Welcome to Anston Greenlands Primary School

Robins and Chaffinches launched their new topic today with a fun-packed Wow Day. During this term we will be learning about our local area, discovering areas of interest, identifying important buildings and learning about local history.  The children were very excited when they found out that during the term, we will be designing and building our own mini golf course, which will incorporate buildings found in Anston and Dinnington. Today we started our project by venturing out into our local area and looking at local buildings, including identifying some of our own homes on the way.  Back at school, we started making models of the buildings that we saw on our walk and we had our first taste of playing golf. At the end of the term we will be inviting parents in to school to play golf and to evaluate our ‘Mini Anston’ golf course.

Children in Wrens, Robins and Chaffinches have had a wonderful week. With parties, pantos and even a visit from Santa!

The children were extremely well behaved on our trip to see Jack and the Beanstalk and loved all of the cheers, claps and boo’s!

It’s been a wonderful week…oh yes it has! 😉

Children in Robins and Chaffinches have been busy learning about where food comes from. As part of this they have made fresh bread and made a delicious fruit salad.

Today we have celebrated the European Day of Languages.  At Anston Greenlands, we enjoy learning French, therefore it was lovely to see children coming to school dressed in the colours of the French flag to celebrate this special day. We started the morning by eating a selection of croissants, pain au chocolats and brioches, followed by a glass of jus d’orange.  Children were also invited to take part in a competition and prizes were awarded for those who came dressed as a French monument or a famous French person.  We were blown away by the creativity of some of the entries: it was a very difficult decision to choose the winners!

Over the past few weeks, children have also been learning a new song in French for the day.  Please see the videos below.

It has been lovely to hear French being spoken throughout the day all around school; from children in FS2 through to Y6.

Merci beaucoup to all the children; vous êtes fantastique!

Robins and Chaffinches had a very important mission today when a dragon was spotted on CCTV. We went on a dragon hunt and found some surprising evidence. Anston Greenlands has actually been visited by a dragon! The children found footprints, ashes, scorch marks, scratches on the trees and even glowing dragon eggs!

When we got back to class we found that we had been visited by our very own class dragon who brought a book and some delicious dragon fruit to try. We began reading ‘The boy who grew dragons’ and tried the fruit. What an exciting start to the new school year!
