What a day!
As part of our ‘Out and About’ theme, that we start next week, we headed to Gibside, National Trust. We had a day of den building, orienteering, walking through the forest and up too many hills to count!! We even had enough energy to play at ,Strawberry Castle play area. We loved every second but the den building was a firm favourite. We can’t wait to go back again.
Today we were lucky enough to have a truly memorable visit from the author Stuart Reid. He read from his books and we helped him to reenact his favourite ( but disgusting !) parts. I think we have all been inspired to follow our passions and write about what makes us happy and makes us laugh!
As part of this terms theme’ Under the Canopy’ we have been doing some observational drawing. As you can see they are just amazing!
Today we have been learning all about the different parts of a plant and their jobs. We looked at a Lilly and cut it up to be able to see inside and this helped us to understand how it worked.
We have been taking full advantage of the sunshine today and have been enjoying all our OPAL areas. As you can see we have had an amazing time!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I am blown away with the amazing ‘Book in a Box’ entries. They are just out of this world. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would have such an amazing response to our challenge! Yet again you have all shown us what incredibly talented people you all are. I have tried to capture them all but apologies if I’ve missed anyone. I’m glad I’m not judging! Winners to be announced soon.
As part of book all classes have taken part in parent workshops where the parents came and read a story with their children. It was so lovely, and both the children and the parents had a really nice time. Here are some pictures from year 3.
As pat of our current theme ‘Athens V Sparta’ we have been looking at persistence, determination and team work. We have tried to balance spoons on our noses- which isn’t easy but we were determined to do it and working as a team of structural engineers to create the tallest tower we could.

In 3 Blue we have been writing newspaper articles based on the events in the book The Tin Forest by Helen Ward . They were all so amazing that we have now created a whole class newspaper for everyone to read. Here are just a few examples of our amazing work.
What a great morning we had this morning! This morning we had our parents and carers join us for a maths workshop. We introduced them to some of the methods that we used for multiplication and division, we showed them how we can play with numbers using different methods and sang a couple of our favourite multiplication songs.
