5M had an amazing time today at Manchester Art Gallery, learning about and acting out the battle of Troy! We loved seeing the paintings of parts of the myth and of the Ancient Greek gods too!
5M’s Ancient Greeks Trip!
Year 3 had a visitor from the recycling centre today. We learned all about which items should be put in which bins. Hopefully we can help others to understand aswell!
Manchester Recycling Centre Visitor
Today we had an exciting visitor from Manchester Recycling Centre come to talk to us the importance of recycling. Lisa was very impressed with year 3’s knowledge of recycling and said we were expert recyclers!
Forest School Fun!
Yesterday some of Giraffe class started Forest School. The children got to climb trees. play in the mud kitchen, pretend to be woodland animals and had a go at leaf bashing with Mrs Rowley. They already can’t wait for their next session!
5B’s trip to the art gallery
Ahead of our history and art lessons on the ancient Greeks, we visited Manchester Art Gallery to learn about The Battle of Troy. We could totally immerse ourselves in the enormous art works as our guide led us through this legendary conflict in Greek mythology.
Mayan headdresses and Pok Ta Pok!
6T have been studying the Mayans in History. We have made our own headdresses, the length of the feathers can tell us just how important that person was. We have also attempted the fun game of Pok Ta Pok which involves shooting a ball through a hoop, but you cannot use your feet, hands or heads. It was tricky, but hilarious!
Year 2M’s Egg-citing Discovery.
This term, Year 2 have been exploring the fascinating life cycle of a chick as part of their science learning — and it’s been a truly egg-cellent experience!
This hands-on experience has brought the science curriculum to life and helped the children understand the life cycle in a meaningful, memorable way. It’s safe to say that Year 2M have become real-life chick experts!
Community Invite
Year 1 – RE – Happy Wesak Day
This week in RE, Ms Dobson and Year 1 have enjoyed celebrating Buddha Day by making masks of animals to show love and kindness to everything.
Chicks in EYFS
The children (and adults!) have been so excited to have some eggs delivered to our school. We have been looking and listening very carefully to see what happens. We were so delighted yesterday when we heard some chicks cheeping from inside their eggs. This morning we came into school to a wonderful surprise. 5 chicks had hatched over night! We will be watching carefully to see how many more will hatch and learning all about lifecycles.
This morning 5 chicks had hatched. We moved 3 to a bigger home because they were nice and fluffy. These ones stayed in the hatcher for a little longer to keep nice and warm whilst they fluffed up.
This afternoon we had even more excitement when another chick hatched.
These chicks are all nice and fluffy in the big box where they can keep warm and learn to eat and drink.
