Our KS2 School Council attended the Armistice Day service in Monkton Village this morning. We laid a wreath and a cross at the war memorial. Mrs Redfern and Miss Gibson were so proud of the respect that they showed throughout.
We had a visit from Reverend Ian at St. John’s church. He talk about Remembrance Sunday. He mentioned how we remember things (like playing a memory game) and how it is so important to remember people who went to war. He then explained how in the bible it mentions peaceful people dying for good people and that we should not take peace for granted.
We have had a great time at our spooky Halloween disco in Year One. We danced lots, played games and ate hot dogs and sweets!
During the past two weeks in Year One we have been doing lots of work around the Julia Donaldson story ‘Room on the Broom. The children have used their knowledge of the story to support them to work independently using the enhancements we have added to our ‘Continuous Provision’. They have definitely enjoyed it and had lots of fun along the way.
If you are ever stuck on how to add 3 digits together just ask one of us! We are amazing and found that we could use our 10’s frames to place each number. We then realised that once we had made them the other number was easy to see. We are experts now and were able to answer some mastery questions.

Sweet Caroline and the Football Boots is a fun, interactive, music-led performance for all the family with local musicians Ashleigh Lowes and Paige Temperley.
The songs in this performance have been co-created and inspired by girls football teams from across South Tyneside. The story is about the journey of “Sweet” Caroline, a small girl from South Tyneside who is desperate to be a footballer and who teams up with her older neighbour to take on the boys! It is an engaging story of discovering your talent, overcoming stereotypes, finding your team and having confidence in yourself, with a fun, uplifting message for a young audience.
As part of the ticket price, there will be themed food served after the show – and as it is football-themed, there has to be Bovril, sausage rolls and pies!

Get yourself booked up and come and see the fabulous story of ‘Sweet’ Caroline… (Ba-ba-baaaah)
As part of R.E. we have been learning about Moses and how important he is within the Jewish religion. We looked at the early years of Moses and designed a slider to show Moses floating along the river in his basket. We then read the story of the Burning Bush and how God instructed him to go and release the Israelites. After that, we looked at how Passover is celebrated and we designed our our Sedar plate then thought about all the ways we are thankful and added tham to our Menorah candles.
Reception have been learning about the Harvest Festival. Kit Kat the Bunny and Jenie brought some vegetables to school. They told the children that every year they go to a special celebration in their church where they thank God for all of his food gifts. They also talked about how Christians take food to church to celebrate the Harvest Festival and then share the food out with people who live nearby. We talked about our favourite vegetables, described how they felt, their size colours and what they looked like. We then investigated them with our friends. We read the story Oliver’s Vegetables and sang the ‘Cauliflowers Fluffy’ song.
Every Friday in Year One we have a Motor Skills session to help support our fine and gross motor skills. The children are becoming increasingly more confident whilst using the equipment to help strengthen their to muscles to support their physical development.
Last Thursday was a very exciting day in 3 Blue, as we were on the last chapter of our very exciting book ‘Stitch Head’. By Guy Bass. To help celebrate what has been such a great book we went to read it in the new outdoor classroom. As you can see from the pictures we all felt very honored to be one of the first classes in there.
