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!
On Wednesday, our Year 3 and ARC 2 pupils stepped back in time for an Ancient Greek adventure!
A fantastic day of history, storytelling, and hands-on learning!
Year 5 had an absolutely amazing time on their trip to the Centre for Life! From exploring the wonder of the planetarium to getting involved in the hands-on interactive zones, the students were fully immersed in an exciting world of science, space and technology.
The visit was the perfect complement to their current theme ‘Mission Control’, helping to deepen their understanding of the universe and scientific concepts in a fun, engaging environment. They learned so much about space exploration, robotics, and more, all while actively participating in experiments and displays.
This experience really brought their classroom learning to life, sparking curiosity and excitement about STEM subjects!
Year 1/2 enjoyed a visit from local storyteller Chris Bostock today. Chris visited to tell us some enchanting tales about animals. This links with our current topic ‘Happily Ever After’. The children enjoyed joining in with the actions and words and were fascinated by his various voices and sound effects!
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.
We had Zoolab into school today with Year 3 and the ARC. The children were so brave and loved being able to hold and pet all the various creatures… we’re not quite as sure some of the staff loved the experience!
