As part of their topic ‘Zoom’ Year 1 enjoyed a trip to the George Stephenson Railway Museum. The children enjoyed going on a train hunt, listening to the story of George Stephenson’s life and experiencing a very special train ride with Santa.
As part of our Winter and Christmas events, Reception enjoyed a Winter Wonderland trip to West Boldon Lodge. The children took part in elf activities, hunting for Christmas jigsaw pieces in the woodland. They then enjoyed a marshmallow by the fire and warmed up inside with a cup of hot chocolate. They then decorated a Christmas bauble and helped Santa unload the sleigh. Our visit ended with a very magical visit to see Santa.

This term year 3 was learning about, Why Christians believe that Jesus is the light of the world. As part of our topic we visited St Nicholas Church and made our own Christingles.
This term year 5 and 6 have been learning about fossils, evolution and inheritance. We investigated our own fossils including a plesiosaur’s vertebrae and a mammoth’s molar. After observing, we began to hypothesise about the lives of these pants and animals. We also had a fascinating trip to the Hancock museum where we learned all about how animals adapt to their environment.We loved looking at the skulls and thinking about what they tell us about human evolution.
Bible Comes Alive
Resources Base 2 and Year 4 children visited Boldon Independent Methodist Church for a Bible Comes Alive event. They were treated to a range of different stories from the Bible, told by the characters themselves. They also took part in singing, dancing and a quiz, before finishing their visit off with juice and a biscuit!
Stone Age Lady
Resource Base 2, Year 3 and Year 4 children were lucky to receive a visit from a Stone Age lady, who told them all about life during the Stone Age. They were able to dress as Stone Age people and handle artefacts that would have been used at the time. It really brought the subject to life and was a fabulous start to their topic!
St Nicholas’ Church visit
Resource Base 2, Year 3 and Year 4 children visited St Nicholas’ Church, to listen to Father Raymond telling them more about their RE topic, ‘Jesus as the Light of the World’. They also learnt about the events of advent and looked at the signs of advent that can be found in a Christian church.
