We are so impressed with the work that the children have produced while looking at the story Traction Man. They tried really hard to use lots of adjectives when describing to make their work super interesting.
Check out some of our amazing work!
Last week Year 1 had a visit from Stef (and her many animal friends) as part of our Science topic ‘Animals including Humans’.
Last half term we learned all about animal classification, including characteristics of the following: Mammals, Birds, Amphibians, Reptiles and Fish.
The children have become experts at grouping animals by their class and spotting characteristics. They got to put their knowledge to the test when Stef visited.
Did you know a Hedgehog is a mammal like us? Their spikes are actually hair!
Have a look at our photos and see if you can guess which animal belongs to which animal class.
The Foundation of Light are offering a free 12-week course for families of children in years 5 and 6 in South Tyneside. There will be one 90-minute session per week, which include family fitness sessions, healthy eating advice, fun giveaways and incentives. The course begins on Monday 12th January, but parents/carers can sign up for later sessions if they can’t make the first ones.
More party photos!
More amazing photos from year 1.
Wow! The year 1’s know how to party hard! They danced till they could dance no more and then ate lots of delicious party snacks and then danced some more! We hope that they all had a great time as they deserved it for their amazing performance in their carol concert. We are very proud of them all! Merry Christmas Year 1.
Last week we had a lovely visit from Elizabeth the storyteller, who told us all about the Christmas Story. The children listened so beautifully and asked some super questions about the Christmas story.
Last week the children enjoyed a visit from some ex- coal miners and experts from South Shields Museum, who helped us to understand more about the types of jobs people would have done in our local area in the past.
The children enjoyed exploring historical artefacts and finding out what they would have been used for. We also got the chance to try on some traditional clothes and ask lots of questions.
Well done to all children who took part in the Odd Socks competition for Anti-bullying week. Here are some of our winners with their prize and the winning odd socks.
Yesterday to start Anti-Bullying week, the children took part in a fantastic workshop with Matt from Big Foot Arts Education.
The workshop was called ‘Good to be me’. This was a joyful, story-led anti-bullying workshop that helped the children celebrate who they are, be kind to others, and speak up with confidence.
The children acted out ‘ being kind’ to friends and what they should do if someone is unkind.
