We had a visit from Reverend Ian at St. John’s church. He talk about Remembrance Sunday. He mentioned how we remember things (like playing a memory game) and how it is so important to remember people who went to war. He then explained how in the bible it mentions peaceful people dying for good people and that we should not take peace for granted.
We took part in our first gymnastics PE session with the coach. We looked at the correct form and posture needed to create a safe and controlled forward, pencil, tuck and backwards roll. We had a great time and can’t wait for next week to learn new skills.
In our theme of ‘Zero To Hero’ we have been looking at Thomas Eddison who created the lightbulb and how we use this invention daily. We then looked at how we can make lightbulbs and other equipment work using electricity with mains power and battery power. We looked at different batteries and thought about what toys we had at home that needed batteries to work.
If you are ever stuck on how to add 3 digits together just ask one of us! We are amazing and found that we could use our 10’s frames to place each number. We then realised that once we had made them the other number was easy to see. We are experts now and were able to answer some mastery questions.

Sweet Caroline and the Football Boots is a fun, interactive, music-led performance for all the family with local musicians Ashleigh Lowes and Paige Temperley.
The songs in this performance have been co-created and inspired by girls football teams from across South Tyneside. The story is about the journey of “Sweet” Caroline, a small girl from South Tyneside who is desperate to be a footballer and who teams up with her older neighbour to take on the boys! It is an engaging story of discovering your talent, overcoming stereotypes, finding your team and having confidence in yourself, with a fun, uplifting message for a young audience.
As part of the ticket price, there will be themed food served after the show – and as it is football-themed, there has to be Bovril, sausage rolls and pies!
Running time – 45 minutes
Tickets can be purchased via Eventbrite link HERE
Get yourself booked up and come and see the fabulous story of ‘Sweet’ Caroline… (Ba-ba-baaaah)
As part of R.E. we have been learning about Moses and how important he is within the Jewish religion. We looked at the early years of Moses and designed a slider to show Moses floating along the river in his basket. We then read the story of the Burning Bush and how God instructed him to go and release the Israelites. After that, we looked at how Passover is celebrated and we designed our our Sedar plate then thought about all the ways we are thankful and added tham to our Menorah candles.
In 2 Blue this week we have been looking at what Media stars and people working in the media industry work with. We looked at some of the equipment and decided that they have a lot of buttons to remember. We then experimented with our very own podcast station and we interviwed our friend using questions that we had created. We each took a turn asking and answering the questions and obviously experimenting with the different sound buttons on the pod cast machine! At the end of the session we decided that we wanted to generate some questions to use to interview Mrs Moody. We came up with some corkers that we can’t wait to hear the answers to!
In English this week we have been looking at finding information about the text we are reading. We have found a skill that helps us dig deeper into what we predict the book could be about. The children were introduced to the front cover of Tad by Benji Davies and before we even opened the book we decided to dig into our minds to think of ideas the book could be about and what vocabulary we may come across. We worked in teams and created a ‘Mind Map’ of our ideas and connections. We were then able to read the story undertand the vocabulary and sequence with greter depth.

This week we have been looking at differnt skills we can use to improve our English work. We looked at a set of instructions and at first were a little baffled by all the information we could see. However, when we looked at each part of the instructions we realised that we could sort them into key areas E.G. Title, equipment, method etc. This helped us greatly when we had to write instructions on how to build our own ‘ME’ robot.
