Year 5 had a fab Forest School session last week with their friends from Bede Burn. We explored our new DT topic, looking at pneumatics and creating pneumatic systems. We thought about our sticky knowledge from our previous learning around states of matter and forces, and used this to help us. Great work Year 5!
Y5 had a fantastic time at the Oriental Museum in Durham yesterday to launch their Dynamic Dynasties topic, building their substantive and disciplinary knowledge in the morning before competing art and oracy-based tasks in the afternoon. Well done, Y5!
Year 4 were extremely lucky to spend the morning with Garry and Jane from Able Construction, who have been working alongside our school, to create something for our nature garden.
The children researched and designed some plans for an outdoor work bench, which Garry then helped them make! How amazing is their finished product?! We can’t wait to put it to use!
A big thanks to Able Construction for all of their time and help…they have even kindly donated some wood to the school to help reinforce our chicken and duck coop!
So, year 4 didn’t let the rain stop their fun this morning! We made the most of it and enjoyed our indoor sports day activities in the hall led by Miss Marley and Mr Barron!
Well done Year 4 on your fab sportsmanship today!
What an AMAZING day!!!! Year 4 have loved their morning for Fit for Fun, sampling tennis, football, rounders, rugby and lots of fun games! We ended with a whole school picnic, celebrating all things bright beautiful! It is so lovely to see our school community come together
This week for our worship challenge in Year 4, Year 2 gave us the task of creating our own posters to spread awareness of plastic pollution and protecting our environment. Year 2 inspired us to spread the word after their amazing efforts as Agents of Change!
Year 3 and 4 have had the BEST afternoon seeing a live band perform! We spoke with the musicians about different genres of music, instruments, call & response and showed off our funky dance moves!
Year 4 had a jam packed day on Friday for their Far Away Friday. Linked to our Ancient Civilisations topic, we spent the day focusing on Egypt. We completed a class quiz on all things Egypt, learning some new facts.
Then, as part of our new English topic of instructions, we looked at a recipe for Egyptian flatbread, thinking about the features of instructions, then following these to make our very own! We made our mixture, leaving it to prove, then baked our bread in the afternoon.
We also made our own Egyptian necklaces, thinking about how we could recreate Egyptian patterns. What a fab day Year 4!
What an AMAZING day Year 4 had doing their sponsored walk to raise money for Chuff charity, as part of our Agent of Change action plan!
We walked all the way from Seaburn to South Shields, with some very much needed ice lollies at the end (big thanks to Mrs O’Doherty’s Dad!)
We are so so proud of Year 4 and all they have achieved today Thanks so much to the parents who were able to come along to support us!
