Shaun the Sheep on the Tyne Assembly

27th April 2023Hayley Tampin

Today we welcomed Karen from St Oswald’s Hospice for a special ‘Shaun the Sheep on the Tyne’ assembly.

Karen talked to us about the fantastic work the hospice do and the wonderful care they provide for children and adults with complex disabilities.

Some of you may remember the amazing Snowdog and Elmer art trails… This year’s trail will bring a flock of beautifully decorated Shaun the Sheep sculptures to the North East. The learning programme has been sponsored by Northumbrian Water.

The school council and eco-warriors have worked hard over the last few weeks, collecting ideas from their classmates and coming up with our very own Shaun design. Our next job is to begin the painting process and to bring their design to life!

The trail begins on 19th July 2023 and will run throughout the summer holidays, ending on 27th September.

7 Blue held a puppet show!

21st April 2023N Fada

This week we have been reading a lovely book called ‘Once upon a dragon’s fire’ by Beatrice Blue which inspired us to create our own stories about a dragon.   The children made their own puppets and held a puppet show to share their story.    We had a wonderful time and one of the children had so much fun he has made his own puppet show frame from cardboard so he can create more puppet shows at home.

 

We Eat Elephants!

20th April 2023N Fada

 

7 Blue have completed a 6 week intervention with the Healthy Minds Team called ‘We Eat Elephants’.

During the sessions, we have learned that our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are all linked.

The children have been taught that changing the way they think can help them to feel better and they were given the opportunity to practice their problem solving skills so that when outside events make them have ‘big feelings’ such as being sad or feeling angry, they know what to do manage these feelings in a positive way.
