Year 3, 4 and Language Unit had their Christmas party today and the children looked fabulous for the occasion.
They had a dance and enjoyed party games. The favourite being corners and heads and tails!
All of our school values on display in the Language Unit 2 classroom today – resilience, respect, responsibility and engagement! We are continuing our DT topic on Pavilions by investigating materials and shapes that make the most stable structures. Wait to see our final designs!
We had a visit from Anthea from My Dentist today to support our science topic on Teeth and Digestion. She told us all about teeth and how to look after them and about careers in dentistry. She even let us pretend to be dentists by wearing masks and gloves and examining some model teeth.
As part of our World Book Day celebrations we enjoyed buddy reading with our Language Unit 1 friends.
Shadow also joined in, until he fell asleep!
On the 23rd January, children in Language Unit 2 visited the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle to support their art topic. They took part in a workshop where they learnt all about different watercolour techniques, created their own water colour paintings and viewed water colour paintings within the gallery.
Look who dropped into our guided reading session this morning! Shadow enjoyed listening to the story (although it must have been a bedtime story as he fell asleep afterwards!)
Throughout the autumn term, the children in Language Unit 2 were learning to design and make electronic Christmas cards in their Design Technology lessons. Look at the fabulous cards they created to take home for their families!
On 21st October, Children in Language Unit 2 were learning about describing characters in English. They were left a few clues as to who they would be describing next – can you guess who it might be?
On 6th October, Language Unit 2 children had a surprise in store with an ‘unbirthday’ party! They are currently learning about stories set in imaginary worlds so they followed the clues to guess the story. They correctly guessed Alice in Wonderland. Mrs Thu. Wasn’t too impressed with the mouse in the teapot when she went to make the tea!
Over the last two days, every child from Reception to Year 6 has taken part in a STEM project.in collaboration with the KAPLA workshop team. They have learned how to work as a team and shown resilience and engagement with the process in order to complete their final build.
We have built ski villages, giraffes, houses, crocodiles, boats and so much more! The wooden bricks needed to be carefully placed to make different shapes that would stand tall. There was no glue, no fixing mechanisms, just pure determination and a methodical, systematic approach.
We are so proud of what we managed to achieve together! A massive thank you to all of those parents and adults that helped our children enjoy an amazing learning experience.
