Party Time

18th December 2018Clare Downey

Yesterday we had a wonderful day at our Christmas party. In the morning we went into the School Hall with our friends from KS1 where we joined in with lots of party games such as Christmas corners, musical statues and musical bumps. We went back to class for a quick snack and then we went back into the Hall to sing Christmas songs with different props.

In the afternoon we sang beautiful songs around the smart board “fire” whilst we waited for a special visitor, Santa Claus himself. We sat around the Christmas tree and Santa gave us each a present. We then enjoyed some yummy food. What a busy day.

Somewhere only we know…

18th December 2018Loveday Fisk

On Friday, all of us at Hadrian showcased our fantastic Christmas performance.

Class 5/6 would like to say a huge well done to all of the children and all involved for the hard work that went into making the show so magical.

Our class joined forces with Johns class, and together we produced a video of the children having lots of fun in a ‘Winter Wonderland’ to the ever so popular song ‘Somewhere only we know’. The video really captures how fantastic our children are, and we are very proud of each and everyone of them. The performance on Friday went smoothly, and they all stayed calm and happy from start to finish. Even showing lovely smiles on stage!

Well Done Everyone!!

Christmas fun at Hall Hill Farm!

Hello!

As promised here our some of our photos from Hall Hill Farm! We had a fantastic time at their Christmas event, we were greeted by our lovely friendly Elf (Dee) who looked after us very well all day! First we visited the rabbits and all had a chance to hold/stroke them, then we went to feed some sheep and goats! After that we visited the talking Reindeer and Santa’s Grotto! Santa had a chat to each of us about what we wanted for Christmas and everyone got an early Christmas gift! In the afternoon we had our lunch, played in the huge softplay area then had a tractor ride around the farm! A great day was had by all! Thanks Hall Hill Farm!

 

 

Christmas Fun!

14th December 2018Loveday Fisk

We have had lots of fun on the run up to Christmas this week!

Our week has been full of festive cheer, with lots of singing and dancing. We had a trip to John’s Class on Tuesday morning, for a Christmas sing along and enjoyed it so much we invited our friends around for another session on Thursday.

Some of the group got to meet some animals this week. Billy, Kimberly and Fatima got the chance to say hello to a few farmyard animals, and fell in love with Marble the sheep! Unfortunately Marble’s time was in high demand this Christmas period, so not everyone got the chance to say hello. However the rest of the class didn’t mind, as they had lots of fun in the classroom during exploration and investigation. Peniel loved using the ripped up paper as snow balls!

The whole class got to enjoy our annual class pantomime this week. Cinderella! Lots of laughs and giggles were had. It really helped us get into the Christmas spirit!

We look forward to next week, to have more festive fun!

The response was amazing and the kids absolutely loved it as you can see by the pics! There are some many lovely pictures.

Thanks to everyone who sent in a voluntary contribution of £3. We have raised £95 so far, and this will go to school funds to buy new equipment and resources.

We are now going to run it once a term and the next date is Friday 8th February.  A letter will come out nearer the time.

 

A week of festive fun !

14th December 2018Elaine Quinn

Well, what a week of fun we have had !

On Monday, we went on our Xmas trip to Hall Hill Farm. We had a tour around the farm meeting and feeding all the animals, then a visit to the elves’ workshop for games.

We got to meet Santa in his grotto and he gave us a present for being just fabulous. We even got to go on a tractor ride around the farmland with our favourite Xmas songs playing.

We then had a treat with Cinderella pantomime in our school hall.  On no we didn’t! Oh yes we did!

Any other spare time we have spent rehearsing for the Xmas show which has been great fun ! Hope you all enjoyed it.  Didn’t the children look beautiful in their costumes?  We were really proud of their performance.

 

Christmas Fun!

On Monday we had a lovely trip to Hall Hill Farm. We met Santa in his cabin and he kindly gave us all a present. Rudolf was outside singing Christmas songs.

We then had fun going on a tractor/trailer ride around the farm. After out packed lunch we met a lot of animals. There were chicks and rabbits, goats and sheep, donkeys and highland cows and many more, but our favourites were the alpacas and the guinea pigs. The alpacas were very soft and the guinea pigs were very cuddly.

We enjoyed ourselves so much that some of us had a snooze on the bus on the way back to school!

Out and about at Christmas!

Hello!

We have had two lovely trips over the last couple of weeks to see the sights and sounds of Christmas around Newcastle! We had a lovely time at the Garden Centre exploring their brilliant winter wonderland display and looking at all their Christmas lights. On Friday we visited Fenwick’s window and saw their beautiful display of The Snowman! Watch this space for photos of our final Christmas trip to Hall Hill Farm to see Santa!

We have also explored a Nativity sensory story and enjoyed a visit from Chris Bostock who did a fantastic storytelling session!

We have been very busy making our Christmas cakes, Christmas cards and preparing our video for our Christmas performance!
