Here are this week’s STARS! It was lovely to hear just how many of our children have been meeting their Gold Standards, well done, everyone!
Last week, our Year 1/2 students had an amazing time with the OpenZone exploring Lego Spike! They worked together to code, debug and build exciting projects, developing their teamwork and problem-solving skills along the way. It was fantastic to see their creativity and resilience in action!
A huge thank you to OpenZone for an inspiring hands-on experience! We can’t wait to apply what we’ve learned back in the classroom!
ARC1 and 2 had a cracking afternoon welcoming parents, carers, grandparents and siblings for some Easter fun!
There were plenty of egg-citing activities on offer – card making , painting egg decorations , and a school-wide Easter egg hunt ! We also shared some tasty hot cross buns and drinks together.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us – it was a joy to have you in school and celebrate together!
We had a visit from an RE Storyteller who went through different workshops with Reception, Year 1/2, Year 3, Year 5 and Year 6 about components of the Easter story.
The children were really enjoyed the stories and asked lots of questions.
More forest school fun this week for our ARC children! Today they have been learning to whittle willow sticks with a peeler!
We love our French lessons in Class 10. As a short brain break Madame Smith thought us a playground game to sing and play.
Class 10 have been exploring angles and shapes in their geometry maths unit. They learnt about acute, right angles and obtuse angles. Then used this knowledge to learn about the different triangles. To consolidate their knowledge they completed some practical work sorting and ordering angles as well as using geo-boards to make a variety of triangles.
Year 3 had a brilliant day at the Theatre Royal Newcastle today!
We had the opportunity to see the parts of the theatre that the general public don’t get to see. We saw dressing rooms, music rooms, backstage, under the stage and on the stage! What a view!!
Then we tried out the seats in all the levels, learned about the ghost of lady grey and even had a seat in the royal box.
Then we had an acting master class with Rhian. She was amazing and got us excited about theatre and creating our own plays!
Some of us would love to work in the theatre in the future, whether on the stage, behind the scenes or one of the many hidden roles we learned about today!
What a busy day!
Year 4 have enjoyed their learning in their Viking topic, including an immersive day learning about battle formations, archeology, how Viking Tribes would have made decisions and playing Viking games.
As part of their learning in class the children learnt about the importance of signs and symbols to the Vikings, they incorporated some of these signs into their own models of Viking Longboats.
Earlier this week Year 3 went on an amazing visit to the Life Centre in Newcastle.
There, they took part in a digestive system workshop which linked to their science learning, before exploring the centre and its attractions, including a visit to the Planetarium where they learned all about the Solar System.
