YEAR 6 ARMS (RED)
Mrs Humberston & Ms WoodWelcome 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!

Let’s Go Shopping

Internet Safety Day
We joined the assembly completing challenges on how to stay safe and then went outside and played a game thinking about our reactions and emotions in different scenarios.
Clay techniques
We used play dough to practice different techniques we could use to model the clay with such as twisting, imprinting, rolling and shaping.
