As part of Year 1’s new Art topic ‘Rain and Sunrays’, we have been creating our own weather symbols in the forest garden.
Year 5 spent the day exploring and creating circuits online using Crumble. They had the opportunity to design, test and experiment with different circuit configurations.
Year 1 had an incredible London-themed day, dressed in red, white, and blue to celebrate our topic based around the capital! We kicked off with London-themed maths, comparing numbers and solving addition and subtraction word problems. Our writing took us on exciting adventures as we wrote our own London-inspired stories.
In computing, we programmed robots to navigate the city, and of course, no London day would be complete without a screening of Paddington! We even found time for a delightful tea party… thankfully, nobody slipped on a jam tart! It was a fantastic day full of learning, laughter, and a little bit of London magic.
Year 3 have had a fun filled morning working with their partners to solve flashback four questions based on our length and perimeter unit we have recently completed. Within that they also had some extra challenges to complete based on fractions which is our next unit after half term!
Year 3 worked very hard and impressed us with their knowledge and teamwork.
Year 6 starting the morning with ‘Poetry and Pancakes’ – sharing poems and developing our oracy skills by reading out loud.
Year 5 have been using Kleki to create some abstract art images today. We used graphics software and digital photography to edit our images, well done Year 5!
Year 4 have had an amazing introduction to their next science topic of “Changing Matter” that they will be starting after half term by a visit to the National Glass Centre.
We performed a range of experiments to see if our predictions would be correct when water was added to different substances and watched how glass is blown to create a beautiful wavy bowl after heating it to temperatures of 1,100 degrees!
To end a brilliant day, we planned and made our own glass designs that will be fired in the ovens at 780 degrees and collected over the holidays,
We are so excited for next term!
A group of children from Year 2, competed in a South Tyneside School Sports Gymnastic Event. Mrs Churchward and Mr McIntosh were so proud of them competing individually to represent Bede Burn and finishing 9th out of 19 school groups.
As part of Year 2’s science topic ‘Uses of Materials’, we were testing the strength, texture and absorbency of different types of paper.
On Monday, Reception created some transitional art. We created pictures of Mary’s garden from the nursery rhyme ‘Mary, Mary Quite Contrary’ linked to our topic ‘Stories and Rhymes’. We used different materials and our imagination to create our own flowers and shells.
