The children in Maples had the best time on World book day, they came in dressed as their favorite characters such as Horrid Henry, stickman and Elsa from frozen. We had a lovely time visiting our friends in Chestnuts who read with us and told us some brilliant jokes from the children’s joke books. We ended the day with a trip to Hawthorns and a short story from Mrs. Kincaid.
This week we have had a bit of a mystery in Acorns! We found some ‘magic’ beans and golden eggs around our classroom!
After some discussion and detective work, we decided that it must have something to do with the story we are reading in English, ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, but we still haven’t solved the mystery of where the items came from…… How very strange!
We shared our ideas and wrote some sentences about the story, and continued looking for clues to solve the mystery!
This week in Acorns we have made a start on our new topic ‘Ready Steady Grow’. We will be learning about food and farming, plants and animals, and will be planting some seeds and observing how they grow.
We started to change our role-play area into a farm shop, and will continue to work on this over the next few weeks. Our first job was researching what types of things you would find in a farm shop, and we made a colourful bunting sign!
We also set up a small world farm where we can make up our own stories.
In English we read ‘The Enormous Turnip’, explored new vocabulary and then drew and labelled some root vegetables.
Birches took part in a workshop with Kirsten from Newcastle University today. we looked at flags, where we see them and what they represent. We then designed our own flag with pictures of things that represent us. Kirsten was very impressed with our knowledge and enthusiasm.
This week in Maples the children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in DT. Our topic in DT is beach huts and we will soon be making our very own using wood. This week we looked at how we safely use tools such as the junior hacksaw to chop wood. The children have settled back in lovely since half term.
In Rowans we made pancakes this week on Shrove Tuesday. We followed instructions to add the ingredients then we whisked the ingredients together. Next we cooked the mixture in the pan and had lots of fun flipping the pancakes. Finally, we chose our topping and ate the pancakes, they were yummy!!
Maples children really enjoyed science this week, we tested different materials to find out whether they were absorbent or non-absorbent. The children quickly learnt which materials were which and were able to make their prediction before testing. Getting it right every single time!!
Today our EYFS children took part in a Superhero themed multi-skills event at Temple Park Centre in South Shields. They were accompanied and supported by our Year 5 School Sports Leaders, and everyone had a fantastic time.
It was great fun joining in with all of the activities, including stuck in the mud, obstacle courses, and parachute games. The older children instructed, guided and supported the younger children, ensuring that everyone had a brilliant time!
Well done Team Fellgate!
This week in Willows, we have been learning and talking about Internet Safety Week. We wrote down words relating to online safety and then worked as a class to create a poem about ‘Keeping Safe Online’. We performed our poem to everyone in our whole school assembly.
