Year 1 had a lovely time sharing their work with their families!
Year 1 have had the best day down at the seaside! We found so many sea creatures like crabs, shrimps, fish, starfish and even a Sea Hare which was huge! The children behaved fantastically and really did us proud. 🙂
For our DT topic this half term we have been looking at healthy eating. We enjoyed cutting and chopping fruits and vegetables to make different smoothies.
To celebrate World Number Day (08.03.2023), we decided to hold our own Maths Rockstar Day. We took part in different challenges ranging from numeral recognition in Nursery, Numbots activities in Reception and KS1, right up to TTRockstars Battles in KS2. The winners in KS2 were allowed to pick an adult to compete against live in the hall. Of course the children were the fastest thinkers and were victorious over staff. There were also prizes for best Best Dressed and Best Air Guitarist.
To complete our topic of the Great Fire, Year 1 went back in time to 1666. We experienced a range of activities from the past and even learnt all about their punishments too! Our favorite activities of the day were tasting Thomas Farriner’s bread and ink writing. Then in the afternoon we jumped back into our time machines and had a visit from South Shields Fire and Rescue service, they showed us how to be safe around fire and even let us have a look inside the engine!
On Thursday, we celebrated our love of reading by sharing books together with our friends. The children thoroughly enjoyed reading together and getting lost in the imaginative worlds.
We also shared the text “The Dot” across the whole school and completed a wide range of activities linked to dots and believing in ourselves. Each year group shared their work in Assembly.

Year 1 have had a lovely day celebrating Valentine’s Day. We have made lots of lovely things to take home and even decorated our own valentines cookie.
Congratulations to our winners this week!

A fond farewell to Marcus from Year 1. We will miss you so much and wish you all the happiness in the world at your new school!
Year One had the best morning at Laura’s Park. We were so well behaved! Although we did get very muddy, we made the best memories. The smiles speak for themselves!
This half term the School Council are looking at key roles in school. As part of this we have been finding out what role governors play in how our school runs. This week, school council had the privilege of meeting one of Marsden’s governors to find out all about her role.
The children wrote brilliant questions and thoroughly enjoyed speaking to Mrs Hayward. Thank you so much for giving up time in your busy schedule to come and speak with us.
