Year 1 had a fantastic opportunity to share some time with the author Huw Aaron as he shared his new book Monkeypig with us. He read us the story, told us where he got his ideas for the story from and he even helped us learn how to draw some of the characters from the story. We loved the story because it was very funny and I think we did an amazing job at drawing the monkeypig Molly! We are now looking forward to reading the story ourselves in class in our book area.
Y2 had a fantastic day at Sunderland Winter Gardens. We had a brilliant morning finding out about different plants and even got to plant some of our own.
Year 2 have loved exploring capacity and volume in Maths.
In DT Year 2 have created Ferriss Wheels as part of their DT unit. They designed, built and evaluated their wheels. We are so proud of their creations! Well done Year 2!
Well done to the Easter egg raffle winners in Year 1.
Year 1 have been learning all about the Easter story in RE and they made their very own Easter garden to represent this special Christian story. We put cress seeds on the soil and we will watch this grow over the Easter holidays when we take them home.
Year 1 had amazing success with our planted sunflower seeds. Everyone got to take their sunflower seedlings home to continue growing them. We can’t wait to see the flowers when they are fully grown.
As part of our science, Year 1 went outside to find evidence of spring and we found lots of new flowers, buds on the trees and even some minibeasts! Back in class, we then thought about how we could help the creatures in our garden and we made some ‘cup bug hotels’ to give them a place to live. We put these in the long grass on our school field. We hope they like their new homes!
For Rad Nose Day and Down’s Syndrome Awareness, Year 1 showed their support by coming to school in non-uniform and odd socks and completed activities throughout the day.
Happy Red Nose Day! Year 2 had a fantastic time designing a red nose.
