  Thu 23 Mar 2023

  Mont Blanc welcomed a Jewish visitor to class who talked about her religion. The children learnt about the importance of the mezuzah on the doorframe, the story beyond Passover and the menorah, and why Jewish people eat unleavened bread. It was a very informative session.

  

• Houses and our local area

  Thu 23 Mar 2023 Miss Blackwell

  On Tuesday and Wednesday, Reception went for a walk around Euxton. We looked at different types of houses and the materials they were made of. We talked about busy and quiet roads and which places we could hear traffic. In the afternoon we put our pictures on a map and discussed our journey. Next week we will make our own messy maps and talk through our route. 

  

• Lowry Artist in Ash Class

  Tue 21 Mar 2023

  This morning Ash class had a visit from Danny who is an Artist from the Lowry in Manchester. He taught us how to blend and shade using oil pastels in the traditional colours that L.S. Lowry used in his paintings. We created industrial landscape pictures including the matchstick figures that Lowry was so famous for. We are very proud of our creations and really enjoyed the morning.

  Olympus have really impressed during our dance unit ‘Earthlings’. They have created a dance with individual movements (comets), paired (2 different planets), groups (rocket to UFO) and whole class (sun that then explodes).

  What a wonderful afternoon in Snowdon class. The children shared their river projects with children from other classes and it was lovely to see parents in school. I am so impressed at the efforts and knowledge of the children. Big well done team Snowdon.

  The children in Ben Nevis had a wonderful afternoon showcasing their amazing river projects to their peers and parents. The children had created books, websites, t-shirts and models.

• Testing materials

  Thu 16 Mar 2023 Miss Blackwell

  We had lots of fun testing materials. We looked at which materials were waterproof and windproof using a fan and a watering can. The children noticed that some materials were strong, bendy, light, heavy and shiny. We had a great discussion about the properties of each material and why we need them for different things. The children enjoyed exploring different materials in continuous provision.

• BSL Awareness Week in Elm Class

  Tue 14 Mar 2023 Miss Pearson

  What a fantastic time we had in school when Leanne and Scott came to talk to us about BSL (BSL stands for British Sign Language).  This week is BSL awareness week so it was a great time to learn something new ! 

   

  We had fun learning some simple signs like good morning, and we are going to sign the class register from now on! We had a great time learning to fingerspell our names, and learned about Leanne’s job as an interpreter. Scott explained to us about how things are different when you are deaf, and he said that with his desk friends, they use the lights and flash them to get attention !
