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 1 have had the best day down at the seaside! We found so many sea creatures like crabs, shrimps, fish, starfish and even a Sea Hare which was huge! The children behaved fantastically and really did us proud. 🙂
Congratulations to Year 3 for performing a brilliant class assembly. We have been learning about the Ancient Egyptians and the children loved demonstrating their knowledge. The singing and acting was perfect, they made me very proud.
Well done Year 3
Y4 enjoyed a visit to Arbeia Roman fort. All of the children were able to experience what it would be like to be an archeologist as they explored real Roman artefacts and tried to deduce what they were. With our group leader, we learned how simple every day objects can tell us a lot about the people who used them.
After lunch, we were able to explore the fort ruins and reconstructed buildings to learn more about what life was like at the fort.
Year Three had a fantastic visit to The Oriental Museum today. We found out about Egyptian clothes, tools, Gods and mummies.
We even got to see a real mummy! It smelled disgusting!!
To complete our topic of the Great Fire, Year 1 went back in time to 1666. We experienced a range of activities from the past and even learnt all about their punishments too! Our favorite activities of the day were tasting Thomas Farriner’s bread and ink writing. Then in the afternoon we jumped back into our time machines and had a visit from South Shields Fire and Rescue service, they showed us how to be safe around fire and even let us have a look inside the engine!
Today Year 3 Had a brilliant Stone Age Day. The children all looked fantastic and we had lots of fun. We started our day by crawling through a cave and sitting around a campfire in the classroom.
We then became archaeologists and found some fantastic fossils hidden in the soil. Next we created charcoal cave drawings under the desks as if we were lying in our very own cave.
This afternoon we made Stone Age biscuits and fruit stew and can’t wait to try them!
Finally we hunted for food, some of us even caught a rabbit!
Year Five spent an extremely chilly but very informative day at Jarrow Hall, learning more about Anglo Saxon life. We met the animals and found out all about their many uses; discovered how the Saxons used herbs to cure illnesses and re-enacted a Saxon/Viking battle!
This week in EYFS we have learnt all about why we celebrate Remembrance Day. The children enjoyed creating their own poppies in our classroom environments and discussing the knowledge of Remembrance.
Thank you to our Year 6 helpers for leading us through the Remembrance Day Assembly. We joined in a minute silence after sharing our wreaths and poppies.
