Science week has been lots of fun. My Naylor has been in showing some brilliantly engineered machines. In the classroom we have looked at how static electricity works with balloons and tissue paper newts! Some tried it on their hair too!

Science week this week has included a treat of being able to use some Virtual Reality headsets to go up into space and explore some planets. We all learnt lots of facts and were very excited about looking in space. You will have to ask your children what we saw though, as we haven't got any photos of what we were all looking at!

Also in Science week we have looked at the way the colours & sugar from the skittles dissolve in warm water, diffusing through the water to form a pretty pattern.

Proctor and Gamble kindly visited us this week. Children got to wear lab coats and feel like real scientists, as they were shown how water can be cleaned to help those in places that don't have a fresh supply out of a tap like us.

Its always LOTS of FUN making bubbles!

World Book Day 2019

Week 2 - To celebrate World Book Day we read 'Me ... Jane' by Patrick Donnell. It is a story about the British scientist Dr Jane Goodall. We learnt all about her life and work with chimpanzees. We made our own chimpanzee puppets and learnt how to make them move, working in teams of three. The puppets can now be seen hanging around our classroom.

Week 1 Spring 2 - In RE today we discussed what 'nature' meant to us and how it made us feel. We combined the: creation of a card illustrated with nature and our handwriting to produce a card for someone special to us.

Week 1 Spring 2 - ICT. We have been writing our own algorithms telling us how to build our Duplo models.

English - We have been reading "The Whale's Song" and as part of this listened to real whales and the sounds they made. Together with the pictures of some whales (and Orcas) children had fun writing extended noun phrases about whales!

Newcastle Academy are back for Spring 2 - This week the key to the game played was "Teamwork" to try to win the game.

Our Superheroes art work has finally been completed. The children worked really hard to create a paper collage to act as a background to their own superhero. Well done. They look fabulous!

Raising money for Children In Need

Our finished clay sculptures - we could make a whole person or head

A judo taster session in school today. The children worked well in pairs and enjoyed the tasks they were set.

Remembrance Day - KS1 had a carousel of activities. With Mrs Roberts we looked at why we use the poppy as a symbol of remembrance.

P.E. with Newcastle Football Academy - Children raced against other teams to complete a course with jumping using two legs, one leg and throwing a beanbag into the hoop target

Year 2 enjoyed an activity packed afternoon of Multi-Skills at Chantry. There were 10 stations around the hall. All children had a turn at completing each activity. We are proud of the children who all behaved fabulously, not only at the Multi-skills but also walking there and back. Thank you to all the parent helpers we had too. Well done Year 2! Year 1 stayed at school and enjoyed some Maths activities and Reading with Year 3 children. They also said they had a great afternoon and Miss Halliday reported that they were all great. Well done Year 1!

More Football Academy games - children got to be Kings and Queens for a while playing a game which involved jumping with one or two feet. They had to challenge the Kings or Queens by playing Rock, paper, scissors. If they won, they got to be the King or Queen instead!

Outdoor Learning (11.10.18) Today we had to identify three different types of leaf: An oak, a horse chestnut and beech leaf. We also found some of the fruits they produce.

Prayer Spaces for RE - We watched and listened to a young child, in another country, tell us how far she had to walk for water (8 miles altogether). We saw that it wasn't clean water either. Children were asked to draw or write a thought or prayer about those who do not have clean water. Some fabulous work was done. We then dropped our thoughts and prayers into water whilst thinking about those people less fortunate.

In Science we are learning about the benefit of exercise. Children planned their own workouts to exercise the whole of their bodies. They did a great job using lots of different ideas - throwing and catching beanbags, hula hoop skipping, hopping, jumping, star jumps, dancing and running!

Newcastle United Academy have been coming in to teach agility, balance and coordination skills. Have a look at some of the children enjoying different games.

Pirate Day - HAPPY pirates & FIERCE pirates. SHIVER MY TIMBERS!

Our TOPIC work on ALL ABOUT ME led us to create our own 'Family Trees'. Thank you to all our parents who helped to fill these in at home.
