What a great Commando Joes session! We had to build the tallest structure with the equipment given! We learnt a lot about resilience and the importance of communicating with others during this activity #TheGatesCommandoJoes

Thank you to everyone in our community who came to our Gates Green Fest! It was great to see many people and get involved with games and activities. Most importantly to spread the message about the importance of sustainability and repurposing, reusing and reclaiming materials.

We were delighted that the Mayor of Westhoughton Councillor Sarita Chohan Chohan and her Consort Rishikesh Chohan could visit our school to attend our Gates Green Fest today and share our love of sustainability and being in nature! And of course help with planting!

@Thegatescouncil It was a wonderful meeting and I am always so inspired by the opinions and views of our children!

Today we met with Mr Doherty to discuss our next steps for the final half term. We also reviewed our ideas for rewards, fed back the youth council ideas and shared our ideas for the Summer fair #TheGatesSMSC #pupilleadership @TheGatesPrimary

To celebrate #NationalNumeracyDay, we explored where numbers are used and seen within our community.🔢 We then worked in teams to design and build a community skate park, using special offers and budgeting skills to get the best value for money! 🛹💷 #TheGatesMaths @Nat_Numeracy

In our final DT lesson of the term we made our big houses using all the skills we have learnt this term! Aren’t they amazing!! #thegatesdt
