Four students from Year 2 were selected to take part in the BCCET KS1 Maths Challenge at Our Lady of The Rosary in Sunderland. They spent the afternoon working their socks off with arithmetic, problem solving and reasoning activities. They worked so hard that they won the group challenge and came 2nd overall out of 22 schools. What a fantastic achievement!
Year 5 WWT Washington Trip
Year 5 visited Washington Wetland Centre as part of their Science work on life cycles. We took part in pond dipping and found lots of minibeasts to study. We did a really good job of using the classification cards to try and identify the creatures we found. We discussed the importance of the environment being suitable for the wildlife and how conditions change throughout the year.
We then took part in a workshop and handled some specimens. We talked about the adaptations some animals have and why they might be useful in the wild. We discovered how the life cycles of different animals and plants differ before heading off to some educational talks. The playful otters were firm favourites!
The weather was in our favour so we had great fun exploring nature, bird spotting, and even squeezed in a quick turn in the park for our whole-class reward. A lovely day was had by all!
Y3 – Egyptologists!
Y3 enjoyed an exciting Ancient Egypt learning day led by a History specialist from Durham University. Our young archaeologists used their observational and enquiry skills to form theories about what a collection of objects were used for in Ancient Egypt.
We located Egypt on a map, identified the longest river in the world- the Nile and considered the surrounding trading areas. Children went on to consider what amulets were used for, then made their own from clay.
Then we explored a Mummy and what they can tell us about the individual, their life, their beliefs and culture.
Finally the children enjoyed a drama session which involved the weighing of the heart ceremony. Some of the children became mummified and were sent to meet the Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses who decided whether they would get to go to the afterlife or not!
The children really enjoyed the day and I’m sure this will act as a springboard for our Ancient Egypt learning!
Y3 Gymnastics – Symmetry & Asymmetry
Y3 enjoyed performing symmetrical and assymetrical routines in gymnastics last term. Here are a few of their creative shapes!
Y3 Liturgy- Journeys
Y3 celebrated their Journeys Liturgy with their families today. The children shared their own personal journeys and interests; while thoughtfully acknowledging the people that support them along the way. Y3 read and sung beautifully as we all shared a lovely community spiritual experience.
A big ‘thank you’ for supporting our book fair!
Year 2 Class Liturgy
Last week Year 2 took part in their first Class Liturgy. They thoroughly enjoyed planning this Liturgy all about ‘Books’ and sharing it with their parents. They all read and sang beautifully!
Children’s Mental Health Week
This week, we’ve been celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week. Our infant classes had an assembly from Miss Dixon and our junior classes had an extra special visitor. Lisa, from BlueJay Wellness, spoke to the junior classes about how to connect with others and why our connections help our own and other people’s mental health and well-being.
In our house meetings, we created jigsaw pieces that celebrate how we all connect as a school community. These will soon be on display for all our children to see.
Y3 Coding @ The Open Zone
Y3 enjoyed a day of programming at the Open Zone which is located inside our local library. The children created some exciting codes on a variety of programmes including Scratch. All of Y3 are now extra excited for their future Computing curriculum!
