Our Reception children enjoyed a very special learning experience this week as they took part in a Kindness Walk in the local community. The children visited a local supermarket to buy flowers and then thoughtfully shared them with members of the community. This lovely activity helped the children understand the importance of kindness, generosity and caring for others.

It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they interacted with people and spread smiles along the way. We are incredibly proud of our Reception pupils for representing the school so beautifully and for demonstrating such thoughtful and compassionate behaviour.

 

To celebrate World Book Day, pupils from across the school took part in a creative Bookmark Competition. We were delighted to receive so many wonderful entries and would like to thank all children who contributed their fantastic designs.

To ensure a fair judging process, the competition was judged by Nani Pat, who kindly acted as an impartial judge. After reviewing all of the entries, three winners were selected: Early Years Winner: Grace S (Reception); Key Stage 1 Winner: Evie P (Year 2); Key Stage 2 Winner: Nancy (Year 4)

Each winner received a voucher to spend at a bookstore as a reward for their creativity and effort. Well done to all of our winners, and thank you again to everyone who took part in celebrating World Book Day with us.

 

Our Reception class had a wonderful time celebrating World Book Day, enjoying a day filled with stories, imagination and creativity. The children looked fantastic as they came dressed as their favourite book characters, bringing their love of reading to life. It was lovely to see such a wide range of costumes and to hear the children excitedly talking about their chosen books and characters.

Staff joined in the fun too, dressing up alongside the children and helping to create a magical, story-filled atmosphere in the classroom. The day was full of shared reading, book-themed activities and lots of opportunities to celebrate the joy of books together. Well done to all our Reception children for making World Book Day such a special and memorable occasion.

Today, Acre Hall Primary School was proud to support The Toy House with their Paediatric Emergency First Aid for Parents session. The session was extremely well delivered by a highly qualified and experienced professional, who guided parents and carers through essential first aid knowledge and practical demonstrations. It was lovely to see some of our Acre Hall parents and carers in attendance, engaging so positively and asking thoughtful questions throughout.

The course covered key life-saving skills including how to carry out a primary survey (DRABC), respond in an emergency, manage choking, perform CPR on babies and children, and deal with common childhood injuries. Parents had the opportunity to observe demonstrations and build confidence in understanding what to do in an emergency situation. Gaining this knowledge and confidence is incredibly important. In a real emergency, knowing how to act quickly and calmly can make a significant difference. Attending a 2.5–3 hour course like this helps parents to develop the confidence to respond effectively in an emergency; understand how to assess danger and check for breathing and circulation; learn how to perform CPR and manage choking in babies and children; recognise and respond to common childhood accidents and injuries, and feel more reassured and prepared at home and in the community

Following today’s successful event, we are keen to organise a similar session here at Acre Hall, possibly one afternoon after school, to make it more accessible for working parents. We believe that providing opportunities like this strengthens our school community and supports the safety and wellbeing of our children beyond the classroom. We will keep you informed.

 

To celebrate World Book Day on Thursday, 5th March 2026, our kitchen is turning into a culinary library. Our Sodexo and School Food United Team have created a special themed menu inspired by some of the most beloved stories in children’s literature. We can’t wait to see everyone’s outfits and celebrate the joy of reading together!

 

Our Nursery and Reception children had a wonderful visit today as part of their Supervised Toothbrushing Audit. The session was led by the Oral Health Improvement Officer from Trafford, who worked closely with our Early Years team to support and promote good oral hygiene practices.

During the visit, the nurse delivered an engaging toothbrushing demonstration using visual resources and model teeth, helping the children to understand the correct way to brush their teeth. The children also enjoyed listening to a story focused on dental health, which supported their understanding of why brushing regularly is so important. This was a valuable and interactive learning experience that encouraged the children to develop positive oral health habits from an early age. We are proud of how well our children participated, listening carefully and showing great enthusiasm throughout the session.

We would like to thank the School Nurse for supporting our Early Years provision and helping to promote healthy routines that will benefit our children both in school and at home.
