• Olympus - La Fete des Rois

  Thu 06 Jan 2022

  Today, Olympus celebrated the French day of La Fete des Rois - the ‘12th day of Christmas’ when the wise men/kings visited Jesus. The children learnt all about the tradition of making a galette (cake) in which to hide a small figure (we used a skittle!) - a very similar tradition to the old hiding a coin in a Christmas pudding. They wrote a script for role play and then…the best part…acted it out complete with eating a slice of cake! Whoever found the skittle in their slice became king or queen for the rest of the day.

  

• Art in Elm Class Y2 - African Designs

  Thu 06 Jan 2022 Miss Pearson

  We are really enjoying creating our art work at the moment as we continue to work on our Andrinka Print blocks. 
   

  We made our printing blocks out of sponge today and we are sure you’ll agree they are going to look fantastic when we print tomorrow .

   

  We also experimented with colour and collage , practising overlapping colours ready for our final piece. We think they are going to be amazing. 

   

  

• Maths in Elm Class Y2 - Multiplication

  Thu 06 Jan 2022 Miss Pearson

  The start of our topic on multiplication this week included lots of opportunities to use our counters and make arrays. 
   

  It was brilliant when we all had a go at some true or false questions, like 

  5+5 = 2+2+2+2+2.  We eventually created arrays and noticed 2 groups of 5 was the same as 5 groups of 2.
