• 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.

  It was lovely to hear what the children had been up to in the Christmas holidays. This week we have explored magnets, talked about winter and cold colours, had our first session on Kidsafe and had two days of balance biking.
