A trip to Washington Wetland Centre

29th March 2019Elaine Quinn

We started our week with a trip to the Washington Wetland Centre.  We had an amazing time and the sun shone!  We loved seeing the otters being fed and found out some fascinating facts about flamingos!  We all had a bag of food to feed the ducks and geese.

We really enjoyed playing in the park.  Everyone was great at climbing the slope and slipping down the slide.

It was a super day and we’d love to go back.

In our dance lesson with Christine, we learned about using our bodies to make open and closed shapes.  We thought about how we could use our bodies to show how a flower grows and how a caterpillar transforms into a beautiful butterfly.  It was fun to swish around the sports hall with the big scarves.

Many of the children visited Hadrian’s Hair Shop this week.  As you can see, everyone was pampered and looked after by the salon workers.  There were snazzy haircuts, and manicures and pedicures galore!   Look at all the bubbles in the foot spas!

On Monday, we are going on a trip to Richardson Dees park in Wallsend. The forecast looks a bit changeable so please make sure your child has a warm coat in case of chilly weather.

 

Horse Riding at the Pegasus Centre

29th March 2019Rachael Budden

We are so impressed at how confident and talented the children are at our Horse Riding sessions at the Pegasus Centre!  The weather was beautiful yesterday so the children were lucky enough to ride the horses outside in the sunshine.  Just look at how great they are doing!

What a busy week we have had!

This week we have been focusing on Numicon. We have been using Numicon to help support our understanding of the value of different coins.

On Tuesday we all took part in a Roman Battle! We had lots of fun using our swords and shields we made ourselves over the past couple of weeks. It was great to put them to use battling it out on our battle field!

Darren and Nathan had their hair cut on Thursday. They look very smart!

Due to staff shortages on Thursday the children went to different classes to visit their friends and make new friends. They had lots of fun!

Arts Award!

29th March 2019Nadia Motie

We started our Arts Award project this week by visiting The Baltic! We had a fantastic time, every child was engaged in their environment, taking in all of the different sights, sounds and textures. We loved going up and down in the lift and before we left we visited the viewing gallery and had a lovely view of The Quayside. We experienced lots of different art exhibitions and we also visited their sensory room which everybody loved! After lunch, because it was such a nice day, we stopped off at Heaton Park on the way home! A great day was had by all!

Newsletter 22nd March

29th March 2019Rachael Budden

Our World Book Day assembly was just brilliant-our performance of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt blew everyone’s socks off and 6B’s costumes were amazing! Year 6 also did brilliantly in our St. Patrick’s Day assembly this week with lots of singing and Irish jigs going on! A big well done goes to Kai (Saint Patrick) and Joe (Michael Flatley) who performed their socks off!

In Literacy, we have wrapped up our autobiographies and biographies unit and are now ready to begin a new story-Marc will be teaching the class lessons around Oliver Twist on Monday and we can’t wait! In Numeracy, we are working hard at telling the time and linking it to our day at school. In Humanities, we have engaged in the process of Mummification and are now designing and making our very own death masks. We can’t wait to see them finished!

The children are enjoying their horse riding sessions so much and we can’t believe how confident they are! We have 2 sessions left but wish we had more! They are also doing a brilliant job in our Dance City sessions on Monday mornings.

Everyone is enjoying our Life Skills visits to town. The children are becoming much more confident at paying their own bus fares and ordering their own snacks. We will be visiting Newcastle again after Easter.

Well done to Saffron and Amelia who have both achieved our Half Term Achiever’s certificates over the past 2 weeks. We are so proud of your achievements!

 

The Bare Toed Dance Company!

29th March 2019Nadia Motie

We were very lucky in school last week to have a visit from the lovely Bare Toed Dance Company! They were with us for three days and we had a fantastic time! We attended three workshops and two performances. We all had a go on the aerial swing, the trapeze and explored lots of bright and colourful materials. We also really enjoyed listening to the guitar and the drums! It was a fantastic experience and we are so pleased we got the chance to take part! Thank you Bare Toed Dance Company!

The Biggest Thank You to Sophia

28th March 2019Jess Burns

Hi everyone,

Thank you to Sophia and her wonderful parents for the lovely donation that allowed us to have a special trip to Adventure Land and McDonalds. The children chose these places and had a ball of a time. Some children were so quick I couldn’t get a still image! They were all so independent, free and determined to climb everywhere and anywhere. We ate our McDonalds so quick we didn’t have time for pictures.

Jess and the team

A Welcoming and Tasty Trip!

28th March 2019Antonia White

On Tuesday, March 26th, 5B visited the Toby Carvery at the Metro Centre as part of our ‘Where Does Food Come From?’ topic.

As soon as we walked through the door of the carvery, we could smell the food and it smelled delicious! It looked impressive too!

We were looked after by a waitress called Karli who gave all the children crayons, colouring sheets, gel pens and paper to keep them busy until their drinks were brought over. We even got a packet of cress seeds each which we can grow in school.

Karli and one of the chefs then gave the children a talk about how the different vegetables served at the carvery are grown, which animals the different meats come from and what we need for a balanced diet.

After the talk, it was time for a lovely roast lunch, which was provided free to the children. Amongst the choices to eat were: roast potatoes, peas, carrots, roast onions, buttery mash, cauliflower cheese and huge Yorkshire puddings! Suffice to say, everyone was very full when they had finished eating!

We cannot thank the staff at the Toby Carvery for their hospitality and generosity. We all felt very welcome and had a wonderful time.
