We have been listening to stories, writing stories and looking for our favourite characters hidden in the classroom. We chose our favourite books and Yr6 came to read with us. We’ve had a lovely day.
Class 2 Visited The Discovery Museum, Newcastle.
We learned more about George & Robert Stephenson, then designed, built and raced air powered trains. After our packed lunch we explored the museum and found some activities which really made us think, we used our skills to solve problems.
The choir performed at St. Cuthbert’s Church Crib service on Tuesday 3rd December. They performed Let It Snow, Silent Night (in both English and German) and finally Must Be Santa. They all sang beautifully – well done everyone!
Year 6 visited SafetyWorks! to take part in a series of interactive safety scenarios to help them learn how to live safely and prevent danger.
They were taught how to cross the road safely and how to identify fire dangers in the bedroom. They also experienced escaping from a fire and making the 999 call. The children saw a hospital ward and practised the recovery position. At the West Fifteen Metro Station, they found out how to travel safely and the dangers of the overhead cables. In the police station they found out what happens when someone is arrested and considered the possible impact of personal choices.
It was a very enjoyable visit with invaluable learning.
We visited Bede’s World to find out more about life in Anglo-Saxon times.
We had a great day visiting animals, trying biscuits, putting criminals on trial and re-enacting a battle.
The children in Year 5 and Year 6 enjoyed their Viking visitor. He brought with him his belongings, clothing and weapons. The children had lots of fun trying on the clothes and one person even got to experience a Viking burial! They even found out how to use a spear! Everyone learnt lots of new facts and had lots of fun. What a great day!
