Year One have been exploring how to solve their calculations by using concrete materials.
Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed our trip to see Aladdin at Boldon School. We laughed and marvelled at the wonderful acting and singing from the Boldon School Theatre troupe. Hopefully we will see some of our current Year 6 in future performances!
In Spring 2 Year 3 will be reading George’s Marvellous Medicine. We will be writing our own instructions for our own ‘marvellous’ creations using Roald Dahl style language, before moving on to writing and performing our own poems based on the book.
Enjoy the trailer for the book ahead of reading the book.

Children have been learning about the Amazon rainforest both during their topic lessons and while reading their class novel (Journey to the River Sea). As part of this process, children have created their own advert to advertise the Amazon and the experience and tourist would gain by visiting it. Children are currently typing up their leaflets read for display.
Last week was mental health awareness week. In our PSHE sessions, year 6 worked around the main theme of bravery. We thought about brave characters we know and love, such as Cinderella, Jack (from Jack and the Beanstalk), Hansel and Gretel, Peter Pan and Little Red Riding Hood. We discussed how they were brave and how we have also been brave in our own lives too.
We then created our own brave character and wrote why they were brave. Here are two examples –
We have started our new novel – ‘I was there …Titanic’ which explores a young third class passenger travelling on board Titanic. We wrote setting descriptions, imagining we were Daisy boarding Titanic at Southampton dock, using our senses, to soak in the atmosphere and describe her new surroundings.
Class 2 won attendance-opoly last week, their class got the best attendance of the week and so won the chance to move around our school game board.
The reward the won was baking.
The children chose to make chocolate chip cookie cakes.
The smell was so delicious Class 1 could help themselves from joining in. Thank you Class 2 for being such good friends and letting them help.
The children in Class 1 and 2 are working really hard in phonics. They are beginning to show how they can use their new skills in classroom activities.
The children have been exploring the new word builders, where they have been practising letter recognition and word blending.
Thank you to all of our families who came along to the Reception Christmas songs and craft morning. It was such a special moment when we took a second and noticed just how many of you had taken the time out of your day to join us.
The children have worked hard to learn the songs and our two soloists were so brave. All the children did us proud and we’re sure you’d agree.
The children loved the opportunity to craft with their mums, dad, grandparents and other family members also. Hopefully, someone with spot Santa with their binoculars on Christmas Eve.
Reception children had a brilliant time at their first school Christmas party.
They all looked fabulous in their party outfits, some of the children told us Santa had sent them their party clothes early.
We played games, showed off our fancy footwork, had a lovely party tea and then the man himself had time to visit. It was a very exciting afternoon.
