Writing a Recount
Year 2 have been writing a recount of their recent visit to the Planetarium at the Great North Museum in Newcastle. The children have looked at the features of this genre and even looked at examples of recounts. Together, the class recalled the events throughout the day to help support their own writing.
Miss Haygarth and Miss Mensforth are impressed with the improvement in writing so far this year. The children are using conjunctions to join sentences and are using the correct punctuation.
Well Done Year 2
Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed their spelling session this morning. We also had a lots of fun completing a ‘Spelling Bee’ Competition and Team 3 were crowned our class winners 😁🎉👍
Last week, Nursery met a lady called Lori from South Tyneside Council who taught us all about road safety. We have learnt three very important rules:
1. Stop
2. Look
3. Listen
We know how important it is to find a safe place to cross such as a zebra crossing, pedestrian crossing or with the help of a lollipop person. We had fun dressing up and trying out the pedestrian lights.
Remember: Always hold your grown ups hand and stay off the kerb.
If you fancy a family day out during the school holidays, then look no further than ‘The Word’. A range of activities for all!

Year 3 enjoyed a potato salad this morning with their home grown potatoes. The children really enjoyed them and said they were “Delicious!”
As part of their Leavers treats, Year 6 enjoyed a fun-filled day out in Newcastle yesterday. After travelling by Metro to Central Station, they spent the morning at the Discovery Museum. They visited a variety of exhibitions and loved their time in the Science Maze – especially when they were playing air hockey. After a walk through the city centre in the glorious sunshine, the children ate at McDonalds for their lunch.
This trip (and other upcoming trips and treats) have been funded by the money the children have raised over the past year. Thank you again to everyone who has helped us raise an amazing amount this year!
Last week in Computing, Year 6 began their Natural Disasters project. Each week the children will be adding text, images, tables and graphs to create their own information booklet. During the term, they will learn and apply a range of computing skills as well as developing their knowledge and understanding of a variety of disasters that have affected the world over the years.
Year 2 have visited our Forest School. It is such a lovely, calm, beautiful environment. The children did team building games – getting that hoop around the circle without breaking hands was tricky and required others to help!
We used our senses to find out about the world around us. We made a natural palette of colour from our surroundings- this need very careful looking. We hugged a tree and realised that they all feel different. Having a snack and a drink was exciting in the Forest School but of course we cleaned our hands first! We also made tree rubbings. Finally we created our own environmental art!
