Each Wednesday morning our children take part in ‘paired reading’, this is where older children go and read with younger children.
As we saw the sun was out today we thought we’d take the session outside! Just makes it slightly more fun and memorable for our children.
The children in ARC2 are reading “Stone Age Boy” in Literacy.
Today they worked in pairs to act out a scene between the two main characters, thinking about their facial expressions and body language.
They practised their scene and then performed for the class.
‘TO GIVE, TO HELP, TO BE KIND AND CREATE HAPPINESS’
A new project has been introduced into the school
To Give, To Help, To Be Kind and Create Happiness.
The Giving Project volunteers thoughtfully made ‘Teeth Brushing Charts’ for every child in Reception. The Reception children had a visit from the Dental Nurse, to teach the children how to brush their teeth correctly and the importance of looking after their teeth.
The Teeth Brushing Charts will help children track their teeth brushing each day, morning and night,as they tick the chart, once they have brushed their teeth.
The charts were greatly received by the Reception children and Mrs Bingham and staff were very proud of the Giving Project children for being so kind and thoughtful and for volunteering in their spare time.
Reception celebrated National Numeracy Day by taking their learning outside today!
The children were tasked with going on a shape hunt in their outdoor area. They managed to find lots of examples of both 2D and 3D shapes!
Well done Reception!
Class 9 worked well together today to build circuits as part of their science learning. They had to ensure they were complete circuits so that the bulb would light up or the sensor would buzz.
Well done Class 9!
Year 5 have had a visit from Jaswinder Singh from North East Sikh Service to share with the children thoughts on the catalyst question in RE; How do Sikhs show commitment and belonging?
The children also had an opportunity to ask questions and participate in traditional Sikh meditation together.
Children across the school enjoyed coming into school in their pyjamas on Friday to raise money for our Opal lunchtime play provision.
Take a look at all our lovely outfits!

Year 5 have thoroughly enjoyed building the goblin car ready to race at Gateshead Stadium.
The Greenpower challenge to build an electric car supports science and design technology curriculum areas.
The children were extremely enthusiastic about the project!
Well done Year 5!
As part of Year 1/2’s latest Dimensions theme Dancing Spy, the children imagined that they were spies just like Josephine Baker working for the French Resistance.
They worked together, using a secret code to crack some messages, just like they would have done in World War II!
Well done Year 1/2!
The children in the ARC had to work in teams for their Commando Joe mission today.
They had to build a shelter to protect them from a storm, making sure it was big enough for the whole team to fit in. They came up with some really inventive ideas to create their dens.
Well done!
