KS1 have started our Autumn 2 term by blasting off into learning! We have embarked on an exciting Space topic, starting with the incredible journey of Neil Armstrong and the delightful story "Whatever Next" by Jill Murphy. 📚
The students got creative by writing lists of items they would take to the moon and even answered questions in the voice of Baby Bear! They created their own moon using tinfoil and then acted out Neil Armstrong's first step using his iconic words 'That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.' What an amazing start to our topic.

Meet our brand new FPHS #rochdale Creative Health Advocates (a.k.a. Creative Health Champions)! Say hello to our five Year 8s who will receive full training this Friday alongside other schools as part of our larger commitment to developing a wider Rochdale Creative Health Advocates community across the borough and who will join us on a two year journey of promoting wellbeing and cultural engagement within FPHS and beyond.
Each student wrote an successful application for the position and is now looking forward to getting started this week! We are excited to see the impact this student leadership group will make with other students across the years.
A huge well done!

Our Year 3 pupils stepped into the kitchen this week for an exciting, hands on Design and Technology (DT) food workshop run by Sean from the amazing team at Open Kitchen
Working in small cooking stations, the children took on the role of real chefs as they prepared their very own fresh Summer Rolls. Take a look at our young chefs as they:
🌱 Discovered Food Origins & Seasonality: Learning about different plant parts, from root veggies like carrots to fresh mint, and why eating seasonal, locally grown food helps our planet.
🔪 Mastered Knife Safety: Practicing essential physical chef techniques, including the "Claw" and "Bridge" grips, to safely slice and grate ingredients.
🌯 Hydrated & Assembled: Dipping rice paper in warm water, then carefully folding, tucking, and rolling their fresh summer rolls.
😋 Taste Tested & Evaluated: Sharing feedback on flavour profiles, textures, and how to tweak their recipes next time!
We were so impressed by their focus, brilliant teamwork, and culinary skills.
🌏 A huge thank you to Open Kitchen! A fabulous company which was founded by experienced chefs from fine dining, bakery, and hospitality backgrounds. The team are on a mission to tackle food waste across the Northwest. By intercepting surplus food, supporting local pantries, and running food education workshops, they are showing pupils how zero waste cooking can be both delicious and impactful to help our environment.
