Y3 enjoyed travelling back in time to Prehistory today. The children created a human timeline that stretched back from 2021 to the beginning of the Stone Age. Everyone became young archaeologists as they handled and described a variety of artefacts. We learned about the changes from the Stone Age to the Iron Age; as well as playing Prehistoric games in a fun filled, educational afternoon!
Year 4 Arbeia Roman Fort Trip
The children in Year 4 have enjoyed a great day out to Arbeia Roman Fort in South Shields.
We enjoyed a tour of the fort learning about the history of the fort and what it was used for centuries ago. We also enjoyed taking part in an artefact handling session. The children also visited the Museum where they did a bit art work and after lunch went to the top of the West Gate to take in the beautiful views before taking a visit to the ‘gift shop’.
It was a pleasure to take out the children for their first school trip in a long time and their behaviour was impeccable. A great day out by all and after all that walking, they will definitely sleep tonight!

Y3 Cave Art
Y3 have been researching Stone Age art and investigated what early man would have used to create drawings.
The children experimented using natural materials to make shapes and lines. They used berries, leaves, charcoal and spices like cave men would have done thousands of years ago!
Y3 then produced their own fantastic prehistoric images. The fantastic art produced would not have been out of place in the spectacular artistic caves of Lascaux (France) or Altamira (Spain).
Y1’s Colour Creations
Year 1 have made a fantastic start to their ‘Colour Creations’ art topic. So far they have looked at art work created by Piet Mondrian, Mark Rothko, Paul Klee and Jackson Pollock. We observed their use of primary and secondary colours, as well as tints, shading and techniques which they used to create their art work. We then took inspiration from them to create our own masterpieces.
Science: PanPipes
The children have been learning about sound in Science and have been investigating the volume and pitch of a sound. They had to make an ‘instrument’ which could create different pitches.
The children thoroughly enjoyed being creative and making their straw pan-pipes!
First Week in Year 1
Our new Year 1 children have settled into their new class brilliantly this week. They have been excited to see and explore their new classroom, and have enjoyed some Elmer themed activities.
Summer Sport & Well-Being Club 2021
Thank you to the children who attended our Olympic themed sport and well-being club. We celebrated different cultures by visiting each continent that represent the Olympic rings. Activities included writing in Japanese hiragana, aboriginal dot paintings from Australia, producing a Maasai Necklace (Kenya), Athletics, Tag Rugby, Hockey, Futsal, Tug of War, Dodgeball, and much more. Thanks again to the brilliant children who will all receive their Olympic torch medals in September, as the Olympic values were displayed by everyone throughout!
Moving Toys
Year 5 had a fab afternoon making their moving toys, they didn’t move quite as much as we expected but we learned lots about dowels and cams!
Y2 Sports Day & Picnic
Year 2 had a lovely day today, with our class Sports Day in the morning and a picnic in the afternoon.
All of the children tried their hardest in each of their races and performed well, enjoying a well deserved treat this afternoon. They should all sleep well tonight!
Year 1’s Potatoes
Today we finally pulled up our potatoes that we have been growing since April. We planted 7 potatoes and grew a whopping 36! We boiled the potatoes and everyone had a try. They were delicious!
