Safer Internet Day

9th February 2022M Hanratty

Yesterday, we celebrated Safer Internet Day at Marsden.

Each year group watched a discussion story suitable for their age range which raised points such as being kind online, limiting screen time and not sharing personal information online.

EYFS loved our story called Dot which looked at how we need to play outside with our friends  instead of just watching an iPad inside.

Year 4 wrote persuasive letters to the named character of their story, Tek, to not use his devices as much. They would definitely persuade me!

Year 5 enjoyed completing crossword puzzles with clues to important vocabulary relating to staying safe online.

🐉Dragon Arrangements🐉

6th February 2022M Hanratty

This week, EYFS have started to look at the celebration of “Lunar New Year” which is often referred to as “Chinese New Year”.

The Nursery children were fascinated by the dancing dragons in the clips we watched of how Lunar New Year is celebrated. We made our own dragons using loose parts in our maths session focusing on describing the shapes. We talked about their long bodies, round heads, pointy teeth and spiky horns.

Let us know if you like our dragons 🐉

Stone Age Day!

4th February 2022Rachael Barna

Year 3 had an incredible Stone Age Day.
They rocked up to school looking fabulous in their Stone Age attire.
The classroom was transformed into a dark cave with its own fire. Children had the opportunity to try a range of Stone Age activities from making Stone Age Stew to crafting their own jewellery and tools. They even had the chance to step into the shoes of an archaeologist by handling Stone Age artefacts from The Discovery Museum in Newcastle. How exciting!

What was school like in the past?

28th January 2022Ellie Kane

What a fantastic day we have had in Year 1! We started off the day by going back in time in a time machine. We took away all of our technology and swapped our whiteboards for chalkboards. We practiced quill writing, reciting times tables, racing and learnt all about old toys. We even learnt about punishments children used to face!
Thank you for all the effort you have made to make this day as special as it has been, the outfits were fantastic.
Definitely a day to remember!

IPad fun!

24th January 2022Ellie Kane

https://www.mathplayground.com/code_builder.html

In computing, we have been learning all about algorithms  Today we tested our skills on the IPads. The children have learnt how to get on to the internet and search for the website we wanted. We all managed to direct the robot to his alien friends using an algorithm.
I have attached the game we used incase you would like to have a go at home!
