The jobs of our community
Jobs are not just paid but jobs in our community involve looking after nature. This week we role played different jobs as well as taking care of the worms we found in our garden.
Ancient Greek philosophical debate
In Year 5 History we have been learning about the Ancient Greeks. One of our lessons was to look at ‘What were the ancient Greek philosophers famous for?’ We made sure we understood the vocabulary of philosopher, philosophy and debate before we had our own class...
Labelling objects
We have begun to group objects and label them using everyday objects around the room. We found different objects that could match the labels that we created.
Year 3 Coast Study field trip
The children really enjoyed their visit to Cullercoats. They were real live geographers navigating their way around the coastal town. From testing tides to surveying passers-by they showed they had the grit that geographers need. Well done kids!

Super Skylines
We have really enjoyed creating our skylines in Art. We created our backgrounds by blending paint. We then designed our own buildings and cut out templates which we then used to print our buildings. Here is some of our amazing work!

Year 6 have started a new unit all about the Maya. They are looking forward to combining their Geography and History skills to find out as much as they can about them. We Started by using our atlas skills to find out about where they had settled. We made predictions...
