Welcome to Anston Greenlands Primary School

The Snowy Owls had a fantastic, packed day at Crucial Crew in Hellaby on Monday 3rd October. In the morning, Y6 pupils learnt about knife crime and hate crime and had a go at spotting the signs of Child Criminal Exploitation. Additionally, the children took part in a courtroom scenario (with a rather scary peek into to a prison cell) and found out about how to stay safe near water.

Over the afternoon, the Snowy Owls found out about responsible public transport use and how to stay safe when crossing the road, as well as the consequences of arson and what to do in the event of a house fire.

The pupils threw themselves into each activity with enthusiasm. Their contributions to the discussions and scenarios were superb. Adults from school were very proud of the children’s excellent knowledge and their fabulous performance skills. Throughout the day, pupils were very lucky to work with a wide range of knowledgeable professionals from a variety of backgrounds.

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!

The Y5s and Y6s had a fantastic morning rockpooling on Filey Brigg. They managed to find so many of the animals that they had been learning about in school. Can you spot the hermit crab?

The Y5s and Y6s have spent Wednesday exploring Whitby, sketching the Abbey and enjoying the beach.

The Snowy Owls and Golden Eagles ended Tuesday with a fantastic bonfire.

As you can see, they have also spent a lot of time having fun on the beach and creating natural art.
