Year 5 have been learning about e-safety this week and can explain the S.M.A.R.T rules to follow to keep safe online.
They watched a video about this and discussed the key points raised. If parents/carers would like any information about e-safety visit;

Year 5 have also been creating Halloween posters for the Sainsbury’s competition.
This week Y1 have enjoyed thinking about others and saying thank you for our food in Harvest Festival.
We have been measuring in Maths and today are celebrating Autumn by mixing Autumn colours and printing leaves on trees.
We have a new game to help with our concentration and fine motor skills….Pick Up Sticks!
Year 3 have been taking part in a Fairtrade Day. They have learned about the importance of Fairtrade to protect farmers and types of products that are bought fairly through the Fairtrade scheme. They have made rocky road using Fairtrade products to sell tomorrow in school. Please bring in your 50p!
Yesterday we enjoyed celebrating our Harvest Festival in assembly. Each class presented information about harvest or sang songs along the theme of harvest and autumn.
Year 2 sang the songs: Under the Harvest Moon, Autumn Leaves and our favourite Big Red Combine Harvester.
As a class they worked together to write their own acrostic poem:
Apples juicy to eat
Under leaves hedgehogs hibernating
The leaves turning into different colours
Understanding all the changes
Many leaves begin to fall
Now it is autumn
Year 4 have been enjoying skipping, working with South Tyneside Council who are creating a film resource to celebrate the tradition of skipping. They along with Unified Media filmmakers and local writer Tom Kelly are going to be part of the skipping film, which will be played in an exhibition pod at The Word from November 2017 to March 2018.
We eagerly await The Word who will be arranging a special tour/visit for the children once the exhibition in the Pod is installed.

We researched all about hedgehogs and wrote an information text with a title and headings. We discovered lots of interesting facts.
Did you know that hedgehogs have a tail?
We also collected leaves and made our own autumn leaf person.
We are overwhelmed by the fantastic response to our request for donations for the food bank.
Your generosity has filled many boxes and will be presented on Thursday to Hospitality and Hope – South Tyneside who are trying, in partnership with schools like ourselves to ‘Tackle Food Poverty Together.’
We know that your kindness and thoughtfulness with be much appreciated by the recipients.
Thank you to all of the families who have supported what is a wonderful cause and organisation.
On Saturday morning we had a highly enjoyable and productive competition at Bedeswell Park in Jarrow. We had 14 budding distance runners competing (some representing our school for the very first time). They performed superbly, giving their all.
We had tremendous success with Alexa Reid (Y4) winning the South Tyneside category! Charlie Elliot (Y4) was 2nd and Jack Reach (Y4) 3rd. Well done!

Year 5 have been learning about translating shapes on a grid to create patterns. We decided that they looked so good, we would create some larger versions to display in the classroom.
