During Wednesday afternoon, we held an inter school science display in which multiple schools from across Heywood came to demonstrate a science experiment they had been learning or studying. Harwood Park had great fun demonstrating their knowledge of producing CO2. And other schools enjoyed learning about our experiment. Likewise, we Read more…
To finish off the half term, and our rounders topic, we had an inter year group rounders game! It was a super close game with some excellent catches and amazing bowls, but with a final score of 10:9 the winner was…. CLASS 10! we had a lot of fun and Read more…
As part of our ‘being my best’ topic, our last lesson was dealing with different medical emergencies. We learnt how to handle burns, choking, bumps, cuts, and even helping people who are unresponsive but breathing. we went and practised by putting each other in the recovery position.
