In gymnastics, Year 2 have been learning how to make different bridge positions. They have worked on holding a steady position while balancing and had lots of fun moving in their bridges.

In Year 3, the boys and girls have learned about fossilisation and explored the process through making their own fossils. The children used clay and plaster of paris so although they didn’t have to wait millions of years, a full week felt like an eternity.

In Design and Technology Year One have been investigating how pictures move. They made a zooming rocket using a slider. Then we all zoomed off to space!

Year One have been learning all about Mary Anning. The children made a palaeontologist tool belt with a chisel and a magnifying glass. They also made the ammonite necklace that her dad gave to her. They acted out different parts of the story and discussed how it felt to be Mary.

Year 6 have been designers and inventors in the making this week! They have researched what Morse Code transmitters were and how they were used to send coded messages during World War II. They have then designed and made their own transmitter. It was tricky to make the net, but in the end they all m

The bottle had to fit underneath both upright and lying on its side, and the bridge had to be strong enou

In Science, Year 2 have been learning about food chains. The children have been using some scientific vocabulary such as: predator, prey, producer, consumer, herbivore, carnivore and omnivore. The children were keen to make their own food chain. They did this by linking their parts in a paper chain

This week at nursery, the children have been excited to talk about their experiences of bonfire night.  We talked about fireworks and created our own firework pictures using marbles dipped in paint to roll across our pictures.  We made a pretend bonfire outside and ate marshmallows that we pretend

Year 4 have been creating sketch maps of our local area this week. To ensure they were accurate and to add extra details -such as bus stops, traffic lights and foot bridges- we got out and about with a walk to the Angel of the North! The children (and adults!) had great fun visiting the Angel. &nbsp
