Yesterday in class, the children in Year 1 have been learning subtraction using number cards and number lines. The children have made some great progress!
Following our School Council assembly last week the following children have been elected from each class:
Y1 – Cullen Bloomfield & Holly Wilkinson
Y2 – Damon Thompson & Sky Spanton
Y3 – Maisie Bainbridge & Given Mbila
Y4 – Lily Bond & Kieron Walker
Y5 – Aston Hall & Lexi Donaldson
Y6 – Erika Judd & TJ Ridley
We wish them lots of luck in their roles!
They will be fantastic ambassadors for Stanhope and help to improve our school.
Year 3 have been reading the story ‘Leon and the place between,’ in English. They are really enjoying the story and have been making predictions about the text and writing persuasive posters.
We set up an experiment to find out which foods birds like the best.
We found out that the birds like the mealworms the best.
We also made some cereal necklaces for the birds and put them in Forest School.
Reception have been using the conkers they collected in the forest school for counting, matching quantity to numeral and addition.
Donations for Harvest Festival are now coming into school!
This is in preparation for our Harvest Festival Assembly on Tuesday 17th October 2017. All donations go to a good cause within the local community and help to support our local food bank ‘Living Waters’. A big thank you to anyone who has donated so far and all future donations are welcome and will be much appreciated!
Year 5 have been using Scratch to learn about computer programming and debugging. This week they have been making animated letters. They wrote algorithms to make the letters rotate, change colour and play a sound.

POP UP SHOP
During tomorrows (Tuesday 3rd October 2017) Parents Evening, Little Gem’s will host a pop up shop in school.
