Back with a Bang!

10th January 2025N Sikka

1 Red have returned to school after the Christmas break very keen and eager to learn. In maths the children have working on place value within 20 and have been playing independently with a range of resources to support their learning. In Learning Means the World our new theme is ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat.’ We have been using a compass to plot and navigate points around the world and looking at the seven different continents and the countries within each one. We have used lots of role play to support our learning in both LMTW and English around the theme of pirates. The children have really enjoyed this aspect of learning and are linking it to other aspects of the curriculum and within their independent work. In PE we are exploring dance using our bodies to embrace rhythm and movement.

Geography with singing!

10th January 2025Ashley Clark

Today in our geography lesson, we looked at the 7 continents and the 5 oceans. We learned two songs to help us remember all of the continents and oceans. We then were able to identify where the continents are on the map and as a challenge, we located the oceans. If you ask us, we will be able to sing you our songs!

Greetings from around the world!

5th December 2024N Sikka

This week in LMTW we have been looking at links with other countries. The children were asked if they had any family or friends who lived in different countries, then they talked to each other about them. We shared various greetings from other countries such as ‘ola’, ‘bonjour’, ‘guten tag’ and ‘namaste’. The children had great fun working in partners greeting each other in different languages. We also looked at the world map to see where some of our family and friends lived.

A busy week in Reception

This week in Reception we have been using our knowledge of circles and triangles to sort and create shape pictures. We used lots of positional language as we made our way round the obstacle course. We have been working on our Sounds Write skills and made lots of fabulous creations!

Arctic Explorers!

11th November 2024N Sikka

In Year One we have become ‘Arctic Explorers’ as part of our theme ‘Come Fly with me Arctic Circle’. The children are really enjoying role-playing in our Arctic area. They have to use associated language and ‘act out’ living as an Inuit in the Arctic. They are having great fun reading and writing about all things Arctic too!

Reception first week back!

8th November 2024K Richardson

A fabulous first week back! We have been looking at China in our Learning Means The World theme ‘Come fly with me Asia’. We have been looking at Chinese artefacts, writing our names in Chinese and we even made a Chinese restaurant in our home corner! We also talked about Remembrance Sunday and made poppies, our tree is looking amazing!

2 Blue- Rainforest Art Explorers!

10th May 2024L Martin

2 Blue have had a fantastic time exploreing the Sunderland Winter Garder rainforest through art.

They sketched in the forest, looking carefully at the different types of leaves, and then created some master pieces in the museum classroom using different types and shades of pastels.

We even had time to sqeeze in scavenger hunt around the rest of the museum!

The children were a credit to the school with their excellent manners and behaviour.
