As part of our ‘Children’s Champion’ theme we have been looking at how schools used to be during Thomas Barnardo’s time and why he decided to step in to help the most poverty stricken children. He created ‘Ragged Schools’ in which all children who were without a home or were poor could access eductaion. They had 3 lessons, the 3 R’s (riting, reading and rithmatic). We have decided we don not want to be in a Victorian school as the chalk made our hands mucky and we couldn’t talk!
We have been taking full advantage of the sunshine today and have been enjoying all our OPAL areas. As you can see we have had an amazing time!

In 2 Blue this week we have been looking at measuring in centimetres and metres. We have measured long and short items around our classroom and in the wider school. We looked at all of the different ways in which measuring can be done, our favourite was the Trundle wheel! We know that to get an accurate measurement we must make sure we line our ruler or tape measure up nice and straight and that we start at zero.

We went on our class trip to Hartlepool Marina where we visited the HMS Trincomalee, a Royal Navy vessel which is more than 200 yrs old! We looked at different artefacts that would be used on voyages and explored the ship from the gun deck to the captains quarters. We looked around the Hartlepool navy museum and found out lots of interesting facts such as: Each sailor had a number on their hammock and when they died their number was up and they were wrapped in their hammock. They were even sewn into the hammock with the last stitch going through their nose! This was done in case any of the sneaky sailors pretended they were dead to escape the life at sea. Despite the weather being terrible the children had a great time!
Another great Book Day in Hebburn Lakes!
2 Red loved spending the week looking at fractured fairytales and created their own very imaginative versions of Cinderella.
We then ended the week with a whole range of fairytale-themed activities such as a character hunt around the school, a decorated door competition, reading in the Hansel and Gretel Hobbit Hut, performing like fairytale characters in the Magical Forest performance area, challenges of building houses of sticks and bridges of paper, and many, many more fun activities!
