We went on a journey around our school and took photos of physically active children in Key Stage 2. They were having lots of fun.

Keeping safe online is an important topic for everyone to learn about. Our year three classes had a lot of great discussions about why it is important to think before you act in real life and when using the internet. We saw how easy and quick it is to make a fake profile.

The children are thoroughly enjoying their skills academy club where they are in the process of learning a new dance.

Year 3 have been using maps to locate different countries, counties amd cities as well as analysing the different climate zones.

We spent the last hour of our Friday afternoon enjoying games of table tennis and basketball. A competitive rowing tournament commenced which we will continue over the next few weeks. It was great to see the older children encouraging the younger members of our club.

As part of our Design Technology lessons, the children made tacos and then enjoyed tasting them. As you can see, they had a lot of fun.

This week year 3 have been using the dienes to exchange and regroup when using the column method for addition and subtraction calculations. We have also learned some new vocabulary to use when subtracting.

We had a brilliant day at Ryton Pools learning new facts and expanding on our knowledge of The Stone Age. We looked at artefacts, built dens, toasted ‘mushrooms’ and learnt about the history of the local environment.

Mrs Pedley and her group have been busy creating a whole host of interesting Halloween based items.

Our year 6 sports leaders having been supporting on the Key Stage 1 playground and helping Mr Hancock and Mr Burgess with their lunchtime clubs.
