So this years theme was ‘Out Of This World’ and wow what an amazing day we had! Here are just some of the fantastic pictures of the amazing costumes, beautiful art and creative activities we did. We also had an ‘out of this world ‘ workshop with Josh from RTC.
This week we have been working with Scratch Junior on the Ipads generating algorithms (a series of commands) for a sprite (a controllable character). The children worked in pairs and really enjoyed the sessions. They created some wonderful work while showing some real Pathfinder qualities!
In our Learning Means The World theme we looked at programming and the algorithms we can make. We used Scratchjr to start looking at programming commands and making our sprite move across the screen. We worked with our partner and wrote a set of commands together to complete our activity. It was great fun!
Dear Parent / Carer
The Department for Education (DfE) has provided grant funding to South Tyneside Council, to
co-ordinate free holiday provision for children and young people aged 5-16 years entitled to freeschool meals. The HAF programme has key objectives for children including:
To have access to free healthy food over the school holidays
To be more active during the school holidays
To take part in free fun, engaging and enriching activities supporting resilience and wellbeing
To be safe and make new friends in a sociable environment.
During the main school holidays of Easter, Summer and Christmas thousands of places can be booked ‘free of charge’ for a vast range of sport, arts/crafts, dance, and drama activities, along with family events such as bowling at The Dunes, nature activities at the Brockley Allotments and performances at The Customs House. We also have organisations that provide specific sessions for
SEND children.
All information regarding the activities on offer and how to book can be found at:
www.southtyneside.gov.uk/holidayclub and bookings for our Spring programme will go live at
4pm on Friday 17 th March.
Please refer to the letter and leaflet attached for more information.
After reading ‘The tiger who came to tea’ in English, we decided to invite a different type of animal for tea. We thought about who to invite and made a list of things that we could have for tea. One of the suggestions was a jam sandwich. The children read and followed a set of instructions to help them make their own jam sandwiches. We wrote our own set of instructions for others to follow. The children said it was the best English lesson ever!
In our theme of Unity In The Community we have been looking at our local area and discussing what we can see around us daily. The children realised that their area has lots of trees and plants and we discussed what these plants needed to grow. We then planted our own Lima bean and we can’t wait to see if we get beans from it. We then labelled a plant and if you ask us,
we can tell you the difference between an Evergreen tree and a Deciduous tree (Yes we are that clever!)
School Council introduce the Hebburn Lakes chant!
We have a new chant, using ideas from all of the children… it is fabulous!
