🌍🇬🇭 Learning beyond the classroom! Our Reception and KS1 children recently visited a Ghanaian café (hosting in our WAC facility!), to deepen their understanding of Ghanaian culture, traditions and food. Through this hands-on experience, the children developed their cultural awareness, explored similarities and differences between cultures, and used their senses to investigate new ingredients and flavours. They showed curiosity, asked questions and enthusiastically tried delicious new foods! ❤️🍽️ A wonderful opportunity to bring our learning to life and celebrate the richness of different cultures. 🌍✨Nobia & sonsRichmond Methodist Primary and Nursery School

On Friday, we enjoyed lots of fun activities for RMS Mental Health Day. 💚

🍂 In Swaledale and Malhamdale, we’ve been enjoying The Leaf Thief! During Drawing Club, the children imagined the squirrel following a trail of leaves to find the character hiding them. Their ideas were fantastic! 🐿️

This week in Silverdale, we have continued our life cycle learning by exploring the fascinating life cycle of a butterfly. Our favourite story this week has been The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which the children thoroughly enjoyed. Inspired by the story, we created some wonderful caterpillars using potato printing.

The children have been amazing at remembering each stage of the butterfly life cycle and confidently naming them all. We are so proud of how much they have learned!

This week in Ribblesdale we have continued sharing books that link to our natural world. We have enjoyed The Woolly Bear Caterpillar, The Cautious Caterpillar, My Butterfly Bouquet, All About Ladybirds and What the Ladybird Heard. These stories inspired us to look closely at the life cycles of butterflies and ladybirds, exploring the amazing changes they go through as they grow. The children also enjoyed helping to name and label the different body parts of these fascinating mini beasts.

On Tuesday, we loved having everyone together for our Nursery Leavers’ Event and Summer Stay and Play. It was wonderful to share some of our favourite memories from the past year. 🎶 Our fantastic nursery leavers made us incredibly proud with their beautiful singing. 🎶 Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this special occasion.

In maths, we have been consolidating our learning about repeating patterns. The children have enjoyed creating, continuing and identifying repeating patterns using a range of resources, 2D and 3D shapes and natural objects.

In Swaledale and Malhamdale we have continued our Literacy Tree text ‘Iggy Peck Architect’. We have been discussing and designing our dream home. Their designs have included rainbow houses, Liverpool colours, houses shaped like footballs or animals and have included tennis courts 🎾 , football pitches ⚽️ and swimming pools 🏊!

In maths we have been using our problem solving skills to work out how many animals or people could fit in Mr Gumpy’s boat. We could only have 8 legs in the boat and we worked out all the different combinations of animals and people that could be in the boat. The children then had a go at drawing their own boats and combinations of animals to make 8 legs in the boat.
