The children in Year 5 enjoyed exploring the technique of filtering to clean different particles out of water.
EYFS had a cheeky visitor today while Mrs Hanratty was in an important meeting, Winnie the Witch. She made potions with the children, adding in slimy snots, rabbit poo, goblin wee and other thoroughly disgusting ingredients.
Once the children said their spell and added the final ingredient, they noticed that their potion fizzed. They poured Mrs Carr and Miss Corr a drink and tricked them into drinking it. They instantly transformed into cats!!! Don’t worry though, the children uttered the magic word to turn them back into teachers.
A magical day for all!
Student Council worked really hard making and selling their Halloween treats this morning!

Y6 had a fantastic day in Upper Teesdale visiting the famous High Force waterfall. The visit provided the children with the opportunity to see their learning come to life having studied rivers this half term in geography. We had a lovely walk starting at Bowlees Visitor Centre before reaching Low Force. There were noticeable gasps as the children came through the trees to see the water cascading over the rocks. After we all safely crossed the historic Wynch Bridge, we continued upstream taking note of the key river features we had learned about in lessons. Finally, we arrived at the main attraction – High Force – where lots of the children were able to recall key facts about the waterfall which really impressed Mrs Wilson!
Y6 attended the Reduce Accidents at Play event at South Shields Fire Station. They participated in a range of activities led by the Fire Service, RNLI, Bikeability, Nexus, Northern Power Grid and South Tyneside Get Active.
The sessions were designed to ensure the children stay safe as they become older, more independent and are more likely to be out in the community unaccompanied. The children had a great afternoon and learned lots of useful information.
Reception strengthened their fine motor skills this week by rolling clay into a hedgehogs body and used scissors to snip spikes into the top of it. We then added a head and some eyes, we all thought our hedgehogs were super cute.
This week Year 2 visited the Life Centre in Newcastle. We had an amazing day and loved every second. On the morning we took part in a space workshop and found out all about being an astronaut. We even made our own space breakfast! On the afternoon we explored the museum and especially enjoyed the Planetarium and the science show!
Year Four enjoyed time for colouring, outdoor time, sketching and yoga in between lessons today. Here is a glimpse of our fantastic yoga positions!
We had a fantastic time exploring the Centre for Life and learning all about our senses!
