Year 1’s visit to the Great North Museum

10th May 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 1 had a great time exploring at the Great North Museum. They learnt all about fossils and hunted for artefacts. This was a great start to our new topic on Mary Anning 🦕

They took part in a workshop where we were able to touch and explore real fossils. They were shocked when they were given some fossilised dinosaur poop to explore! The children’s knowledge and theorising were super impressive and Jo from the museum thought they were palaeontologists of the future.

Comparing numbers up to 50

29th April 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Class 4 were challenged to solve a word problem comparing two numbers up to 50 today.

The challenge was to find which of the children had swam the most laps. They used base ten to represent the number of laps, splitting the tens and ones. They discussed with their partners if they should compare the tens or ones numbers. The children also used a number line as another way to compare numbers.

Parts of a Plant

5th April 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Class 3 enjoyed exploring the parts of a plant as part of our Science lesson. We took them apart, looked carefully at them and then reassembled them before labelling the main parts of the plant.

We have also been looking at length in our maths lesson so compared the lengths of the stem with our partner.

Year 1’s visit to Boldon Community Centre

4th April 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

As part of our current theme theme “Unity in the Community” class four visited the Roberts Room in Boldon Community Centre and met with members of Boldon Heritage and Miners groups. We heard about the colliery in Boldon, real life experiences of working down the mine and school life in the past.

The children were shocked to learn In the 1960s boys as young as 15 would work down the pit and that 200 years ago children as young as 5 would have worked worked in the mines.

Everyone was very impressed at the super questions the children asked. We also had the opportunity to look at some of the artefacts displayed in the room.

The session was finished off with us finding out about the heritage groups current project to create a permanent memorial to commemorate the soldiers and miners from Boldon’s past – a perfect example of unity in the community.

Class 4, myself, Miss Skiggs and Miss Bellman couldn’t be prouder of you all – perfect representatives of our school. A big thank you to Sean, Tom and Bill for giving up your time and for your superb presentation.

The BIG Triangle

29th March 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

The sheer joy when you solve a maths puzzle! ❤️

Class 4 had the “best fun” (so they told me) in maths today! The BIG triangle puzzle was such a fun way to practise rapid recall of number bonds for 10 and to develop team work and resilience.

Blue and Yellow for Ukraine

25th March 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Today, children were invited to come to school to raise awareness, raise funds and show solidarity with Ukraine. They were able to come to school in non-uniform, wearing something blue, yellow or a combination of the two. We are really proud of how our children embraced this – just look at these lovely photos!

Note to parents: Thank you so much for your donations. We will be collecting again at the KS2 Mother’s Day Assemblies and then we will let you know how much we have raised for the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal.

Helping Simba in Commando Joe’s

18th March 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 1 have had an awesome Commando Joe session today. Their missions have recently been based within the story of The Lion King. Today they had to help Simba refill the watering hole after Scar had been defeated and left Pride Rock.

The children were tasked with moving water as quickly and effectively as they could. There were some fantastic ideas how to use the resources to transport the water. Brilliant team work.

British Science Week 2022

18th March 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 1’s British Science week task took them down to the Secret Garden this afternoon to search for worms. The children were all surprised to learn that there are three kinds of worms and tried hard to identify the ones we found. They used string to measure the worms. Two groups measured the same worm and were astounded to find it had stretched itself from 16 cms to 23 cms!!! The children were also intrigued to watch one wonderful working worm do a poo!
