Green Meadow Independent Primary School

We are very proud of our Art, DT, Geography and science work.

Look at our amazing literacy work about emotional stories. We thought about feeling lonely, ignores or hopeful. We illustrated our work.

Today for anti-bullying week the children have made their own friendship bracelets. The children were able to say what words they associate with friendships. The children chose words such as
Helpful
Happy
Kind
Nice
Caring
Some very lovely words 🥰

Key stage 2 have had an excellent trip to the Imperial War Museum. It was informative, emotional and interesting. We got to meet ex military personnel and handle real artefacts. We watched emotional stories which taught us how important peace is.

Odd socks day
Today our pupils took part in odd socks day. What a great way to celebrate what makes us all unique for Anti-Bullying Week!

Thank you to our pupils and their families who have brought in a Christmas shoe box or donation for the Operation Christmas Child shoe box appeal. We have contacted our local representative and these are all ready for collection. Ready to go on their journey to some little boys and girl’s for Christmas. Thank you.

Today in our Kindergarten and Reception class we’ve been reading the story Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert. Our pupils have enjoyed collecting their own leaves to use within a cutting and gluing activity to make their very own leaf creations. 🍁🍂

Autumn days 🍂
This time of year is one of our favourite seasons where our pupils can use their senses to explore our world around us 🌎. The children in our Kindergarten and Reception class have enjoyed looking at the different sizes and colours of the beautiful autumn leaves that had fallen off the trees 🍁. Exploring the world around us can extend the children’s curiosity as they could hear the leaves crunch underneath their feet and we discussed the different seasonal changes.

We are very happy with our new purchase from the British Heart Foundation that has arrived today.
It’s something that we hope we will never have to use but comforting to know that we have this available if we ever need it. Our teachers are trained on how to use these when we take part in our first aid courses.

Yesterday some of our teachers gave up their half term to come into school and took part in a paediatric first aid training course. At Green Meadow we pride ourselves on knowing that our teachers and support teachers have the knowledge and qualifications to provide necessary emergency first aid. It’s very important for all our members of staff to be provided with the opportunity to engage in this professional development which could have a positive effect on our pupils and their safety within school. 🩹🌡🩺

At Green Meadow Independent Primary School every child really does matter to us. Our small class sizes and dedicated teachers provide a fun and challenging curriculum to meet the needs of all our pupils.

Are you decorating your home this Halloween? Light-up decorations such as pumpkins, cauldrons, torches and wands are fantastic for creating a spooktactular atmosphere. But many of these items are powered by button batteries which can badly hurt or kill a child if swallowed.

That’s why it’s so important when buying button battery-powered Halloween novelties that you check the battery compartment is secured with a screw or similar fastener to prevent children gaining access.

When you’re stocking up on treats this Halloween please remember that some sweets can be dangerous for little ones.

Lollipops, hard candy and mini eggs in particular can pose a serious choking risk. So please pick another treat and scare safely this Halloween.

Thank you so much to all our wonderful pupils and their families for their kind donations for our harvest collection. I have just helped a representative from the Atherton & Leigh Foodbank load it all into their vehicle. Thank you once again.

Today we visited Kenyon Hall Farm for our annual pumpkin and harvest visit. The children enjoyed learning about the different foods that are grown on the farm and we spotted some of these on our walk around - especially the pumpkins. All the children enjoyed choosing their own pumpkin to take home and we also sent some pumpkin soup recipes home for their families to try out.

We’ve had an out of this world week in our Kindergarten and Reception class. 👾🚀 🌍

Making patterns.
We’ve had lots of fun today in our EYFS creating some 2 colour patterns. All the children did a wonderful job creating their own pattern headband to take home. During the activity children were able to identify and mistakes in the patterns and confidently corrected themselves ⭐️👍 super work.

Roald Dahl day 📚
Yesterday we had fun dressing up as characters from a variety of books written by Roald Dahl. The children across the school joined in with different lessons to learn all about the author and some of the wonderful books he wrote. Here are some of our pupils in their fabulous costumes.

In Design Technology prep 3/4 investigated the different shapes of kites, we then made one and tested it out. We loved doing this.

Key stage 1 have been learning about natural sculptures in Art. We looked closely at some natural objects and then we carefully sculpted them out of plasticine. The children used lots of different sculpting tools to create detail to their sculptures. We had lots of different creations from hedgehogs to rabbits 🦔🐾🐇

In science we had an enjoyable lesson constructing our own series circuits to then make a traffic light. We found out about Garrett Morgan, who invented the first traffic light.

Congratulations to our new house captains ⭐️

I’m sure they’re going to do a wonderful job representing either Kipling house 🟡 , Donaldson house 🟢 and Dahl house 🔵 and being their team captains.

Recycling week. ♻️
Today we talked about the different types of materials which can be recycled from our homes. Together we sorted the items into 3 categories of ‘tin’, ‘plastic’ and ‘cardboard’. The children showed a high level of curiosity and were able to use different vocabulary related to recycling.

In science prep 3 and 4 built their own solar ovens, inspired by Maria Telkes. They really enjoyed building the ovens and recording how the temperature increased.

Our Kindergarten and Reception class teachers have been very busy over the summer getting their classroom ready for their new class in September. They are looking forward to learning all about the children and their families.

During the Summer term our pupils have been learning all about different Occupations. We’ve been very lucky this term to have some of our wonderful parents and grandparents come into school to the talk to the children within our Kindergarten and Reception class about their Occupations. We learnt a lot about the different roles and responsibilities which are carried out on a daily basis by an accountant, a vet, a doctor, a postal worker, a scientist and a pharmacis. During these sessions, the children were confident to ask a lot of questions which extended their curiosity and knowledge of the world around them.

Our pupils enjoyed their end of year party on Friday to celebrate all their achievements and hard work this year. We would like wish our school leavers all the very best on their next chapter of their educational journey, we’re sure you’re all going to shine and achieve amazing things. ⭐️

Our pupils enjoyed a trip to Smithills farm for their end of year trip. 🐰🐷🐣🦙🐑🐄
The children took part in donkey rides, explored the reptile house, enjoyed a tractor ride, fed the donkeys, spent some time in the pet corner, feed the lambs & sheep and watched the cows being milked.

This term, Prep 5/6 have studied seasonal food where they have designed their own seasonal meals. Our pupils really enjoyed their cooking lessons where they created two dishes between them.
The children made a paprika chicken, honey roasted carrots, garlic roasted parsnips and rice dish and a chicken noodles with chilli, broccoli and spinach dish.
The children enjoyed tasting the different meals and evaluated their cooking skills and reflected on what they had learned along the way.

Thank you so much for all your donations for the 🇺🇦 Between the school and the nursery we have managed to get a massive amount of clothes, blankets, nappies, wipes, toiletries, sanitary product and food.

Our Key Stage 1 have enjoyed kicking off by exploring our local area looking for different types of habitats. They were able to find woodlands, grass and urban habitat.

Kicking off with a bit of colour mixing in our Reception and Kindergarten class. The children enjoyed using the primary colours to predict what new colours can be made and building on the children’s curiosity and knowledge of colours.
