In preparation for their week long residential trip to France, Year 6 had a fluent French speaking visitor join them, Mademoiselle Hooper, so that they could practise building their sentences.
There was a market stall, a cafe and a patisserie set up for the children to visit and order the items of their choice in French. They also practised asking where they could buy certain items from and replying with the correct name in French for the specific shops.
Year 3 joined them for the same activity - but in Spanish!
Year 6 then paired up with Year 3 and the respective year groups visited each others stalls. It was a rather international scene and a hive of activity! 🇫🇷🇪🇸🍽️
In Latin this week, the Year 6’s enjoyed a carousel of activities linked to recent work they have been learning.
One group looked at the Roman myth of Echo and Narcissus and, using iPads, began to create colourful and informative posters or fact files. Another group linked their maths understanding of Roman Numerals to reveal a hidden mosaic picture. Whilst the last two groups studied the formation of verbs in the present tense and either matched up the English and Latin verbs or linked them in a loop game.
Lots of speaking and listening skills were displayed, together with group work, cross curricular links and research resulted in a very productive and enjoyable lesson proving that Latin really is Living!

This term, Preschool Ash have been exploring the theme “Where We Live in the World.” 🌎
The children worked together to create a large representation of the world, using a variety of materials. They used shapes to design and draw their homes and families, before cutting and sticking their pictures onto the display.
Alongside this, the children explored different types of homes from around the world and talked about their own houses, where they live, and what they enjoy doing at home. They shared their ideas through discussions and creative activities, helping to bring the topic to life in a meaningful and engaging.
