Interesting Internet

6th October 2022Chloe Reed

In Year Four, we are learning about ‘Networks’ as part of our Computing curriculum.

We already knew lots of information about the internet so we shared our ideas and then worked in teams to create our own networks. Then, we had to send special messages using different networks but we quickly realised that sometimes messages cannot be sent. To solve the problem, we discussed how we can use a router to redirect or share information.

We also used the ‘World Wide Web’ to carry out our own searches and enjoyed finding information on our school website and our favourite story characters.

Tennis

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.

 

Y6 Padlet Collaboration

4th October 2022S Hume

In Year 6, we have been learning about how the internet works and as part of this we worked on a mini project about the UK on Padlet. Using this software on the IPads, we were all able to upload answers to questions and share research findings with everyone in the class through a virtual bulletin board. It was great fun!

Beamish Year 3

1st October 2022S Stothard

As part of our work looking at the vanishing village, today Year 3 visited Beamish to look at the mining colliery. This morning, we had a workshop called “Just One Spark” where we investigated mining explosions and what made the mines safer. Then, after lunch, we explored the village and even had a ride on the tram before returning home

.

It was a brilliant day and the children had a great time.

Y4 Visit the Great North Museum

20th September 2022Chloe Reed

We’ve had a brilliant day learning all about Ancient Greece at the Great North Museum.

We played a very special game of ‘I Spy’, solved the puzzle to create a timeline and we got to explore the museum too. It was a brilliant day but we’re definitely ready for a lie down now!

Have you visited the museum before?

The Vanishing Village

15th September 2022S Stothard

In Year 3 our History Topic is The Vanishing Village. We have been finding out about Old Marsden Village which was once built upon the cliffs. Yesterday we put our detective hats on and walked along to see if we could see any remains of what was once there.
