Year 1 had a fantastic time at the Marine Park this morning! They started with some den building in the forest area. The children’s creativity knew no bounds as they used sticks and leaves to construct cosy dens for their little characters.
Afterwards, they ventured into the play park and had a fun playing with the equipment on the big field. Their laughter and joy filled the air! And what better way to cool off than with a delicious ice cream? They devoured their treats with delight before hopping on the park train for not one, but two thrilling rides!

Year 1 then enjoyed a lovely lunch in the park with their friends. The children’s impeccable behavior throughout the day made us incredibly proud! Well done Year 1!

Our Monday night dance club recently performed a medley of songs from Matilda to a packed out audience at the Customs House in the  South Tyneside Dance Festival 2023. The children have been very enthusiastic in dance club and worked extremely hard to remember all of the routine. For some of our children this was their first time on stage.

Year 1 have enjoyed a week of activities celebrating the coronation on King Charles III. The children started by writing a story called The Runaway Crown, based on the story of the Gingerbread Man. We made collage images of the Kings head and crowns and even designed some royal underpants. The class have also written a special card to The King, wishing him well on his coronation day.

Year 1 went to the Open Zone @ The Word to learn more about coding, algorithms and debugging. We used the Lego WeDo equipment to build moving items, and controlled them through the iPads. The children then had a try of creating their own basic animations on the laptops, using the 2 Simple programme.

Some of our infant and junior children took part in South Tyneside’s Music Festival at the Customs House this week. The infant children performed in the musical ‘Two by Two in a Floating Zoo’ and the junior children performed in ‘Vikings’. They acted, sang and danced brilliantly – we couldn’t be prouder of them!

Year 1 looked amazing in their costumes for World Book Day. The children enjoyed a drawing lesson from Axel Scheffler and listened Julia Donaldson’s new book, The Baddies, read by the author on the computer. The children then showed off their writing and illustrating skills as they created their own pop up books.
