Year 4 have enjoyed their learning in their Viking topic, including an immersive day learning about battle formations, archeology, how Viking Tribes would have made decisions and playing Viking games.
As part of their learning in class the children learnt about the importance of signs and symbols to the Vikings, they incorporated some of these signs into their own models of Viking Longboats.
The children in ARC 1 visited Washington Riding Centre this morning. They had a brilliant time riding the horses, every child embraced this new experience and thoroughly enjoyed themselves!
Amazing afternoon for Year 4 just before we broke up for May half term. Despite some reservations, all of the children caught a wave and had the best time surfing with South Shield Surf School.
Looking forward to the rest of our lessons over the next few weeks.
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.
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 3 Gardening Club have been busy weeding the flowerbeds and planting sunflowers this week!
They’re looking forward to looking after them over the next few weeks and seeing how they grow!
The children in ARC2 have loved their topic all about Africa.
We have learnt all about the country Kenya, linked to our text “Lila and the Secret of the Rain”. We have learnt about compass points and used them to navigate around maps of the Savannah, learnt lots of facts about the “Big 5” African animals and classified animals in different ways. We even made smoothies using fruits that grow in Africa. We explored the features of a lions face, as well as the colour palette needed to help us make amazing paper mache lion masks.
Well done ARC2!
ARC 1 have been learning about the Hindu festival of colour, Holi. We learnt about some of the traditions and then made our own brightly coloured splatter paintings
