Our Year 2 class had a wonderfull visit to The Word today! The children were buzzing with excitement as we explored the world of literature and picked out some fantastic new books for our class library. It was great to see them so engaged and eager to dive into new stories.
After our book adventure, we channeled our creativity with a fun autumn crafting session. The children made sheep out of pine cones and cotton wool, linked to one of the stories that was shared by the lovely librarian .
A big thank you to The Word for inspiring a love of reading and creativity in our young learners. We’re excited to dive into our new books and continue exploring the magic of literature!

As part of our Science topic about the human body, the children have been learning about the circulatory system.
In today’s lesson, the children investigated the affects of exercise on our heart rate.
The children found their pulse and recorded their resting heart-rate. Then they did some vigorous dancing along to some Jump Start Johnny then recorded their heard rates again immediately after exercise and every minute for 5 minutes.
We had a great discussion about why their heart rates increased during exercise.

Year 5 recently enjoyed a wonderful history workshop with Richard (‘That History Bloke’).
We explored the lives of Anglo Saxon monks which is part of our History topic this term. Richard really brought the past to life as he shared many aspects of Anglo Saxon times with us. Just as Richard intended, we learned lots and we had lots of fun!
Here is a selection of photos of the children enjoying their brilliant afternoon:

Year 1 enjoyed a fantastic trip to ‘The Word’ library as part of National Green Library Week. The event was designed to highlight the importance of sustainability and encourage children to explore books in a creative way.
During our visit, the children took part in a fun hands-on activity, making cardboard trees to celebrate the environment. They worked together to craft beautiful trees using recycled materials, which really helped to bring out their artistic skills. It was a wonderful opportunity to reinforce the message of looking after our planet while letting their creativity shine.
After the tree-making activity, the children had the chance to explore the library and select a book to bring back to school. Their excitement in choosing their own books was a joy to see, and they were eager to begin reading them in class. These books will be part of our classroom reading area for the children to enjoy together, helping to foster their love for reading.
A big thank you to ‘The Word’ library for hosting such an enjoyable event!
Year 4 Ancient Greek Workshop from ‘That History Bloke.’
In History, the children in Year 4 are learning about the ‘Ancient Greeks’.
This week, they enjoyed a very interesting and informative visit from Richard, ‘That History Bloke’.
They explored:
Richard also serenaded the class with his lyre and panpipes and the children dressed up in the regalia of a Hoplite soldier.
It was a fantastic experience and Richard brought the topic to life with his amazing knowledge and enthusiasm.

Our Y3 mini-archaeologists enjoyed a very interesting and fun Stone-Bronze Age event today!
We learned about the chronology of Prehistory and analysed an exciting range of ancient artefacts. Y3 constructed a skeleton and investigated what we could deduce from the bones. Our young historians also used clay to mould some creative Bronze Age pottery. Thank you to Paddy from Durham University for leading a brilliant day!

Last week, Year 5 had the fantastic opportunity to work with some of the players from Newcastle Eagles. They took part in the wonderful Hoops 4 Health roadshow. The afternoon concentrated on health messages such as mental and social wellbeing, how to stay fit and look after the heart and lungs, healthy eating including portion size and a balanced diet. Plus, there was the opportunity to play some basketball. Year 5 worked very hard and had a brilliant afternoon. Here are some photos of what we got up to:
