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.
The school council decided that they would like to buy some resources for our chilckens and ducks.
In assembley they launched the idea of a bake sale to the whole school. Each member of the student council explained why they loved our animals so much and how important they were to everyone in school.
The children made 300 cakes and dedicated some of their lunch break to sell them to the rest of the school.
Everyone loved their cake and Wow!!! we raised £75.93. The next decision is what to buy!!
Representing Hedworthfield Primary some of our school councillors, attended the Remembrance Day Ceremony at Monkton Cenotaph.
Members of the student council presented a wreath, on behalf of the school and displayed some art work, that the chilkdren had produced to show their respect.
The children have taken part in class elections. They wrote a manifesto and presented their ideas to their classmates. We discussed the UK voting system and British values before attending our very own Polling Station to vote.
The successful candidates were announced by our special guests Cllr G Kilgour and Cllr J Potts.
Well done everyone!
Today our student council planted an apple tree in our Forest School. So we can always remember The Queen’s Platium Jubilee we also placed a commerative plaque next to the tree.
