This year Hadrian’s Wall is celebrating its 1900th anniversary. Years 1 to 6 took part in online workshops delivered by Tyne and Wear Museums as part of their ‘Virtual Hadrian’s Wall Day’.
We are working on a very exciting project in school. We have all been learning about Hadrian’s Wall and every child has made their own ‘fact brick’. We look forward to sharing the finished project with you soon!
Here are some pictures of our bricks. Can you guess what we are building?
Spring is on its way and to a keen observer, the earliest signs of the changing seasons are everywhere. Many of us love to watch nature waking after winter.
Spring is a busy time for trees, they are ready to burst into leaves when there’s enough sunlight.
As our season is changing from Winter to Spring, we have been learning about the signs of Spring.
This week we went for a walk around out school grounds to see if we could find any of the signs of Spring.
We saw buds on the trees, bees and butterflies, daffodils blooming and daisies growing.
We saw our first sign of a bumblebees and butterflies, Spring is definitely on its way!
This month we were very excited to be able to celebrate our Reader’s of the month on World Book Day! The children have been chosen because of their fantastic achievements in Reading at school and at home.
Listen to the story the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch. We would like you to write a few sentences explain what is your favourite part of the story and why.

Using the story, the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch we would like you to draw a picture of the lighthouse. You could use pens, pencils or even paint it if you have paint.

We will also be on Google Classroom at 11.30am. We hope to see you there 🙂
This week we have been looking at the Lighthouse Keepers lunch.
Today, we want you to listen to the story on the video again and share the story with someone in your house.
Your main job is to then add capital letters and full stops to the sentences below. On some paper, write the sentences out and then correct them.
Maths:
This week in maths we have been comparing numbers.
Watch the following video and then complete the worksheet. You can write the number sentences on some paper if you cannot print the sheet. As an extra challenge, see if you can write your own more than less than number sentences.
Phonics:
In year 1 we work really hard on our phonics and using sounds to help us to read and write. Sometimes there are just some ‘tricky’ words that you can’t use your sounds to help you.
Your job is to write the following words 3 times and then try and use them in a sentence.
Your 3 tricky words-
You
because
what
example sentence – you are amazing.
Science
In science, we have been looking at materials. We have looked closely at a range of objects and why a particular material has been chosen . Your task is to find an object in your house and draw a picture of it.
Under your drawing, tell me: What it is? What it is made from? Why is it made out of that material?
This half term we have been learning about the toys Victorian children would play with, the materials they were made from. We compared these with our favourite toys and looked at the materials they are made from.
As part of our topic we visited the Discovery Museum in Newcastle, we were very excited!
Once we arrived we had a lesson with Amy. She had lots of old toys hidden and we guessed what we though they were… a train, a porcelain doll, tea set and a dog-bear (was it a dog or a bear, we weren’t sure either!)
Meet our ‘Readers of the Month’ for January. The children have been chosen for their amazing efforts with reading in school. Reading is such an important part of our curriculum and we know the children love reading, sharing books and celebrating their achievements. We are so proud of you all!
