Promise and Progress For Our Girls’ Football Team

26th April 2023C Campbell

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with the Year Five and Six Girls’ Football Team this year. We played our remaining league matches at Hebburn Comprehensive School on Friday last week and our final league position was joint-10th out of 15 schools. This represents a fantastic achievement for the girls and we couldn’t be prouder of them. We are now holding an Upper Key Stage Two Girls’ Football Club to build upon the success and enthusiasm we have for football in school and we hope as many girls as possible will attend as the year goes on. Well done to this year’s team and the future looks very bright indeed!

 

 

Girls’ Football Club Underway!

We had fun out on the MUGA this afternoon in our first Girls’ Football Club session. The girls were extremely enthusiastic and showed clear progress within the passing and shooting skills we worked on. See you next time everyone!

A very special delivery to Reception!

Last week we had a very special delivery of 10 eggs, so far 9 of them have hatched, 1 boy and 8 girls. The children have loved watching them hatch and are really enjoying learning about the life cycle. 🥚 🐣 🐤 on Friday we held them. The children were amazing, so gentle and kind. They were able to tell us how to carefully look after them, how we keep them safe and what they need to stay healthy. They also discussed why their feathers are so soft and fluffy. 🐥👏🏻⭐️🐥👏🏻⭐️

 

7 Blue held a puppet show!

This week we have been reading a lovely book called ‘Once upon a dragon’s fire’ by Beatrice Blue which inspired us to create our own stories about a dragon.   The children made their own puppets and held a puppet show to share their story.    We had a wonderful time and one of the children had so much fun he has made his own puppet show frame from cardboard so he can create more puppet shows at home.

 

Nursery visit some fluffy friends in Reception!

21st April 2023Hayley Tampin

This week, we went along to Reception to see the chicks. 10 eggs were delivered earlier in the week, in their special, warm incubator… and 9 of them have hatched already!

We talked about the life cycle of a chicken and how the chicks use their special egg tooth to break out of the egg.

One of the chicks is light yellow (that’s the boy) and the others are darker (they are the girls). It was very funny watching them climb on each other and cheep loudly!

A visit to Reception from a local author!

20th April 2023K Richardson

Today we had a very special visit. One of our parents came into school to talk to the children about a storybook she has written. It is called ‘The Little Falcon’. It is a very special story that is based on her son. In the story the bird cannot fly and is supported by Jodi. Jodi is a fantastic lady who runs marathons etc for Toby and sends him the medals. Toby, the author’s son, has cerebral palsy and we talked about some of the equipment that he uses to support him so he can be included and involved in so many activities. It was a fabulous afternoon and the children were able to talk about similarities, differences and why it is so important to be a good friend and look out for each other. There is a photo of the  QR code if you would like to buy a copy of this fabulous book 😊

 

 

 

Measuring Masters in 1 Red!

30th March 2023L Chisholm

This week we have been measuring using objects, scales and rulers.  We have been estimating how heavy, light, tall or short our chosen objects were. We even used a ruler and were able to measure using centimetres and half centimetres! It was great fun using the resources and finding out if our estimates were correct.
