Children in Year 2 are finding out about the World’s oceans and continents in their new Dimensions topic ‘Paddington’s Passport’.
So far we have found about human and physical features of countries around the world as well as in their own locality. Good travelling around the map Year 2!
Class 4 started their new Dimensions topic today- Never Eat Shredded Wheat. A Geography based unit all about learning about maps and the UK. They started today by exploring compasses. They thought about what a compass was before having a look at some themselves. They worked with their classmates to discover how the compass works and finding which way was north, south, east and west.
In early October Year 5 visited The Word in South Shields for an ICT session with the OpenZone staff. They helped the children use the Scratch coding software to create their own vibrant animations.
As part of Year 5’s space unit, they have looked at warm and cold colours. The children experimented with mixing primary colours and creating secondary. Later using this to bring their own planet to life.
As part of Year 5’s ‘Mission Control’ learning path. Class 12 planned their own space based comic strips. Later using the Chromebooks to log onto the internet and bringing them to life online.
On October 21st pupils were selected by Mr Houmark and John from Westoe RFC to attend the annual Boldon School rugby festival.
Games were played in a groups system with the Year 5’s taking on East Boldon, Hedworthfield and Forest View. They won all three to top the group.
It was fantastic to see the skills taught in Friday PE sessions pay off in proper tag games.
On October 20th Year 4 attended the annual football festival at Boldon School. Having been split into three teams they played against East Boldon, Hedworth Lane, Hedworthfield and Ashley Primary.
After winning all 5 matches, West Boldon ‘C’ won the group to claim their winners medals (pictured).
During October the Year 5/6 Football side got back up and running. They’ve played three matches in the Newton League held at Boldon School. Coached this year by Mr Houmark and Miss Fraser.
A squad of 14 children were selected to attend the training group which has recently finished for the winter but will return in February time.
In our Commando Joe lesson this week our task was to help Goldilocks cross the river. The children are really getting to grips with looking at and pondering the best way to use the materials available. I was very impressed with how they are sharing ideas and listening to their classmates.
Awesome job Class 4!
