A busy week in Reception

18th November 2024K Richardson

This week in Reception we have been using our knowledge of circles and triangles to sort and create shape pictures. We used lots of positional language as we made our way round the obstacle course. We have been working on our Sounds Write skills and made lots of fabulous creations!

Getting Arctic Creative!

18th November 2024N Sikka

The children in 1 Red have been so enthusiastic about our Learning Means the World theme ‘Come Fly with me Arctic Circle’ and are loving learning about the habitats, people and animals that live in the Arctic. Today we learnt all about an Inuit (Eskimo) and it’s life within the Arctic circle. The children had Design and Technology lesson where they had to use appropriate materials to design and make their own Inuit. They discussed the different materials they used and used the associated vocabulary to describe them. Some of these Inuit’s may be found on the catwalk as their outfits are simply amazing!

Reception first week back!

8th November 2024K Richardson

A fabulous first week back! We have been looking at China in our Learning Means The World theme ‘Come fly with me Asia’. We have been looking at Chinese artefacts, writing our names in Chinese and we even made a Chinese restaurant in our home corner! We also talked about Remembrance Sunday and made poppies, our tree is looking amazing!

2 Blue and the great start.

15th September 2024L Chisholm

The children in 2 Blue have had a great start to the year. We have made messages with counters and flags and looked at various ways of communicating. We have worked on working out the tens and ones in any given number and what it looks like. We have settled in to our new routines and even though there is a little bit more to do, we know we are going to smash Year 2!

Amazing Animal Patterns in 2 Red

5th June 2024L Phillips

2 Red showed just how creative they were when replicating animal patterns before creating and designing a animal print of their own.

They used a range of mixed media to try out different patterns and textures and also used some more unusual art tools. They created snake skin with paint, sponges and netting, elephant skin with paint and shaving foam, leopard spots with bubble wrap and paint and a whole range of other textures with chalk pastels, oil pastels, pens and pencils.

The end product of their own design carved into a foam board then printed onto paper was very impressive.

The light (and dark) are strong with 1 Red.

21st May 2024L Chisholm

In our Learning Means the World theme of ‘Light Up The World’ we have been looking at what objects and materials give us light. We looked at a selection of pictures then worked together to decide if they give us a natural light or a man made light. We the looked at using shadows and shading in our art lesson and created some lovely pictures using these light and dark effects.

Design and Technology Dynamos in Year 1!

13th May 2024L Chisholm

In our Learning Means The World theme, ‘Light Up The World’ we have been looking at the sun and creating leaflets and posters of the rules we need to follow in order to be safe when we are out in the sun. We have found out that suncream, glasses, hat and t-shirts are very important. We then designed our own split pin lever card to show the sun and how we keep ourselves safe

2 Blue- Rainforest Art Explorers!

10th May 2024L Martin

2 Blue have had a fantastic time exploreing the Sunderland Winter Garder rainforest through art.

They sketched in the forest, looking carefully at the different types of leaves, and then created some master pieces in the museum classroom using different types and shades of pastels.

We even had time to sqeeze in scavenger hunt around the rest of the museum!

The children were a credit to the school with their excellent manners and behaviour.
