Some of our Year 1 pupils were having fun in the allotment yesterday. They enjoyed using the gardening tools to tidy the raised beds. Next week they should be ready to plant some bulbs for the Spring.
This week we will be supporting Anti-Bullying Week: United Against Bullying.
Odd Socks Day launched a week of activities to raise awareness of bullying. We also aim to highlight positive mental health through resilience and self-esteem work. #oddsocksday#WeAreFab #OddSocksDay #AntiBullyingWeek
Over the last few weeks, the children have been finding out about Remembrance Day. They have been learning about why Remembrance Day is important and why it is commemorated. Each child made their own poppy. The poppies were displayed on the classroom window. Here are some photo of our lovely displays.
Well done to the children who participated in October’s Reading Challenge.
Children in EYFS shared a book about their favourite TV character.
Children in Key Stage 1 read aloud to their pet or favourite soft toy.
Children in Key Stage 2 read a magazine or a news article.
Year 1 enjoyed working outside and around our school grounds to learn more about using a map. We looked at a compass and practised finding North. We then played games to help us remember different directions. We particularly enjoyed our game of Bingo,
where we had to identify different symbols used on a map.
In English we have been reading Non-Fiction texts and writing our own ‘All about Owls’ fact books. Year 1 were so excited to have a visit from two beautiful Owls yesterday to help us learn even more about these amazing birds.
Did you know Owls actually have very long legs?
Our favourite part was seeing the Owls beautiful big eyes and finding out about how they use them for hunting!
Friday saw an amazing collection of toiletries, canned and dried foods being brought into school for The South Tyneside Food Bank. Our last Canny Friday is this week (23rd October). We can’t wait to see how many donations we manage to raise for such a worthy cause.
Morning everyone. Thanks for all of your help and support with home learning over the past few weeks. We cannot wait to welcome the children back to school tomorrow Wednesday 14th October.
