YEAR 6 ARMS (RED)

Mrs Humberston & Ms Wood

Welcome to 6H (ARMS Provision) Class Blog!

In 6H our class teacher is Mrs Humberston & our fantastic teaching assistant is Ms Wood.

The children in this class work very hard but also have a lot of fun.

They have the superb reputation of being one of the most polite and well behaved classes in the school.

The children come from all over Gateshead and some are lucky enough to get a taxi to school.

We all are very kind and respectful towards each other and have lots of fun learning together.

We would like to use this blog to share our homework, our ideas, our fascinating finds, upcoming events and photographs, and we`d really like to know what everyone thinks of them.

 

Keep Blogging!

Mrs Humberston, Ms Wood & 6H

We've been working hard to get our Crumble vehicles - our Crumble-mobiles! - to move in the directions we want them to.  This hasn't been easy - we've had wheels that needed to go in different directions because the motors were different ways up (!) and also had to...
