• Olympus - 50 years anniversary

  Thu 10 Dec 2020
  Today (science day yesterday!) Olympus looked at some aspects of school life from the last 50 years. They were horrified by the punishments and shiny toilet paper, baffled by the glue, pink staining teeth tablets and wooden boxed TV, and quite taken with the idea of desktop pencil sharpener and savings scheme! We also listened to various school hymns that have stood the test of time - how many can you sing?

  

• Celebrating 50 years of Primrose Hill Primary School

  Wed 09 Dec 2020 Mrs Bullock

  The children have had a great morning learning about life in the different decades that Primrose Hill School has seen! They created Key Note presentations with details about fashions, foods, key historical events, popular music and toys of the decades. 
   

  Great job Snowdon!

• Celebrating the 50th Anniversary in Year 6 Everest

  Wed 09 Dec 2020 Mrs Goodyear
  Today Year 6 Everest took a trip down memory lane (with a little help from Dr Who and a time machine) to think back over the last 50 years of Primrose Hill. Using digital technology (Digimaps and Google Earth imagery) alongside Ordnance Survey Maps, the children tried to piece together some imagery of the school over time. We took a tour of each decade thinking what significant events from history have occurred over the last 50 years. The children shared some fascinating insights into their own families and connections to Primrose over that time. In addition, we tried to imagine what the 75th Anniversary celebrations might look like in the future and how the school might change over the next 25 years. Finally, we created some Op Art to show our time travel for the day. We look forward to sharing together some more memories over the course of the year.

  

• 50th Anniversary

  Wed 09 Dec 2020 Miss Blackwell and Mrs Higson
  Today we talked about the school building turning 50 years old in the summer. As we are looking forward to what Santa might bring us, our teachers brought in some presents that they received from Santa when they were little. We saw Mrs Nash’s favourite dolly, Mrs Higson’s dolls tea set, Mrs Rigby’s etch-a-sketch, Mrs Mansley’s favourite teddy and Miss Blackwell Russian dolls. 

  

• Maple class - DT sewing puppets

  Wed 09 Dec 2020 Mrs Di Franco
  We have been working hard in Maple class to create our own puppets. We designed our puppets, based on a safari animal to link to our topic around Africa, then cut our puppets out. We learnt how to do the running stitch to sew our puppets together. It was tricky, but we persevered. Finally, we decorated our puppets to look like colourful safari animals. Can you guess which animals we have created? 

  

• Maple class - celebrating the 50th anniversary of our school

  Wed 09 Dec 2020 Mrs Di Franco
  Today we have had a great day learning about the history of Euxton Primrose Hill to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our brilliant school. We looked back over the past 50 years to understand the significant events that have happened throughout this time. To commemorate this special occasion, we have created a piece of artwork. 
  First, the children painted a tile in either yellow or green. Next, the children made a Primrose flower to stick onto their tile. Finally, we arranged these to remember this special year. 
  We hope you enjoy our pictures. 

  

• PSHE tying shoelaces in Elm Class

  Fri 04 Dec 2020 Miss Pearson

  In PSHE we have been learning to stay safe and one of the things we realised is that when we wear our trainers for PE we could be unsafe if our laces were untied.  
   

  So we all had a practise at school and tried to use the bunny ears method to tie our laces!
   

  We have promised to keep practising at home .  
   

  Practise makes perfect. 

  

• Science - heating and cooling in Elm Class

  Fri 04 Dec 2020 Miss Pearson

  We had amazing fun in Elm Class on Thursday when we looked at how materials heat and how we cool them.  We were all given a chocolate button wrapped in tin foil and used the heat of our hands to melt the chocolate. It was great fun.  We then put some of the chocolate buttons back into the freezer and realised that we could make the chocolate button freezer back into the same shape. Some of us understood the term reversible change.

   

  We then moved onto using bicarbonate of soda and vinegar to see what happened ! The squeals of delight could be heard across school as the mixture became foamy and fizzy !  
   

  A great science lesson with Mrs Callander! 

  

• Raft making results in Cedar class

  Tue 01 Dec 2020 Mrs.Hacking

  This morning we tested our rafts to see if they would float. We also wanted the Lego person to stay dry.

  All our rafts were fabulous but we had some mixed results. We discussed together how each raft could be improved and everyone had very clear ideas about how this could be achieved. Well done Cedar class.

  

• Making a waterproof raft for a Lego person

  Mon 30 Nov 2020 Mrs Hacking

  Cedar Class have enjoyed learning the names and properties of different materials for Science.

  Today they were set a challenge to build a raft that would keep a Lego person.

  We will test our rafts tomorrow and reveal the results........
