To celebrate World Mental Health day on Monday, Year 4 took some “me time”. In between making our DT projects, we took some time to relax. We had a 5 minute meditation with some lovely soothing music using Tibetan singing bowls and also did some mindfulness colouring and drawing.
As part of our ‘A World of Bright Ideas’ theme, Year 6 have been busy planning a recipe, pitching it to the class and eventually creating a healthy snack. 6 Blue made breakfast bars and 6 Red decided upon fruit kebabs. The end results were fantastic! Well done everyone!
We have read the story of The Gingerbread Man. The children have enjoyed retelling the story, using the play dough to make their own gingerbread men, counting buttons on different gingerbread men and lots more!
The children used jelly tots, chocolate drops and icing sugar to decorate their own gingerbread man biscuit.
We think they did a great job and hope they enjoy eating them as much as they enjoyed decorating them!
World mental health day, we decided to have a Yoga session for our mindfulness ❤️ we chose ‘ We’re Going On A Bear Hunt!’ ❤️❤️ We also talked about how it is so important to keep our minds healthy and happy as well as what we should do if we are worried or sad.
Mornings really are the best part of the day, as this morning’s lovely sunrise over Hebburn and South Tyneside proves. What a lovely way to start the week.



We had a visit from the school nurses today. We talked about how it was so important to wash our hands and brush our teeth. We passed round a ball with glitter on to show how easy it is for germs to spread. We sang a song which helped to us to remember how to thoroughly wash our hands.
Next it was time to learn how to brush our teeth properly, count to 6 on every tooth and brush them twice a day. We are now experts 😀 🦷 🧼👏🏻
We have been busy bees in Reception today. Exploring, making new friends and physical fun Friday outside in the sun!
The children have settled into Year 1 wonderfully! We have already started our Learning Means The World Theme ‘ Happily Ever After’ in which we are researching fairy tales and their settings and characters. In our Maths we have been counting forwards and backwards and saying 1 more and 1 less than a given number. We are already learning so much and can’t wait to see what else we can do.
To mark the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll, each class has created different art works to remember her and celebrate her incredible reign. I’m sure you will agree that the pictures have truly captured what a remarkable monarch she was.
