition and bonnet parade on Wednesday 3rd April 2019. Your help and presence in our school is appreciated. 

LINKING PROJECT 2019

For the second year running, class 4 have been taking part in the ‘Linking project.’ This is where we participate in activities with a school to provide meaningful interaction between children from diverse communities.

This is to help:

• Promote attitudinal change at a personal level.
• Increase awareness and knowledge of different cultural and social perspectives.
• Increase awareness and knowledge of commonality of interests and life-experience.
• Challenge young people to reflect on preconceptions and stereotypical views.
• Empower young people to take responsibility for their contribution to community cohesion.
•  

We have currently visited each other’s schools, completing a wide range of activities. We have taken part in an interfaith workshop, looking at the similarities and difference between the Muslim and Catholic faith.

We have also attended a session at Gallery Oldham, where we learnt about the local history of Oldham as well as taking part in a drama activity on the cotton mills. The children thoroughly loved this!  

We have built up a great relationship with our linking school; we hope to finish this year with a trip to Castleshaw completing team building activities.
