Year 4 Art

By

In Art, the children have been learning about Gustav Klimt and studied some of his pieces.

The children used the ideas of Klimt’s intricate detail and use of ‘Zentangles’ and re-created one of the patterns from the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer. They then created a relief by making this pattern 3D by using rice.

Next the children will embellish their patterns using foil to replicate the metallic look used in Klimt’s work.

Year 4 Science – Invertebrate Hunt

By

As part of our Science: Living Things and their Habitats, the children explored the areas of the school grounds to complete an invertebrate hunt.

The children used pots with a magnifying glass to look closely at the different creatures and followed a classification key to identify what type of invertebrate it was. We discovered the best place to find a range of habitats and creatures was on the school field next to the trim trail. The children had a great time exploring and managed to find a broad range of invertebrates on their hunt.

Y5 South Tyneside Athletics

By

Three teams of pupils enjoyed competing at Monkton Stadium in the South Tyneside Athletics last week. There were some brilliant results in the 75m sprint, 600m, howler throw and long jump. Everyone tried so hard and should be extremely pleased with their performances, especially on what was an usually hot day!

I was very so proud to see everyone  supporting each other with lots of enthusiasm and kind words. The children had tons of positive energy and it was a delight to hear them cheering each other on.

Well done, Year 5 – you truly are a fantastic team!

We had a fantastic time at Emmaus Youth Village. During our time there we learnt different forms of prayer including sign language, singing and dancing.

We spent a lot of time outside with our friends and enjoyed an ice-cream at the local park.

All the children behaved impeccably and were a delight to spend time with!

 

Y1 Orienteering

By

Y1 used their map reading skills to solve some orienteering challenges at South Marine Park. The children worked as teams to find clues and materials. Once they had completed the course they then used the materials collected to build a home for their team’s bear.

 

Post SATs Celebrations!

By

Year 6 have worked extremely hard this term and we have been very proud of the mature and determined attitude they have shown in their SATs.

The last few weeks of half term were a little more relaxed and we enjoyed some fun activities in class, a trip to the park and our jubilee celebrations.

We’re all now looking forward to next half term which will include our Y6 production Ali Babba and the Bongo Bandits, our leavers assembly and lots of transition activities to prepare us for secondary school.
