Thu 15 Oct 2020What an interesting afternoon in Snowdon class! We have been finding out more about life in Saxon times, the children researched place names and found that villages and towns were often named after the village chieftain or physical features of the land they were built on.
Saxon words

We used Digimaps to search for place names, we found lots of Saxon place names close toys in Euxton!

Marshmallow Toasting for Rivington
Wed 14 Oct 2020After a torrential Stone Age Day, we finally managed a dry enough day to get the fire pit alight to toast our marshmallows! We had a lot of fun, although some of our marshmallows were a little more “well done” than others, and even recycled our skewers to collect some leaves and acorns! A real autumnal treat! 🍡🔥

Toasting marshmallows in Pendle Class
Wed 14 Oct 2020Today we made the most of the dry weather and went out to toast marshmallows on the fire. We were supposed to do this during our Stone Age Day as part of the fire making activity last week but unfortunately it was too wet. It was definitely worth the wait!

Autumn Art in Snowdon Class
Wed 14 Oct 2020Over the last few days, we have been looking closely at the changing season and thinking about how we can show this through our art work. We looked at work completed by Monet, Georgia O’Keefe and David Hockney and discussed colour, composition, texture and how the paintings made us feel. We then went on an Autumnal walk through the forest area to look closely for signs of changes, children then carefully selected a number of leaves to study. Using a range of pencils they completed still life drawings. We will now work these into a mixed media piece using water colour paints, chalk and oil pastels!

Science - Classification in Everest.
Fri 09 Oct 2020In Everest today, we have been continuing with our classification topic in Science. This morning we looked at how vertebrates can be classified into kingdoms. The children researched characteristics of each kingdom and created some fantastic fact-files. This afternoon, in our P.E. session, we put our knowledge into practice through classification relays. We had a fantastic time and it really helped to consolidate our prior learning.

Fri 09 Oct 2020Elm class had a wonderful time this week because they have been designing and making their own puppets . They thought about all the different characters in Nursery Rhymes , and we discussed that younger children like to use puppets to help them remember the rhyme !
