Year 3 enjoyed making rockets and testing them as part of maths, science and technology week.
As part of maths, science and technology week Year 5 enjoyed a visit from the Life Centre and explored making and launching rockets!
Year 3’s Design and Technology Project this term was to make pizza, linked to our Italy topic. We used our research from Roma Restaurant to design and make a tasty Italian pizza from scratch. The children used lots of skills such as measuring, mixing, kneading and rolling. The smell in our classroom was amazing and we enjoyed eating and evaluating our pizzas later in the day.
In Year 3, the children are currently studying Italy as part of their Geography topic. We have been learning about different aspects of the Italian culture and food plays an important part. As children will be making their own pizzas for their technology project, we decided to take a trip to an Italian restaurant to allow children to taste a range of traditional Italian dishes. The teachers were very impressed with everyone’s willingness to try new foods. We had a lovely time!
Year 5 children visited The Great North Museum and the Hatton Gallery. We enjoyed looking at lots of different objects and art work in these museums and wrote some fantastic poetry abut some of the art work we saw.
In Golden Time in 5LR this week we made healthy desserts. We used different flavoured low fat yoghurts, grapes, strawberries, pineapple, apple and banana with some rice cereal and rich tea biscuits to add crunch! We all loved making them and then we enjoyed our healthy desserts whilst reading.
Year 4 had a lovely visit to The Great North Museum and The Hatton Art Gallery.
We spent our time sketching some of the exhibits in the museum.
We had a guided tour of the Art Gallery and took part in a drawing workshop.
Imagine living in a world where you cannot communicate with the people around you, from your doctor to someone in a shop. That’s what the world is like for many deaf people. Deaf people can often feel isolated, unable to access information and advice that can help them live happy and healthy lives.  Something hearing people take for granted.
On Tuesday 6th February, with the help of Mrs Walls, we took part in sign2sing. sign2sing is an annual event, organised by the Deaf Health Charity SignHealth, which raises essential funds to help vulnerable deaf children and adults by helping them access help and advice on the things that matter to them in their own language – Sign Language.
We learned the song ‘Friends Forever’ with the simple signs and performed it as a school in our assembly where parents and carers came to join us.
We collected £105.75 for this worthy charity. Thank you for all your continued support.
As part of Creative Week, Year 3 children had the opportunity to visit the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle to take part in a Thomas Bewick inspired Printing Workshop. The children had great fun creating their impressive prints and enjoyed their activity trail around the gallery.
Year 4 attended a Multi Skills Festival at Temple Park Leisure Centre. The children took part in lots of mini games including skittles, long jump, dribbling, throwing and hoopla. Great fun was held by all and the children were impeccably behaved.
