On Monday it was Halloween. We all came to school dressed up in our costumes and had a Halloween party with our friends. It was great fun!

In the morning we had a witchy sensory story. We made a potion using lots of different ingredients, some of them were very yucky (like witches hair and snot, yuck!). In the afternoon we had a disco with friends from other classes. We all danced to spooky music in the sports hall and played party games. Before going home we had a Halloween tea party and ate some cakes and sweets. What a fun Halloween!

On Tuesday we did lots of work on our maths skills. We really enjoyed singing Halloween themed number songs. Some of us went to the library to do some counting and number work too.

In the afternoon we went outside with a checklist of things we had to find. We all worked together to tick off every item on the list. Great teamwork! After that, we went to the thrive room to do some role play and turn taking games.

On Wednesday we started talking about Bonfire Night. We made some fantastic firework art using paint, teabags, straws, string, and chalk. We watched some firework videos so we could listen to all of the different sounds that they make. After that, we learnt the signs for ‘firework’ and sang and danced along to the Katie Perry song!

In the afternoon we had some great fun at Rebound Therapy!

On Thursday we had a very fun hydrotherapy session. We are getting very brave when getting in and out of the pool now. After that, we saw some of our friends from other classes at sing school. We learnt some new songs all about fireworks and loved getting to make loud firework noises!

To end the week we had lots of practice with our fine motor skills. We have been writing our names and drawing lots of different shapes, following along the lines with our pens to make circles, triangles, squares, zig zags, and swirls. We also had a dough disco which was very fun!

On Friday afternoon we had a very fun fireworks assembly. We got to see a real bonfire and watch as the fireworks were set off into the sky. They were very loud but we were all so brave!

On Wednesday we had a wonderful trip to the Great North Museum. We took part in a dinosaur workshop where we had to dig for fossils! We used our detective skills to discover and identify lots of different dinosaur fossils and eggs. We even found some sharp dinosaur teeth! On our walk around the museum we came across a huge T Rex skeleton! It was so much bigger than us but we were very brave.

On Monday we had our sensory story. We searched through a snow storm, a river, and a swamp to find a dinosaur! In the afternoon we had a very busy PE lesson. We have been working super hard on our balancing. Look how good we are!

On Tuesday we got prepared for our Harvest Festival by singing lots of songs, making Polish Cream Fudge, and going on an autumn leaf hunt! We used the leaves to make a fantastic tree picture for our classroom.

On Thursday we had another fun session in the hydrotherapy pool. It’s one of our favourite things to do! In the afternoon, we went to the food tech room to make some delicious sandwiches. We had to choose between bread or bagels and chocolate spread or jam (some of us even had both!)

On Friday we worked very hard practicing our mark making and fine motor skills. We also worked on our social skills by playing some turn taking games and being very kind to each other. We even had time for a lovely story before going home for the weekend.

We have been very busy this week! On Monday we took part in a sensory story. We had to make it through a snow storm, a muddy swamp, and a dark cave to find a dinosaur! We have also been doing some fantastic listening and identifying all sorts of animal sounds. Before going home we had a PE lesson which tired us all out!

On Tuesday morning we worked on our mark making, and then did some fantastic counting all the way to 10! In the afternoon we read each other some lovely stories and did some fab role playing games in our thrive room. What a great day!

On Wednesday we had a lovely breakfast to celebrate a special birthday for Michelle (the children think she is 7 and we’re not going to correct them! Haha!). We then went on our yoga adventure and thought about how big dinosaur feet are before we made our own using card and paints.

On Thursday we enjoyed a great hydrotherapy session before we went to sing school with some friends from other classes. After lunch we made dinosaur jam tarts!

What a blast we have had this week! We have had such a fun filled week full of a range of  different activities.

On Monday our Year 6’s took a trip down to Newburn leisure center and rode on the bikes down there. They were great fun and we enjoyed zooming round the hall on a range of different bikes. We also really enjoyed the pub lunch afterwards at the Keilman’s. Once we had finished our pub lunch, we then ventured into the park and had a lovely play with everyone.

While our Year 6’s were out at Newburn, our Year 4 and 5’s took a trip down to Lidl to do some shopping for their food tech on Tuesday. They were all very sensible while at the shops and they made some lovely Brazilian Brigaderio’s for the Carnival.

On Tuesday, Out 6’s had an amazing session with the bubbleologist. It was completely memorizing and we really enjoyed having bubbles blown up around us. Following on from this we all joined back together for a beautiful carnival with the whole school. We were so excited for the carnival, as we have spent the half term preparing for it. We all looked incredible and we danced the day away with all our friends.

On Wednesday we all took a trip to the beach. Our Year 6’s went down to South Shields beach while the rest of us went down to Blyth beach for an ice-cream. While at South Shields, we were lucky enough to go on all the rides. They were so much fun, however they made us rather dizzy and we were certainly looking forwards to our Fish and chips afterwards.

On Thursday morning, we took a trip to Inflatanation in North Shields. This was extremely fun and we had so much fun climbing on different obstacles and zooming down all the different slides they had there. In the afternoon we all came back to school for a lovely movie afternoon with the rest of our class.

Today We have gone to Hall Hill farm in Durham; this was such a lovely day last year and we know it will be the exact same again today!

1 week left to go before we brake up, we cant wait! Enjoy your weekend and stay safe.

As we have been learning about the Rainforest in out topic work, we decided to take a trip down to Sunderland winter gardens. We had a look at many different plants and trees that grow in the rainforest and we learnt a lot about the different animals that live there. By the end of the day we could name the different layers of the rainforest and decide where the different animals live within them.

This week we have also continued our Samba dancing and we joined another class on Thursday for our weekly Samba catch up. We are loving getting to work with all our friends around the school again, as we enjoy being very sociable.

We have also been working very hard in our Maths this week! We have started to recognise the concept of half and we can now share amounts in half with our friends. We have also worked hard on our phonics and done a lot of reading and name writing to consolidate the skills we already have.

We hope you have a lovely weekend and stay safe!

This week we have been super busy and we have had so much fun!

On Monday we all celebrated the Queens Jubilee with all of our friends. we learnt the signs for the national anthem and danced about outside to our school band. We also had a lovely picnic and we are very grateful for all the snacks that were sent.

On Tuesday we managed to get down to Sir Charles Parsons for our swimming lessons. We haven’t been in a while, however our skills have not left us. We learnt some new skills and some of us were even able to do breast stroke independently!

On Wednesday our year 6’s went for their second transition visit to Sir Charles parsons. They were all so amazing and got involved with the different activities that they were set. They also really enjoyed their playtime outside seeing all their new friends.

On Thursday we all took a trip down to Beamish for the day. This was such a lovely day and we were so grateful that the weather stayed nice for it. We saw so many different Victorian houses, buildings and shops and we got to experience what school was like in those times. We also managed to get on the bus and tram to ride around the village, which was great fun. We were full of so many different questions and showed great enthusiasm throughout the whole day.

We hope you all have a lovely weekend and we cannot wait for our next trip on Tuesday !
