On Thursday, Reception enjoyed a fun-filled activity morning. Before break, they listened to the story of Elma, followed by lots of Elmer activities. After break, they brushed up on their newly acquired French skills (from diversity day), learning a French poem and playing lots of French games.
As part of Reception’s RE topic, we visited the Buddhist Temple in Hebburn.

As part of Reception’s topic ‘Move it’, they visited Jarrow School to participate in some sporting activities, led by Year 10 Child Development students.

- Reception enjoyed a picnic and play at the park with their buddies.

Year 6 had a fabulous time today, with their buddies, at Valley View Park.

As part of Reception’s topic ‘On the Beach’, we have been talking about how we can look after our beaches and the impact rubbish has on the ocean and animals.

Reception really enjoyed Aspirations day.

So impressed with Reception on their Diversity Day visit to France. They read French storybooks and learned to say, “I am called …..” in French. Well done Reception.
On Friday, Reception went on a great adventure to Edinburgh Zoo. We enjoyed the metro, train, bus and not to mention seeing all the amazing animals. We caught a glimpse of Addy the new baby sloth and we were so excited to sneak a peek at David Attenbara, the baby capybara! After waving goodbye to all the animals, we enjoyed our McDonalds on the journey home, with very tired legs and teachers too!

On Friday, Reception enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tasting the rainbow! We tried raspberry, watermelon, melon, kiwi, pineapple, plum, lemon, mango and blueberries.
We were very resilient and tried new fruits that we haven’t had before or ones that we didn’t think that we liked. Some very funny faces when trying the lemon!
