29th October at Brinkburn CIO

30th October at Valley View Primary School

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!

Running time – 45 minutes

Tickets can be purchased via Eventbrite link HERE

Get yourself booked up and come and see the fabulous story of ‘Sweet’ Caroline… (Ba-ba-baaaah)

Marvellous Moses and our thankful Menorah

21st October 2024L Chisholm

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.

RE Day in Reception

21st October 2024K Richardson

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.

Future stars of the Media!

18th October 2024L Chisholm

In 2 Blue this week we have been looking at what Media stars and people working in the media industry work with.  We looked at some of the equipment and decided that they have a lot of buttons to remember.  We then experimented with our very own podcast station and we interviwed our friend using questions that we had created.  We each took a turn asking and answering the questions and obviously experimenting with the different sound buttons on the pod cast machine! At the end of the session we decided that we wanted to generate some questions to use to interview Mrs Moody. We came up with some corkers that we can’t wait to hear the answers to!

Year 2 using their mind (map!)

18th October 2024L Chisholm

In English this week we have been looking at finding information about the text we are reading.  We have found a skill that helps us dig deeper into what we predict the book could be about.  The children were introduced to the front cover of Tad by Benji Davies and before we even opened the book we decided to dig into our minds to think of ideas the book could be about and what vocabulary we may come across.  We worked in teams and created a ‘Mind Map’ of our ideas and connections. We were then able to read the story undertand the vocabulary and sequence with greter depth.

3 Blue Animation

13th October 2024C Machin

As part of our Learning Means the World theme- ‘That’s all folks!’ We have been creating our very own animation.  We created our own story boards, then using play dough we created the characters from the stories we had made. After that we designed backdrops for our animation. We then used ‘stickbot’ to create our very own animations.

Year 2 using great skills in English!

13th October 2024L Chisholm

This week we have been looking at differnt skills we can use to improve our English work.  We looked at a set of instructions and at first were a little baffled by all the information we could see.  However, when we looked at each part of the instructions we realised that we could sort them into key areas E.G. Title, equipment, method etc.  This helped us greatly when we had to write instructions on how to build our own ‘ME’ robot.

Year 2 are jingling!

13th October 2024L Chisholm

In our learning means the world theme ‘Internation Media Station’ we have been looking at the ways in which tv and radio companies capture our attention.  We looked at the art work used and the jingles that keep us singing.  We then worked as a group to come up with our own jingle to introduce a new breakfast cereal.  The children were amazing both at designing their cereal box and coming up with a catchy jingle.  I am still singing along with ‘panda Pops’!

Our Outdoor Classroom is Open!

8th October 2024C Machin

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.
