In Year 2 we had a brilliant day celebrating World Mental Health Day. The children created their own worry monsters and painted them on the afternoon.
EYFS have enjoyed learning the skeleton dance this week!
A spooktacular time was had by all this afternoon!
Year 5 have creating their own Anglo-Saxon brooches to link their art and history topics. First, they designed them and then used glue and string for the outline of the design. They then covered them in tinfoil and decorated them.
Y6 visited Reception class to meet their new buddies. At whole school events, Y6 will support their buddies and will also visit them during the year to support Reception’s learning. Today’s task was to share a story and get to learn names!
Y6 attended the South Tyneside RAP event at South Shields Fire Station. Here they were able to meet with representatives from Tyne and Wear Fire Service, Nexus, RNLI, Bikeability and Northern Power Grid. The children heard all about how they can stay safe as they become increasingly independent and venture out and about without adults.
Meet the new Worry Monster of Marsden! The children created their own pictures of worry monsters and Mrs Potter added her creativity to make a life-size version. There’s even a bag for children to put their worries in so that the monster can take them away!
Congratulations to our winners!
Today, Year 4 had the opportunity to welcome David from Durham University to our classroom. With his help, we became archeologists, examining artefacts from the time – some of which were over 2000 years old! The children also made their own offerings to the gods from clay and even performed in a classic Greek tragedy – Medea. We had an amazing day and learned so much more about the people, culture and beliefs of the time!
The gardening club were very busy this week weeding. They worked as a team to make sure the area was tidy and weed-free.
