Today in 1 Red we had our first music lesson. We looked at various musical instruments and played each one to see what sound they each made. Today’s lesson was focused on pitch and tone where the children were given an instruction and they had to follow them using the instrument. We then sang some familiar songs and played the instruments. Great fun was had by all.
1 Red came back after the summer break all recharged and ready to face year one with determination and true grit. We have worked hard in the first week to familiarise ourselves with the year one indoor and outdoor provision. We have focused on our new routines, expectations and challenges that lie ahead of us. All in all we have made a great start and are looking forward to the school year ahead!

1 Red had the wonderful opportunity to visit Beamish museum for their school trip. The were fabulous ambassadors for the school who were impeccably well behaved and were extremally excited and enthusiastic to learn about things that happened many years before they were born. They visited the dentist, farm, cottages where people lived and found out how different the houses were to where they live. They looked at old electrical equipment, visited the bank, the estate agents and they even got to see how sweets were made, but the best part of the visit was being able to sit as part of an infant school class, however many children said they preferred Mrs Sikka’s class and the Ma’am at Beamish school was very strict. We did lots of walking in the warm sun and everyone was so happy not one of them complained. They are an absolute credit to the school.
1 Red had the best afternoon taking part in our annual sports children. All the children had great fun taking part in all of the different races showing a great team spirit. It definitely helped having the glorious sunshine too!
