This autumn, the whole school had chance to learn how to draw portraits of their favourite characters. Kerry Cook, from the Sunderland Art Rooms, held a workshop for each year to teach the children the skills they need to produce effective portraits.
Over the last few weeks, the children in year 4 & 5 have been working very hard to make the sensory garden summer ready so everyone can enjoy it. They have dug out some very deep and stubborn weeds, cut back bushes and plants and have also planted many new flowers and vegetables in the beds which are growing very nicely. The potatoes and onions are coming on a treat and the peppers, chillies and salad veg are nearly ready to be replanted into the vegetable bed. The children enjoyed clearing away all the rubbish from the winter and adding a splash of colour with some new decorations. They already have many more ideas how to improve the garden. Keep an eye out on our page for more photographs.
Years 4-6 had a fun morning using different items of junk to make models. They thought about their design and what they wanted the out come to be. See if you can tell what some of them are?
The RNLI came to visit the school to teach us all about water safety. We learnt lots of hints and tips to keep safe around water and found out the best way to manage cold water shock if we ever fell into water. Some children also had the chance to dress up as Lifeguards!
