Year 1 Choosing Time
Year 1 have been exploring the blocks during choosing time and made some amazing structures. We have worked as part of a team making bridges, zoos and castles. Take a look at our pictures.
Friday 6th December Santa Dash…
Today Santa came to visit Southwick Community Primary School. We had an amazing time chasing Santa today-lots of smiles and laughter, but of course we couldn’t catch him as he’s magic!
Year 2 R.E
We have been learning about the story of Rama and Sita and how they used light to guide themselves back to their village after a heroic battle. We watched a short video explaining the story and then put it into our own words, using actions to tell the story. We worked in small groups and each person took on the role of a different
Year 4 care for our local area
In our English lessons we have been outside litter picking, because we have been heartbroken about the litter on the boulevard. We decided we wanted to try to persuade Sunderland City Council to provide our School boulevard with an extra bin to help the animals and humans in our local area. We have written persuasive letters and have posted them to the Council, we
Y3 Christmas Geography
Y3 have been set a variety of missions to help Santa and save Christmas for Southwick and the rest of the world. Santa has lost all of his map so the Y3 children helped him to locate the countries and capital cities of the UK. They have also researched which European countries celebrate Christmas and have located these on a map for him too!
We are looking forward to our next mission.
Year 3 Magnetic games 2.12.24
Year 3 have been learning all about forces and magnets in their science lessons. To bring their learning together, they worked together to design magnetic games.
Year 3 – Outdoor learning
Year 3 braved the icy weather and took their learning outside this week. In history, we have been learning about The Stone Age and how they used art to communicate as they didn’t have an alphabet to write about what they had done. The children analysed a variety of cave art pieces and then created their own on the walls of the school. Take a look at their masterpieces!
Children in Need
Class 4 came to school dressed in non school uniform and donated 50p to fundraise for Children in Need. We thought about all the different ways in which our money could help those children in need and made Pudsey biscuits!
Year 4 electrical switches in science…
This week. we used our prior knowledge of circuits to introduce using a switch-we didn’t tell the children how to use them, they investigated, problem solved and worked it out themselves-they were amazing! The children then decided to make a human circuit and test whether they could light a bulb-they soon realised our bodies don’t have the same effect as a battery!
Year 5 Esports visit…
Year 5 went to the Esports Performance Centre at The Place, Sunderland. We learnt all about the Esports Industry and the careers we could have, and even took part in an Esports tournament. We had an amazing time and would love to back there again.
