We will rock you!

28th February 2024Miss K. Wilkinson

What a fab morning!

We have had our very own launch event which introduced the children to Rocksteady workshops that will be held in school. Today gave the children a chance to try out the instruments and learn all about being a musician in a band!

Rocksteady is an incredible opportunity for the children to learn to play their favourite songs in their very own band with a choice of drums, keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar or vocals. Lessons will take place every week during school time.

As well learning new musical skills, lessons also help the children with their confidence, wellbeing, social skills and teamwork. These fun and inclusive lessons are taught by highly trained, professional musicians who know how to inspire a life-long love of music.

At the end of each term each band will perform a concert for the school and their families, so you can see how far they have come!

School Council visit to Pizza Express

6th February 2024Miss K. Wilkinson

Our school council loved their morning trip to Newcastle and Pizza Express to make their own pizza margarita as a reward for all their hard work. They were a credit to the school as always.

When Nissan came to visit Year 1/2

18th January 2024Miss K. Wilkinson

Today Year 1/2 were visited by some staff at Nissan. They showed them all the different kinds of cars they make at the factory.

The children then had a go at designing their own car before creating some with Lego. The best car design and best Lego creations all received a Nissan lunchbox as a prize!

We definitely have some future car designers in Key Stage 1!

 

KS1 visit to St. Nicholas Church

7th December 2023Miss K. Wilkinson

KS1 have had a lovely afternoon visiting St Nicholas Church and talking to Reverend Paul. Rev. Paul told them all about how they recognise Advent in church and they even sang some Christmas songs. The children listened so well, sang beautifully, and asked lots of insightful questions!

Class 6 News!

20th October 2023Miss K. Wilkinson

This half term Year 1/2’s Dimensions topic has been all about the media and broadcasting.

This week the children in Class 6 created their very own class news broadcast.

They chose their role as either news presenter (which involved presenting each news report to the camera), camera operator (which required a very steady hand!), or story researcher (which involved going around school to find out what is going on in other classes and writing a script).

Every single child in the class was involved in the finished product in some way. We definitely have some future broadcasters and reporters in the making! Well done Class 6!
