Year 5 WW2 evidence…
We looked at photographic evidence of the effect of WW2 on Sunderland and were history detectives! We looked at pictures of bombing raids on the city and were shocked at the damage and destruction they caused!
Fantastic Year 2 Maths work!
This week we have been flexibly partitioning numbers to 100 using denes! Take a look…
Year 4 make bread like Anglo-Saxons
This term in History we are learning all about the Anglo-Saxons. We have been exploring what village life would have been like and discussing the types of food they would eat and how they would source their food. We learnt that the Anglo-Saxons made bread just using flour and water, we decided to try it and see whether we thought it was as nice
Year 4 – Active Festival
Some of the children in Year 4 attended the Silksworth Sports Complex active festival this week. The children had a fantastic time learning some new skills along with other schools across Sunderland. The children played games such as dodgeball, practiced their archery skills and even tried out some cheerleading poses. A great morning had by all.
Week Three in Year 1…
This week, Year 1 headed out on an exciting Autumn Seasonal Hunt! We explored the changing colours of the leaves, felt the crunch beneath our feet when walking through them and looked for the first signs that autumn had arrived. The children used their senses to observe the world around them and we worked together to find things that were on our Autumn check
Year 3 – Collage creators
As part of our art topic this half term, the children have been looking at a variety of artists who create collage art work. Today, we created our very own collages in the style of Henri Matisse. The children thought carefully about their theme and then which shapes and colours they would need to use to create their collage.
Year 5 explore chemical reactions…
Today we looked at reversible and irreversible changes. We could explain and sort changes really well too and remembered a lot from last year! We then predicted what would happen if we mixed bicarbonate of soda (a solid) with vinegar ( a liquid) and we got to see the making of a gas-carbon dioxide-we were amazed when the balloon inflated! We were even more
Week Two in Year One…
This week we have been looking at our new story, The Gruffalo. We have made Gruffalo masks, role played as different characters from the book and created our own sentences. In maths, we have been learning about place value and have been counting, matching numbers with words and also finding one more and one less than a number.
Year 3 become geologists
This week, Year 3 became geologists in our science lesson. We were sent a VERY important letter from Sunderland City Council asking us to test a variety of rocks for the new statue they are planning to build in the city centre. We tested if they were scratch proof, water proof and hard wearing. The children loved getting hands on and decided that granite would be the best option for the statue.
