On Friday, all children participated in Number Day to raise money for NSPCC. We completed lots of number based activities and designed our own games which involved lots of calculating!
Well done to all of our children who were child of the week this week. It was lovely to see so many sporting achievements. Excellent work Marsden!
Year One investigated how we hear sounds. We explored sound waves by feeling the vibrations through string.
EYFS have loved making cookies this week linked to our text Astro Girl. Reception wrote instructions in Literacy and Nursery followed them brilliantly when baking. They were delicious!
George from Year 6 has wowed us all with his reasoning and problem solving skills during Number Day! He persevered in solving these difficult ‘Solvemoji’ problems which included negative decimals!
On Thursday 1st February, Year 4 visited the Discovery Museum in Newcastle. We spent the morning exploring the museum and then took part in a fantastic workshop to find out more about sound and how it travels. We had lots of fun and learned so much about our current science topic!
Year 5 have been learning about ‘Dance by Chance’, inspired by the choreographer Merce Cunningham. We have been learning about actions, rhythm and space and used this as inspiration to create and perform our own dance routines.
Andy’s Mam has ordered far too many toys – can Y6 work out how many of each toy Andy has?
There are 14 heads and 36 legs. How many of the toys are Rex and how many are Bullseye?
Well done for finding the solution before applying your knowledge to the next challenge Y6!
Our Year 6 Sports Leaders have started their extra-curricular club with Year 2. Amelie, Amelia, Scarlett, Finlay and Matthew are encouraging children to be more active and started the term with a game of ‘Squeeze’.
In Year 2 we have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes.
We started our week with Marshmallow Maths where the children had to construct shapes using cocktail sticks and marshmallows. The children really impressed me with their skills and knowledge! Well done Year 2
