• Reading in Ash Class

  Thu 14 Oct 2021

  We adore reading in Year 1!

  We practise our reading and blending skills in our daily Phonics sessions using books that feature the phonemes we have learned. This helps us build our reading confidence.

  This week we also really enjoyed visiting our school library and choosing books to borrow and read for pleasure.

  

• Autumn walk

  Tue 12 Oct 2021 Miss Blackwell

  The children enjoyed an Autumn walk through the woods today. We read a non-fiction book about Autumn to find out what to look for and had a brilliant discussion about the changing of seasons.  The children found leaves that were changing colour, berries on the trees, acorns and collected them in their buckets and took photos with the iPads. Some children collected sticks and wanted to compare the length as we have been looking at the language longest and shortest in maths.

• Chocolate Rocks in Rivington

  Mon 11 Oct 2021 Miss Fowler

  What if rocks were chocolate? 🍫🪨

   

  To continue our learning about how different rocks are formed, we turned to chocolate! We took some of our favourite chocolate bars and categorised them into sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic based on their features. 
   

  Our treat for successfully categorising our chocolate ‘rocks’ was to eat them! 

  

• Olympus - science explosions!

  Mon 11 Oct 2021

  Today, Olympus discovered what can happen with an irreversible change. A bit of vinegar/lemon juice and an effervescent tablet and kaboom! Lots of discussion about how much liquid, how much tablet, how much room needed for the gas to build up and create enough pressure for an impressive lift off…

  

• Rivington’s European Day of Languages

  Fri 08 Oct 2021 Miss Fowler

  Hej fra Årgang Tre Rivington Klasse - Hello from Year Three Rivington Class! 🇩🇰 

   

  We had a strålende day learning all about Denmark! We researched the 5 biggest cities in Denmark, learned about Hans Christian Andersen and his stories and tried out hand at some Danish phrases too.
   

  In the afternoon, we got into the Danish spirit of Hygge , the art of cosiness! With blankets, candles, hot chocolate and biscuits, we thought about how to spend our perfect Hygge day with those we love. 

   

  Farvel for nu! 🇩🇰

  

• Beech and Oak European Languages Day

  Fri 08 Oct 2021 Miss Blackwell

  The children had a wonderful time on Friday for European Languages day. The children learnt how to say hello, goodbye and a nursery rhyme in French. We danced with streamers to the music 'Carnival of Animals', paraded around the hall with the flags and tasted some French bread.

  

• Year 2 Maple - European Languages Day

  Fri 08 Oct 2021

  Maple class have had an exciting day for European languages day. We started off with a visit from Mrs Hall who taught us how to say Hi, goodbye and my name is. We created our own Italian flags and looked at different parts of the country. We created a fact file and learnt lots of interesting facts about Italy and ended by making our own leaning tower of Pisa - the children found it tricky working out how to make their tower lean! 
  Such a fun day had by everyone in Maple! 

  

• Y2 Elm Class Music

  Fri 08 Oct 2021 Miss Pearson

  This week we were fantastic at using the untuned percussion to find a pulse (the heartbeat of the song).  We were really focussed and loved using the instruments to help. 
   

  We then created our own rhythm patterns using our own class created sentences .  It was great fun!
