Mayfield Primary School

Girls in Year 3-5 took part in an in-school football tournament today after school. Well done to all 👏👏

Well done to our Year 5 footballers who represented school in a match against Littlemoor last week.

We love to celebrate children’s sporting achievements outside of school.

Our wonderful Reception children enjoying their provision this week, exploring, creating and learning through play 😊

Reception have been exploring the water tray with lemons and limes 🍋🍈 squeezing, pouring and investigating using their senses.

Reception have been busy being palaeontologists in the tuff tray, carefully digging, brushing and uncovering hidden dinosaur fossils 🦖🪶

Year 2 had a fantastic time exploring another country through a food tasting lesson! 🌍🍴 We are so proud of how adventurous everyone was trying new flavours and tastes.

We have had a wonderful morning in Forest School. The woods look beautiful, the children talked about what they could see; leaves, flowers, feathers and twigs. We found lots of mini beasts under logs and stones. We made a snail habitat in the blue tray with lots of leaves and grasses for them to eat. We made sure that all the bugs and mini beast were put back in their homes at the end of our session. Ms Brodie told a story about Nimble the owl and his woodland friends whose trees were burnt down. The children made some new homes for Nimble and his friends to live in with soft leaves and twigs. 🦉🌳🌺

In Nursery our Rising 3s are practising their counting skills. We have different items to count inside each bag. We learn that it is easier to point and count the items when they are in a line so we empty our bags and line up the items. We are careful to point to each item and say one number for each as we count them.

We are learning about patterns in Maths. We know that a pattern is repeated which means it has the same thing over and over again. We use pegs and boards to make a 2 part repeating pattern. If we are unsure what colour comes next in our pattern we say it to ourselves to help us hear what the next part will be. 🔴🟡🔴🟡

Brilliant to see our children taking part in orienteering at Stoneleigh Park, organised by the Oldham Schools Partnership. Alongside Higher Failsworth, they demonstrated excellent map-reading skills and fantastic teamwork throughout! 🧭👏
