Year 2 had a great time investigating which material would make the best footprint on the moon. We used flour and sand and set a timed investigation using wellie boots to investigate which material created the deepest impact and why.
Which material do you think will make the deepest and clearest footprint on the moon?
In Year 1 we have been learning about animal diets. Today, we discovered that lots of animals have left a mess all over the school! We put our knowledge of carnivores, herbivores and omnivores to the test and investigated which animal made each mess.
Then Mrs Lewis told us it was a prank! Silly Mrs Lewis!
Year 1 had the best day preparing our Toy Museum. We chose our favourite toys, made our own worker lanyards and organised our toys from oldest to newest. We even got to have a try on a DS and a GameBoy!
We then cut the red ribbon and welcomed our family and friends to look at all our hard work. We gave out tickets, served snacks and showcased our very own handmade toys.
It was lovely to hear families share stories of their favourite toys and discuss all the memories from their own childhoods. Wonderful memories were made!
Thank you to everyone who came.
As part of our PE curriculum, we organised a special ‘Dance Week’ to extend and enhance our dance knowledge and skills. Each class had a different theme, linked to their curriculum, and we worked individually, in pairs and in small groups to create and perform our own dance routines.
In Year 1, we have been learning to retell our class story, Cave Baby. During independent writing, Ivy was a super star and wrote her very own retell and preformed it for the rest of the class. Fantastic work Ivy!
Year 1 enjoyed talking about changes we see during Autumn. They were super excited with the leaves they had found on our school field at playtime so we decided to go outside and use them to print with. We enjoyed exploring the different textures and finding ways to make different prints.
Yesterday South Shields Tennis Club visited Year 2, 3, and 4. The children had a brilliant time taking part in a Tennis Workshop. Everybody loved the games and enjoyed trying something new. They will be offering an after school club starting after half term which the children can’t wait to start.
DIn Maths Year 1 have been comparing different amounts. We have used lots of different objects and even made our own crocodile teeth to help us! Well done Year 1.
In history this term Year 1 are looking at how toys have changed over time. We have had a lovely delivery of old toys from Sunderland Winter Gardens. We explored the toys and decided our favorites was a marble run and a wooden acrobat!
Year one have been remembering Queen Elizabeth II.
