Reception had an amazing time at their Christmas party and had a very special visitor!
Year 2’s new theme in Learning Means the World is all about Paddington’s Passport. After discovering that Paddington was born in Peru we decided to do some research about this South American country that none of us have visited.
2 Red worked as a team to create their very own display about Peru and it’s capital city Lima. It’s full of interesting facts and photographs and currently takes pride of place on our wall.
1 Red have hit the ground running this week by coming back to school energised and ready to learn. Our new theme is ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’ and within this theme we are looking at map reading and using a compass to find directions. In Maths we have been looking at making larger numbers by thinking how many 10’s are in the number and how many ones. In our English we are looking at questioning words and how we use them and what replies they generate. We have had a brilliant first week back.
Ian, from St John’s Church in Hebburn, came to visit us for a special assembly to discuss how we are all special in different ways; how to think about each others feelings and respect each other at all times. We had a lovely sing and a dance together.
Reception had their first ‘Little Movers’ PE session today. Lots of dancing and following routines, team work and balancing skills! We all had a fabulous time and feel super fit.

Year 2’s Four Season Project continued this week with a focus on winter. We were given the statement ‘All plants die in the winter’ to prove or disprove. We went on a winter walk to collect photographic evidence to support out findings.
