Year 5 children attended a fantastic ‘Orchestra Day’ hosted by The Manchester Grammar School Music Department, where they joined MGS students, local primary schools, and professional musicians for a day of inspiring music-making —forming one large, collaborative orchestra!

We have been learning about 'Windrush' from Rev. Caroline Wickens from Whalley Range Methodist Church. We helped make the buntings to decorate the church for their upcoming Windrush celebrations to understand our school value 'Unity' and helping others in the community.

For our careers assembly, we were visited by Dr Sam Campbell from Alexandra Practice, who spoke to the children about his job as a family GP, his education and the importance of keeping healthy.

Our children designed posters for our local Whalley Range Medical Centre to share what we have been learning about wellbeing and staying healthy. We shared our 'Healthy Eating and Balanced Diet' Assembly with the staff. MCR Healthy Schools #HealthyEating #WhalleyRange #balanceddiet
