Worry Monster

By

We are currently in the process of setting up access to a ‘worry monster’ in each classroom. This is a place where they can write their name on a post-it note with any worry they may have and “feed” it to the worry monster. This can  happen throughout the day and teaching staff regularly check the worry monsters, find a quiet place to talk to the child and address any worries that they might have. This is an opportunity for the children to share any worries and for us to try and help and offer support.

While the children are not at school, we are aware that they may still have worries or questions that they might want to share or ask. We want to be able to continue to offer this type of support as much as we can while we are currently not in school. So, we have now set up a dedicated email address. This is for the children to use. They can email us with any worries or questions they may have. Mrs Welsh, Mrs Devine and Mrs Mackley will all have access to the email service, so we will hopefully be able to address any worries.

The email address is ineedtotalk@st-bedes.s-tyneside.sch.uk

Year 1 at Hall Hill Farm

By

Year 1 have had a fun filled day at Hall Hill Farm. We started with a look at the animals around the farm. The children then got the chance to feed some of the sheep and lambs.

We also enjoyed a very bump tractor ride and handled some of the smaller animals such a chicks, guinea pigs and rabbits.

 

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.

 

Y1 Technology Tom Visit

By

Year 1 have enjoyed a visit from Technology Tom this week, to support with our Science and Design Technology topics of ‘Materials’ and ‘Structures’. The children looked at the different properties of materials and how each one has its own unique benefits.

We were then shown just how strong paper can be when it is rolled into a cylinder. The children created some tall structures and two children were even brave enough to stand on one. Mr Henderson then has a try, unfortunately though he was too heavy.

In the afternoon the children worked in groups of three to create their own structure, using the information they had gained in the morning. They work brilliantly in their teams and created houses, castles, van, bridges and much more. Some structures even had working features. Here are a few photos from the day.

Marvellous Microscopes

Year 1 have been taking a closer look at some of the leaves, nuts and seeds they have been collecting as part of their autumn topic. They used a variety microscopes and magnifying glasses, which have been kindly loaned to the school by the Royal Microscopical Society. The children found it very interesting to see the different patterns and veins in the leaves. They even noticed a few holes where insects had been feasting.
