Our young botanists in Y3 have been carefully dissecting the different parts of a flower. They’ve investigated the functions of the petals, stamen, carpel and sepal. The children discovered that tulips, chrysanthemums and carnations had more petals than sepals. As we move through Spring, I’m sure they’ll be identifying all of beautiful flowers growing in our local area!
Easter Mystery
On the last day of term, children in EYFS and KS1 will be given a copy of The Easter Story to share with their families at home. KS2 children will be given a copy of the Stations of the Cross, with images drawn by the Mini Vinnies, to take home to share with their families also.
By sharing the Easter story and the Passion of Christ, we remember the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. As a family, please take time to stop and think about the true meaning of Easter.
We wish you all a happy, healthy and holy Easter!
Stations of the Cross
During Lent, the children in Years 5 and 6 and in Years 3 and 4 enjoyed the experience of leading Stations of the Cross with parishioners at St Bede’s Church.
Here are some photos of Years 3 and 4 in church after Mass today.
Y3 at the Word!
Y3 enjoyed their final Spring trip to the library this morning. They changed their library books and enjoyed hearing a wonderful story, before completing some lovely activities.
Y3 Egyptologists @ Oriental Museum Durham!
Our Y3 Egyptologists enjoyed an inspiring visit to the Oriental Museum in Durham. Firstly, the children used their archaeological skills to interpret the use of a variety of interesting artefacts recovered from Ancient Egypt. We enjoyed an adventurous and informative gallery trail, where pupils even used the Rosetta Stone to interpret hieroglyphics. Another highlight, was seeing a contemporary mummified Egyptian body, which had been perfectly prepared for the afterlife. Meanwhile, the children creatively performed a dramatic weighing of the heart ceremony, where they demonstrated their brilliant role play skills! We had a wonderful day and this was a brilliant launch to our new History unit!
Y3 Animation Movie Makers @ Open Zone!
Year 3 enjoyed a visit to the brilliant Open Zone at the Word today. The children used various apps to create wonderful animated movies. I’m sure we’ll have some future creative movie producers!
Sharing stories for Storytelling Week
Storytelling Week
During Storytelling Week, our pupils teamed up across different classes for some shared reading. Children of different ages took turns exploring exciting tales together. It was a wonderful way to spend time together and celebrate the joy of books. What lovely reading we heard, too! 📚✨
Y3- Our Journeys!
The Y3 children shared a thoughtful and reflective Celebration of the Word today with their families. They described their own personal journeys with their favourite interests; while acknowledging the supportive family members who guide them and share the joy of their experiences.
Y3 Celebrating Chinese New Year & National Story Telling Week at the Word!
The Y3 children had a great morning at the Word celebrating both Chinese New Year & National Story Telling Week. Firstly, the children enjoyed being read David Walliams’ brilliant story, ‘There’s a Snake in my School.’ Afterwards, they used their creative skills to design and make wonderful Chinese lanterns. Finally, the children changed their books, before eagerly starting the first few pages of their exciting new stories.
Times Tables Rock Stars – Battle of the Bands Tournament
Well done to all the children who took part in our recent Whole School Girls vs Boys Battle of the Bands tournament on Times Tables Rock-Stars.
Overall, the Boys won the tournament but there were some very dedicated, hard-working children trying their best to score the most points!
The top 3 girls and the top 3 boys had a chance to show their “Rock’n’Roll” side for their winners photographs.
Congratulations to them all and well done!
Mrs Davis
