Year 5 Elm - French translators of the future!

This week Year 5 have been exploring how informative our Collins Primary Illustrated French dictionaries can be and using them to help us translate texts from French into English. We have been learning vocabulary linked to our Anglo-Saxon topic, so we can compare and contrast ancient settlements to modern towns; in our more complicated texts, there were lots of new words that we needed to look up to translate. 

Here are children from Elm Tree Class being dictionary detectives and translators!

MW Staff & Children having Lunch together

Here on the Manor way site it is a regular sight to see the teachers sitting down to eat their lunch with the children. We believe that this is a learning opportunity, as staff can model good dining room manners and eating habits. In addition, staff can converse with the children in a more informal surrounding. 

If you came into the dining room today you would have seen Miss Coombs, from Year 3 Olive class, eating her lunch with members of her class.

Australia Day at MW Lunchtime

Today on the Manor Way site we celebrated Australia Day at lunchtime. The children were offered 'sticky BBQ chicken', 'Mango Pavlova' and other special healthy food types. As you can see, the kitchen staff got into the swing of things wearing their traditional Australian hats!

Year 5 Pine - Mini-Chef

On Thursday 25th January Year 5 Pine class produced some delicious vegetarian chilli, which the children sold to the parents/carers at the end of the day on the playground.

Nursery - The Jolly Postman

As part of our learning linked to our topic book, The Jolly Postman, we wrote letters that included a drawing of our favourite fairy tale character. We walked to the local post box to deliver our letters.









On the way back to school, we saw Mrs Jolly posting letters to the local houses. She gave us a wave.

In the Forest School, we had to help the the Jolly Postman collect his letters which has blown everywhere in the wind. We sorted the letters by looking at the number on the front of them.


Miss Dadds went to deliver all the letters with the Jolly Postman.
