Check out the amazing artwork year 4 produced after learning about the Ancient Egyptians. They used paper straws and paint to create their own death masks inspired by that of Tutankhamun. They also used clay and metallic paint to create scarab beetles. The Ancient Egyptians believed they were symbols of wisdom and could be used as amulets for good luck.
At the end of last half term, Year 4 enjoyed a visit to St. Lawrence’s church where Father Paul told us all about Lent and the Easter story. We found it very interesting as well as lots of fun.
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?
In year 4, we’ve been developing our map reading skills to explore places around the world. We can identify the equator, the prime meridian as well as lines of longitude and latitude. We investigated places found between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
Check out a couple of our brilliant posters about places found in the tropics.
The children from reception to year 6 love lunchtime club. Have a look at our photos and see what we have been up to this half term.
Last half term, we used the app Pixlr to explore how images can be edited. We used our knowledge to create advertisements for weird and wonderful places and films. Check out some of our adverts. We hope you like them!
In computing this year, we explored different podcasts and even made our own! Y4E had learned loads of interesting facts about the Anglo-Saxons in history so they decided to write and record podcasts based around this theme. We hope you enjoy them!
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.
Well done everyone, we are so proud of you!

We’ve started learning all about how sounds are produced and how they travel. We loved making our own string telephones and testing them out. Some of us even tapped into other people’s conversations!
