Y6 SAT practise in the sunshine ☀️ – maths problem solving and reasoning.
As part of our topic ‘Animal Safari’, Reception have been looking at how to take care of animals. We used the iPads to test our knowledge and look after our own pet.
Year 4 had their first Tennis session in P.E. on Wednesday. We discussed the fundamentals of Tennis and reviewed what we already knew about it. We looked at the handshake grip and maintaining control of the ball whilst developing our agility, balance and coordination. We practised catching and controlling the ball using our racket before we worked with our partner to accurately hit the ball to themwhere we tried our best to be the pair with the highest rally. Miss Barron was impressed with our Tennis skills so far!
Year 3 had a fantastic time at the Discovery Museum in Newcastle.
When we arrived we split into groups to explore some of the exhibits including the Romans and working lives of men and women across the years.
After lunch we had our workshop all about light and shadows. The children each made a camera obscura and had lots of fun! It was an excellent introduction to our new science topic this term.
Year 5 started their Golf topic in PE on Tuesday⛳️☀️ . We have been practising striking the ball accurately depending on how far away our target was.
Before the holidays, Reception were joined by their families to complete our sponsored 3km walk to raise money for hedgehogs!
We walked all the way to West Park and completed a Spring hunt and headed into the park to play, before heading back to school to complete our 3km.
We want to say a BIG thank you to all of our amazing Reception children and their families for taking part, and also raising money to support the hedgehogs – raising an amazing £589.29! Wow!
Year 5 began their new topic in History today; Groundbreaking Greeks. We looked at the different Greek periods of time and explored the geography of Ancient Greece
Year Four have spent time using resources to practically divide numbers into decimals. This helped us to grasp a good understanding of tenths before we began working in our books. We’ve made a great start! Well done Year Four!
As part of their art topic ‘Animal’, Year Four have been learning a new skill in lino printing. Using carving tools, they carved a picture of a peacock feather into pieces of Lino. This is a very tricky process as pressing too hard will make deep gouges in the Lino, therefore holding the tools at a smaller angle makes it possible to create thin, intricate lines.
Once this was complete, the tiles were then painted to resemble peacock feathers, before being printed, using rollers, onto paper. We hope you like our results!
Year Four got off to an “eggcellent” start to the holidays by completing an Easter Egg Hunt around the Forest Garden, just like they have been writing in class, as a set of instructions. They all had a brilliant time and can’t wait to enjoy the holidays!
Happy Easter everyone!
