We had an amazing trip to Northumberland Zoo on Thursday! Everyone was so excited on the bus, there were lots of happy faces. In the morning, we went to see all the animals. We saw everything from meerkats to ravens to wallabies and even tarantulas! Some of us were a little bit scared, but we were very brave to make sure we didn’t miss out on anything! We loved looking at all the old tractors too, we definitely wanted to get our photos taken on them!

After lunch we had a play in the soft play and on the mini tractors. Thank you to the parents who sent money in, everyone loved them! Just before we got on the mini bus to come back to school, we all had either ice cream or a cupcake as a treat. What an excellent day!

We hope everyone has a lovely half term and we can’t wait to see you back at school on the 5th June ready for the last half term!

We’ve had such an amazing morning at Nunsmoor Fair. There was so many rides which we managed to get on… we didn’t want to leave. The Twister and the the Waltzer were definitely firm favourites for all the dare devils in class! We are so very proud of how all of the children behaved too! Thank you so much to the Police and the Fair for inviting us along, we certainly managed to make lots of happy memories that we’ll never forget!

What a busy half term we have had in Class 11, even though it has just been five weeks! This half term we’ve had a few snow days, World Book Day, Swallowing Awareness day and much much more! Today we’re going to end the half term with an Easter sing-a-long this morning and hydrotherapy this afternoon, with a Easter egg hunt in the middle!

We hope that everyone has a happy, healthy and safe Easter holidays and we can’t wait to see all our lovely smiley faces back in school on Monday 17th April. Enjoy the pictures!

What a surprise it was to wake up on Thursday and find some lovely fresh snow! We couldn’t wait to have our breakfast and get out to play in the snow!

We wrapped up in our waterproofs and coats and rushed outside to find some fresh snow to play in. We started off going to the mud kitchen and found some diggers and toys to play with. Then, we had a walk round and found some different footprints in the snow; we saw some bird footprints and even some rabbit footprints! Then, we were very lucky that we managed to get our hands on some sledges. We found a little hill and decided to have some races. We might of had a little snowball fight too!

It’s great to take advantage of the snow whilst it’s here… it’s not often we get to have a snow day!

We had a great day celebrating World Book Day on Thursday. We loved seeing everyone’s amazing costumes, ranging from Dorothy, the Hungry Caterpillar and Captain America!

In class we’ve been focusing on traditional fairytales. We’ve done a Jack and the Beanstalk themed sensory story which has been great fun, but on Thursday morning we had a Three Little Pigs themed activity. We got some straw, sticks and some building bricks so we could build all of the different types of houses that the three little pigs have. We loved building all the different houses! Then, the Big Bad Wolf came and shouted “I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house down!”. It was really good fun!

Just before dinner time, we went down to Zoolab. They told us a story called ‘We’ve going on an animal hunt’ and they brought around lots of different creepy crawlies! We got the chance to hold a cockroach, a snake, a rat and a spider! Some of us were brave enough to touch and even hold the animals, whilst some of us preferred to watch on from a distance!

In the afternoon we had our special World Book Day assembly, where we got to listen to lots of stories, guess who was reading us a story in the Masked Storyteller and get to take part in a catwalk to show off all of our fabulous costumes!

A great day was had by all!

Hello everyone! What a busy week we’ve had again in Class 11.

On Tuesday, we had a special assembly around Valentine’s day and pancake day. This was lots of fun as we watched Mr Rollings and Alex made lots of yummy pancakes for us to try with chocolate, lemon and sugar, honey and jam! We then also sampled some pancakes in class that had chocolate on – they disappeared very quickly! Afterwards, we all sat round and received our lovely Valentine’s cards from Sophia. We hope you all enjoyed the presents that got sent home on Tuesday! We really enjoyed making them.

On Thursday we have outdoor learning. We get our waterproofs on and take ourselves out to the mud kitchen. We get all the pots, pans and kitchen utensils out and make each other mud pies, with lots and lots of mud gravy! It’s great to hear everyone’s big voices when they play together! If you have any old waterproofs or wellies that you could donate, we would be very appreciative.

On Fridays we go swimming. Although we haven’t made it there this week due to the training day, we’ve got lots of pictures from last week we want to share! For some children, it is a great opportunity to stretch and relax our muscles, whilst for some children it’s great to gain confidence whilst working with friends. We have a great time and make sure everyone gets wet!

But today we had a very special day. We had our black and white day to celebrate Newcastle United making it to Wembley. In assembly we sang lots of songs about Newcastle, whilst also celebrating Fran from Sing School who sadly left us to go to a new job today. This afternoon, we then had some messy play with wet and dry cereal and play dough. Everyone got stuck in and had an amazing time. Sorry if your child came home a little bit dirty!

Just a heads up that Tuesday 28th February is a proposed strike day, but more information will come on the first day back. We hope everyone has a happy, healthy and safe half term. We’ll see you all back in school on Monday 27th February!

We have had so much fun in Class 11 since Christmas! We’ve loved having all of our friends back in class and getting to play together.

One of the main events we’ve had is our whole school Celidh. We came together with all of our friends from around school to have a good old dance! Mr Rollings told us what we needed to do and we grabbed hold of each other’s hands and had real good fun.

We have also started having PE with Graeme on a Monday morning too. Graeme is great at getting us moving and ready for the week ahead. We play with the footballs, the hula hoops and at the end, Graeme plays a game of dodgeball and tries to get us with the balls! It reminds us that we need to look from left to right which is great practice for when we cross the road.

Finally, when the weather was bad and there was lots of snow on the ground, we had our playtime in soft play. It was great fun being able to burn off our energy before we have our dinner. It helps us to build lots of friendships with the other children in class.

We would be very grateful for any snacks that you are able to donate to us, we love bite and dissolve crisps like quavers, skips and wotsits!

Have you seen Hadrian Schools’s Amazon wishlist? All classes pop some resources on to the wishlist that we would love to have. Any donations through there are also gratefully appreciated!

Enjoy the photos!

Bilal brought in chocolate for all of his friends.

We really enjoyed our Christmas Dinner

Our outdoor Christmas Carol service was a roaring success.

We made reindeer hats in class to wear to our Christmas party! We’ve had so much fun this week! The Party was especially fun, we loved having a dance and even saw Santa Claus! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, from Class 11.
