A Poem by Nathan Cox about his time at Chorlton Park Primary

I entered the school, it was really big,

The doors closed there was no going back.

I trembled my new class was near,

Then I saw some old friend, Myles, Jude, Eddy, Zac.

In reception we played through the day,

I guess at the time school was okay.

I was in R2, the class of Mrs Lee,

We found it fun – my friends and me.

My first trip was to Chester Zoo,

I found it fun, Woohoo, Woohoo.

There were elephants insects and birds that flew,

Everyone else enjoyed it too.

Year 1 started out quite nice,

We played games involving dice.

Then Mrs Wray gave us work quite bad,

We were tortured and driven mad.

Year 2 brought the best; Mr Green,

Never ever was he being mean.

One day someone brought in a snake,

Another we made a really big cake.

In year 3 the work was mean,

It was the worst we’d ever seen.

Despite this it was still quite fun,

We all beamed like a sun.

Year 6 Leavers Assembly

A few tears were shed today as we said goodbye to the current year 6.

School Volunteers

Mr Watson and all the school staff would like to thank all the volunteers who have worked have in school over the last year and to recognise what an important role they play in school.  We have parents, carers and other volunteers who give up lots of time to come in to school and listen to readers or come along on trips and visits.  We could not manage without you.

Reception Garden Party

Thank you to all parents and carers who came to the party and dressing the children up in red.  The assembly was wonderful and it was great to share it with so many of our adults.

Have a Great Summer

We would like to wish all children a happy and safe summer and see you refreshed and ready to learn in the new year.

We did a play all about fish,

It was more than we could wish.

It was all about a commotion,

That happened underneath the ocean.

In year 4 we studied hard,

Making books out of card.

We were driven round the bend,

Before year 4 managed to end.

In year 5 I had Ms Wray again,

The work got hard – full of pain.

For set maths I had Mrs Wood,

She made us work all we could.

In year 6 I had Mr G,

He was as mad as could be.

Despite this I had fun,

With all the activities we have done.

The residential was the best,

Although the mud was a pest.

Zip wire, archery and night line,

Everything was a happy time.

Now I’m going to Chorlton High,

I’m so exited I could fly,

All the way in the sky.

So Chorlton Park, Bye, Bye.

Thank you Nathan and good luck to all of Year 6 in their future, we hope you continue to be a credit to your new high schools.  Keep in touch and let us know how it is going.
