Year 3 are extremely proud of their Design & technology projects.
They investigated cushions, designed their own and learned how to sew using running stitch and cross stitch to use applique.
We think they are fabulous!
Y3 enjoyed visiting the Great North Museum to look at real artefacts from Ancient Egyptian times. They also recapped their science learning about rocks and soils during a workshop by a geologist. They were very engaged in finding facts about the Egyptians and loved seeing real mummies!
Year 5 enjoyed a poetry cafe this morning after completing their poetry unit which they have engaged beautifully with. The children chose a poem to read to the class that they had written during the unit. Many chose to read the free verse poems that they had written with the theme of Remembrance Day. They showed beautiful speaking and listening skills and were a respectful audience whilst performing their poems and listening to their peers. Well done Year 5!
Our topic in EYFS at the moment is ‘Super Duper You!’
This week, we are focusing on all of the things that make us special, recognising this may be different to our friends.
We couldn’t believe that a real superhero came to see us to show us our new ‘Superhero Station’ 
The children loved spotting a superhero on our CCTV. They have been so engaged in their new role play area: writing secret messages for their superhero friends, making their own superhero masks and using positive words of affirmation in the mirror to say what is special about themselves
As part of their learning in PSHE, Year 2 have been learning about different emotions and what that might look like for different people.
We showed these emotions and discussed how we can react when someone might be feeling big emotions and how we could help them.
Over the last few weeks, EYFS have been taking part in an exploration session within their local community.
This time, we visited our local library. The children had some stories shared with them from the library staff, before getting the chance to explore the library and stories 
They each used their very own library card to borrow a story from the library to enjoy at home 
They all had a wonderful time getting lost in a story 
On valentines day the children came into school wearing clothes that they love!
Student council organised a cake sale to raise money for enriching resources for school.
This week, the children in nursery and reception had a visit from the school nurses. They shared stories and activities to help them consider how to keep themselves healthy.
They talked about how important it is to look after their teeth by brushing them twice a day and making healthy choices with food and drink. 
They also learnt a song to sing when washing their hands, to make sure to get rid of all of those nasty germs! 
Our children were engaged and respectful, and they knew lots of ways to keep themselves healthy! They all received two certificates for their achievements!
