On Friday afternoon Year 2 were using coins to make the same value with different coins. Children had to recognise the value of each coin, add together two or more coins and explain how they made the same amount a different ways.
Year 5 have had a fantastic week completing their Bikeability. Bikeability staff have continually fed back to staff how amazingly well behaved all the children have been, and what a joy they have been to teach. The year 5 staff are so so proud of them all, huge well done!!!
This morning year 1 and reception had a visit from Debbie who volunteers for Animal Aid. She taught us all about different animals and how we can look after them properly. We thought about the environment and what we can do to help animals in different habitats. Look at all of our contributions that Debbie has taken from us this morning she is going to distribute our donations to local animals charities! Well done reception and year 1! You are being amazing courageous advocates!
Our #30dayswild is back again, this time courtesy of our lovely Lexi! Photos 1 is of an Asian hornets nest which was in a garage in France when Lexi was there. It had to be removed as they are highly dangerous.
The second is a swallow’s nest which was in the garden shed. You can tell its a swallow with the colouring on its chin
and the two long thin tail feathers which help create a swallowtail.
Year 3 had a fun filled morning during their transition. We completed an orienteering task based on our Science topic where we identified all the stages of a plant’s life cycle, and then worked out the correct order to put them in.
The Elderly Courageous Advocacy group felt very proud this morning when they received their Dementia Friend badges. During their sessions on a Tuesday morning, they have been completing different activities to gain awareness of this syndrome. Now that they have their badges, they can spread awareness about this to others too!
The children in reception are working hard this week on their doubling skills! This is something new and we have made some printing butterflies to fold and double our numbers 
Great job reception 
On Monday 13th June Year 2 and Year 6 visited Al Azhar Mosque in South Shields. As part of our learning in RE we learnt about the five pillars of Islam and praying. Children had fantastic discussions with Daniel and Ismail from the Islamic Diversity. We then visited West Park for a packed lunch and a play in the park.
Year 1 have been continuing our learning on the Jewish religion, this week we have been learning about the Shema, an important Jewish prayer. We have created our own Torah scrolls and wrote our own prayers of forgiveness, love and thanks! Well done year 1 📜🙏👏
Yesterday for the 30 Days of Wild challenge, Rocco took part in the sensory challenge (listing things he could see, hear, feel, smell and touch) while on a day out with his family at Derwent Walk.
It was a lot of fun, and everyone got involved.
