Dr Bike session at Hebburn Lakes.
Please bring your bike to school today. Make sure it is in a bike shed ready for inspection. Any minor faults will be fixed.
As part of our ‘Happily Ever After’ theme we decided that our favourite story character would benefit from a pot to keep their favourite item safe eg. Cinderella could keep her jewelery in or Granny could keep her biscuits in it to hide them from The Big Bad Wolf. We used clay and made a thumb pot. We looked at how to pinch, mould and manipulate our clay to make our desired shape. We then used a range of tools to ‘score’ our clay to make it patterned.
This week the children were introduced to the part – whole model in maths. We played around changing the numbers in the two parts and added them together to find the whole. We made number sentences to go with our models. We noticed that we can change the number sentence around when adding together.
Well done to those children who achieved 100% attendance last week!
This week in our Maths lessons we have been looking at the part – whole model and how we can use it to complete our addition work. We have looked at all the commutative ways we can make the number and how we can show our answers using the model. We are absolutely amazing, even starting to use 3 and 4 parts to our model.
Mornings really are the best part of the day, as this morning’s lovely sunrise over Hebburn and South Tyneside proves. What a lovely way to start the week.

In 1 Blue we made biscuits for Little Red Riding Hood to take to Granny! The children used the scales to measure and weigh out the ingredients and mixed them together before cutting them into shapes. We then explored using the scales with different objects and liquids.
