This week we have been learning about life in a hospital during Elizabeth Blackwell times. We found out that it was very dirty, had uncomfortable beds, not enough care givers and unsafe operations. We recreated a hospital ward in our class and the children took turns being the patient and the doctors. It was very noisy and most of our patients died because we had no clean equipment. We even had protesters telling us that women were not allowed to be doctors!
We are thrilled to share with you that our Rainbow Flag evidence has been reviewed from our recent audit and we can proudly say that we have achieved the award again!
Well done to the children, staff and wider school community for supporting us and joining our commitment to positive LGBT+ inclusion and visibility.
We’ve had lots of Easter fun this week in Nursery.
We have….
Have a wonderful Easter break!
We have had a very busy week in Reception. We have been learning about the Easter Story and the build up to Easter. The importance of Easter for Christians and what symbols represent Easter. We have been making chicks, eggs, baskets, chocolate nest, retelling the story of Easter and so much more! Ask us to tell you about Easter and when you are supposed to have Easter eggs!
Huge congratulations to our Times Tables Rock Stars Leaderboard front-runners in Key Stage Two this term. Their efforts at home and in school to be the best they can be in all-things multiplying and dividing has been nothing short of amazing! Mental maths is such an important part of our journey in mathematics in school and regular practice a few times each week can make a significant difference to confidence, progress and attainment. Well done everyone and keep up the good work after Easter!
Wow,wow,wow! Thank you to each an every one of you who entered our ‘decorated’ egg competition. It has been very difficult choosing the winners as the entries were all eggstremely eggstatic! Winners will be revealed in tomorrows’ celebration assembly.
We loved making our decorated eggs for our Easter competition!
Reverend Ian from St Johns Church joined us for our Easter Celebration assembly. We looked at the Easter Story and how sometimes the impossible can happen. Easter is a sign of new life and new hope and that we should rejoice in the lessons Jesus taught us.
Happy Easter!
We went on our trip today to West Boldon Lodge. It was absolutely fantastic and we loved every minute. We have done lots of new activities including making a journey stick, den building, looking for signs of spring, using tools to chop wood, fire building and our best bit…..roasting marshmallows over our fire. We have learnt new skills and worked together as a team brilliantly.
