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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Year 2 have been learning all about primary and secondary colours in Art this week. We each had a go at making purple, green and orange. It was amazing watching the colours change, ‘it is like magic’! We also took our time to create some lovely mindfulness colouring pictures. It was tricky but we took our time to colour within the lines and not
Today, KS2 children were lucky to have a visit from Dr David Stellon from the University of Sunderland to deliver a fun assembly all about World Anatomy Day. We learned about… What is anatomy, Who needs to know anatomy for their job and the he anatomy of voice – specifically how we speak – looking at how the larynx makes sounds and how we
In Year 4 this term we are learning about the place value of numbers to 10,000. We have loved exploring four digit numbers and used the resources in our Maths area to represent these. This week has been all about partitioning four digit numbers into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones, we have been using the place value counters to help us. Take a look
