Our reception playground is now pretty much complete! The children have been trying out the various activities and features of their new playground today in the early Spring sunshine!
Have a look at the photographs below.

Next to receive attention is the nursery playground. Work starts here next week!

The work taking place in our reception playground is really coming together, have a look at the photographs below!

We are all so proud of our displays and are grateful for all the hard work put into them by our pupils and staff!

 Here we go again.  Let us try and get it all going.

Last week we had a visit from the 'History Man' This time he taught us all about World War 2, how the war started and how the countries involved became involved.

He brought numerous props from during the war including numerous Military hats etc. from different countries.
He also brought a genuine Air Raid Siren, it was very loud!
We also got to see a genuine old British Army rifle, a Lee Enfield .303 nearly 100 years old! This rifle saw service in both World Wars 1 and 2.

We talked about how radar was used to detect German Submarines in the Atlantic.
Even Miss Marshall got involved modelling a Serviceman's steel helmet

Film club starts for anybody in Year 4, 5 or 6.  If you haven't already, ask Mr McGrath for a permission letter.

 The plans are in for the new outdoor areas by reception and nursery.  We can't wait until the work starts, they look amazing!

Even though the snow caused problems for people travelling around Oldham on Monday and many local schools were closed St Thomas's managed to open as normal. This was made possible due to the hard work of the Site Manager who cleared the snow from the paths and made the site safe for walking.
Mr McGrath and his Year 6 pupils took advantage of the weather to build an igloo! Miss McIntyre and her Year 3 class also spent some time outside and made a snowman!
