• Pendle Class Roman trip to Chester

  Wed 16 Mar 2022 Miss Dobbs

  Yesterday, Pendle Class had a fantastic time on their trip to Chester as part of our Roman topic. The children went to the Dewa Roman Museum to learn all about life in Roman Britain. After lunch, they were met by a Roman centurion who led them to the amphitheatre where they took part in formation training. It was a fabulous day enjoyed by all.

• Rivington’s Roman Trip to Chester

  Tue 15 Mar 2022

  We had a super time on our trip to Chester to become Roman soldiers! We got all of our equipment from our centurion before marching the streets of Chester. We practised our battle formations and attacking stances before exploring the real life Chester amphitheater. After lunch, we sailed back to Roman Chester to learn about toilets, gladiator battles and bath houses. It was a brilliant day and we learned so much! 

  

• Designing and making a fruit kebab

  Tue 15 Mar 2022

  Wow! What amazing learning Ash Class have done so far this week.  The children have all successfully identified features of instructions and followed them in the correct order.  
  First, we tasted a variety of fruits and used our senses to choose adjectives to describe them. The children then decided on which fruit they would like to use to create their kebabs whilst thinking about applying repeated patterns.  
   

  Today we got to make them! Remembering the purpose of food hygiene from earlier, we washed away any germs.  We used the ‘claw and bridge method’ to safely chop up our fruit and create our tasty kebabs. 
   

  They were delicious and everyone in Ash Class thoroughly enjoyed them. 
   

  In science, we have been learning about ‘growth’. We discussed what grows all around us, how we grow and today how mini beasts grow too.  
  
  Using our English knowledge of instructions, we followed step by step method to grow our own cress seeds.  We are looking forward to watch and record how the seeds grow over the next week. 
   

  Well done Ash Class. 

   

  
   

   

  

• Instructions and Fruit kebabs in Cedar Class

  Tue 15 Mar 2022 Mrs.Hacking

  Cedar class have been following instructions over the last couple of weeks. Last week, we had to follow instructions to make our own cheese and ham sandwiches (all dietary requirements were met), which we all enjoyed eating! This week, we have been following instructions to make our own fruit kebab. We have tasted different fruits, discussed our favourites, designed a kebab ensuring we create a colourful pattern, learnt about food hygiene and learnt the ‘bridge’ and ‘claw’ safe cutting techniques. Once we made our delicious fruit kebabs we ate them eagerly and discussed what worked and what we could change if we made them again. I think there are a few budding chefs in Cedar Class. 🍌 🍎 🍉 😋 👩‍🍳 👨‍🍳

• Super Snowdon River Projects

  Thu 10 Mar 2022 Mrs Bullock

  What a great end to our work on rivers! The children were set a challenge, produce something that demonstrates what you have learnt about rivers. I’m so impressed with the knowledge that they shared with younger children. It was an absolute pleasure to welcome parents and grandparents into our class too, many thanks for taking time to come and see us. Also, thank you for the help with completing the projects. Super proud of team Snowdon today!
