• Y5 Olympus - La Fete des Rois

  Mon 09 Jan 2023

  Olympus celebrated the French festival of La Fête des Rois on the 4th - traditionally it is celebrated on the 6th January however we were watching A Christmas Carol at the theatre on that day! The children learned all about the history behind this tradition, made a ‘Galette des Rois’ (sweet pastry cake) and created a script in French to use when choosing who got to eat the next slice until the roi (king) or reine (queen) was decided. They also wrote in French what they had done that day.

  

• Art in Y2 Elm -African Designs

  Mon 09 Jan 2023 Miss Pearson

  We had great fun today designing our own symbols to represent our families.  Families in Africa often have their own design on cloth to show what type of family they are. W thought about words like happiness, strength, caring, love and hard-working and used these feelings to design a symbol for our own family.  We hope you like the results.

• Pendle Class Stone Age Cave Paintings

  Wed 14 Dec 2022 Miss Dobbs

  Pendle Class have created their very own Stone Age paintings on a cave wall! The children practised painting with natural objects and even had a go at making their own paint using charcoal. They designed a painting in the style of a Stone Age cave painter and painted this onto paper first. Then they had to recreate this on a rocky cave wall, which was very tricky! The final wall looks fantastic.

• Creating Blood in Year 6

  Thu 08 Dec 2022 Miss Burns

  K2 class had an absolutely wonderful afternoon making blood. We used household ingredients to represent the different components within blood, such as marshmallows for white blood cells and pom-poms for platelets. The children then had to work out roughly how many of each they were allowed to put into their blood, so that the levels were correct.
