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 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!
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!
As part of our Rainbow Day celebrations, Class 3 dressed in bright colours, shared stories celebrating differences and made fingerprint rainbows that we will display to support diversity.
Year 1 have had a fun packed day at Northumberland Zoo today. We looked closely at some minibeasts and watched a birds of prey display. We explored the zoo, wandering through ‘Wallaby Walkabout’ and ‘Lemur Woods’. The children saw many animals that they had not encountered before, such as capybaras, lemurs, tapirs, otters, snow leopards and prairie dogs. The children were particularly interested in watching the fruit bats at feeding time!
The Year One children this term are following a topic theme called “Going Wild”. In art we have had to explore the technique of printing. We found a little out about Andy Warhol, especially his series of work called “endangered species”. We then explored animal patterns and tried sketching out some of our own. We picked our favourite pattern and then transferred it on to styrofoam to make our own printing tile. We finished our work by exploring how to use a brayer and printing ink to create our own printed patterns. The children had a lot of fun and were amazed at their creations.
Class 3 took advantage of the lovely weather this afternoon. We took our art lesson outdoors, where we sketched different animal patterns as part of our ‘Going Wild’ topic.
Year One came together to celebrate Pyjamarama with cosy blankets, hot chocolate and some of our favourite bedtime stories read by Miss Smith
Class 4are learning about the famous palaeontologist Mary Anning this term in history. Today they recreated one of her famous fossil finds – the ithyosaur. The children estimated how long 5.2metres was and then used a trundle wheel to measure the distance out. They then used the Kapla blocks to build the likeness of the ithyosaur.
Today Class 3 were fossil hunters, just like Mary Anning! The children have been learning about Mary Anning’s life and her discoveries. Today we found our own real fossils in the sand, we looked carefully at them and used adjectives to describe them. The children were amazed to find real fossilised shark teeth and poo!!
