Holi Celebration

17th June 2022N Sikka

This week the children had a fantastic opportunity to take part in R.E workshops based around the Indian festival of colour, ‘Holi’.  Kalpesh from K’z Dance Entertainment Ltd taught all the children some traditional Indian dances and discussed with them the  meaning of the Holi festival.  At the end of the day the whole school came together and performed the dances taught earlier in the day, the children and staff had some wonderful moves!  At the end of the performance everyone took part in throwing colourful dyes at one another to celebrate Holi, just like it is carried out in India.

Life Science Centre Trip 7 Red

9th June 2022R Cave

We had a great day at the ‘Space’ themed exhibition at the Life Science Centre.

Lots to do and lots to explore, from launching rockets in Mission Control to watching a film about star constellations in a 360 degree movie dome. We even helped with some science experiments, investigating space travel and exploration.

 

 

 

Nursery Bug Hunt

9th June 2022N Bramley

Today in our Forest School, we ‘experienced it’ by going on a bug hunt.  We had great fun exploring in the garden and looking for minibeasts.  We used magnifying glasses to look closely at all the different minibeasts and name them.  We also talked about where they lived and what they looked like.  Why don’t you ‘use it’ and have a look at home to see if you can find any minibeasts?

Bart Rippon Football Cup: Penalty Drama For Runners-Up Hebburn Lakes!

8th June 2022C Campbell

Our brilliant Upper Key Stage Two Boys’ Football Team continued this season’s fantastic run of results with another thrilling display at today’s Bart Rippon Cup event at Temple Park. Having qualified for the semi-final stage during the morning fixtures, the boys then made it through to this afternoon’s final with a narrow 1-0 victory over Harton. The final was another closely-contested game which eventually went to a dreaded penalty shoot-out! By a whisker, we were defeated by St. Matthew’s, who went away as today’s cup winners – congratulations to them and well done to all of the children who represented their schools today.

I am so proud of the players’ efforts and attitude to finish runners-up – you are all a credit to yourselves and it was a pleasure to take you there today. Well done boys!

 

 

 

 

Halving Heroes in 1 Red

26th May 2022L Chisholm

This week in Year 1 we have been working hard to half both objects and quantities.  We figured out that if we halved something it meant that we shared it between one other equally.  We halved shapes, numbers of counters and sandwiches! We even ate both halves, I wonder what fraction that would make?

 

Our new additions in Reception!

26th May 2022K Richardson

Our new theme in Learning Means The World is ‘ What on earth?’  We have been looking at living things, old and new things and life cycles.  To ‘experience’ our learning we were so lucky to introduce in Reception some eggs in an incubator.  We watched the chicks hatch and grow.  Red and Blue class were a fabulous team and took great care of them!
