Y1T enjoyed a coastal walk to explore special features of the seaside. We began at Trow Rocks and spotted lots of human and physical features. We even stopped for a delicious ice cream on the way, making our trip extra special!
Year 2 had so much fun at St Mary’s Lighthouse. We created art using a range of natural materials on the beach. Next, we observed the seals soaking up the sun and having a little swim. Then we climbed all of the 137 steps to reach the top of the lighthouse for an amazing view. Finally, we explored the rock pools and identified different sea creatures.
This term Year 2 have been reading ‘The Magic Faraway Tree’ by Enid Blyton.
Today, we had the pleasure of attending the opening screening of ‘The Magic Faraway Tree’ at Cineworld Boldon.
The children were very well behaved, had wonderful manners and were fantastic representatives for our school.
We had the most amazing time and enjoyed our drinks and snacks !!!!
Year 2 have just started their new Geography topic ‘Continents and Oceans’. This week we used the globes and atlases to name and find the seven continents and five oceans around the world. We have been learning some songs to help us remember them.
Our topic in Geography this half term is ‘Our School and Locality’. We have been exploring the features of our school and local area and have even learned some simple directions!
First we used a compass to find North, East, South and West. Then we used these directions to give our partners instructions to find treasure hidden in the yard. We had to take photos of what we found and had so much fun!
Finally we were challenged us to use maps of our school to find objects hidden in the grounds. We had a great time exploring!
Year 3 had an amazing trip to Castle Eden Dene Nature Reserve! We enjoyed a sunny, beautiful day in the nature park with some fantastic activities: a fun walk, “Meet a Tree”, a bug hunt, creative den building, and an exciting exploration of the woods to discover facts about the Amazon rainforest in Brazil.
The children were so well-behaved and we all had a fantastic, fun day in the fresh air!
This week Reception had lots of fun designing and creating ocean vehicles. We talked about the variety of jobs people do around the ocean. We showed fantastic teamwork, and improved our thinking and problem solving skills. We also learned lots of interesting facts about how to keep our oceans safe for all living things. Look at some of our amazing creations!!!
Y2L had a lovely time on our coastal walk along South Shields seafront. We used what we know to identify human and physical features of a seaside location and used our mapping skills to create our own maps.
YRW had a super exciting day at Hall Hill Farm. All the children fed, held and stroked many different animals. We also went on a tractor ride. It was so much fun!!!.
In Geography this half term we are learning all about the South Shields coastline. We have looked at a range of photos recently and identified the human and physical features. We will be using and sketching simple maps of the area next week.
