• World War II Chronology in Snowdon Class

  Tue 10 May 2022 Mrs Bullock

  We had a really great history session today, the children in Snowdon class began by thinking what ‘chronology’ and ‘key events’ meant to them. They created a timeline of their lives adding on important events and dates.  They then went on to learn about key events in WWII. We took our learning into the hall where event cards were first sorted into year groups, then into month order. Finally, the cards were placed on a time line. Good team work folks!

  

• Art -Andy Goldsworthy Elm Class

  Mon 09 May 2022 C Pearson

  We had amazing fun today when we explored the work of Andy Goldsworthy. We looked at using a range of natural materials and worked with our friendship groups to create our own.

   

  The forest school area was a great place to find materials for our art. 
   

  Our mums and dads loved looking at our work at home time too! 
   

  

• Planting beans

  Tue 03 May 2022 Miss Blackwell

  Our text this term is Jack and the Beanstalk. The children were so excited to see that a  beanstalk had been to school in the holidays but all that was left were some magic beans. The children wanted to plant their own beans and were able to write some instructions of how to do it. 

  

• Year 6 Chess Club

  Tue 03 May 2022 Miss Burns

  Earlier in the year, some of our Year 6 pupils asked if they could run a chess club at lunchtimes.  This has proven extremely popular with lots of members requesting to join.  Many of the children have even taught themselves how to play chess at home, completely independently.  They are even giving some of the teachers a run for their money!

  Wed 27 Apr 2022 Mrs Kanski

  Our Science topic this half term is all about Plants. We have been into the school grounds and enjoyed taking photographs of a variety of plants, discussing similarities and differences that we could see. We learnt about the different parts of plants and their functions.

  Wed 27 Apr 2022 Miss Blackwell

  This morning, Olympus have learnt a huge amount about Ancient Greece from Professor Tuesday including: the story of King Minos and the Minotaur and Daedalus and Icarus,  timeline of history, city states, types of government, trade, handling of artefacts and a magic trick from Pythagorus.

• Art in Maple class

  Thu 21 Apr 2022

  Yesterday Maple class ventured into the forest school to collect nature objects to sketch. We collected lots of interested plants, flowers and leaves. When we came back to class we observed the objects in detail and the sketched them using shading to highlight farm and light parts of the objects. We had such a lovely afternoon in the sunshine!

  

• Olympus litter pick

  Sun 03 Apr 2022

  On the last day of term, Olympus went on a litter pick of the local area. In addition, we retrieved many balls that had ended up on Primrose Hill Farm’s fields! The children were amazing and collected a huge amount of rubbish, becoming quite competitive. Hopefully this will have a lasting impact on them and encourage everyone to be more mindful of the environment. Many thanks to Euxton Parish council for their loan of litter pickers, gloves, hi-vis jackets and bin bags
