Y3 – Clay techniques
In Year 3, we are learning how to mould clay because we are going to be making our very own clay pots. Today, we practised making pinch pots and coil pots. We had lots of fun but it was very messy!
Year 4 weaving part 3!

Class 14 at the Beacon of Light
Class 14 had a great time at the Beacon of Light learning about visually impaired football and other disability sports. We put on blind folds and our partners had to lead us around the court.

Year 3 – Islam presentations
This half term, Year 3 have been learning all about Islam in their RE lessons. They have absolutely loved finding out about the religion and comparing it to other religions we have studied. To consolidate all of their learning, the children have been working cross curricular and have created their very own PowerPoint presentations. They are very excited to complete them and present to the rest of the class.
Year 3 – Safer Internet Day
Year 3 have really enjoyed learning about how to stay safe online. This year, the theme was ‘Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online’.
We learned all about what an online scam is and how to spot them. The children feel much more confident in their ability to spot an online scam and also know what to do if thy see one.
To demonstrate their understanding of scams, they created their very own scam and phishing messages. Some of them included ‘too good to be true’ offers, spelling errors, requests for money and applied pressure to the recipient.
Year 5 Number Day!
Year 5 took part in a range of activities including times tables and fractions-we had a great time dressed as rock stars!

Throughout the day, we have taken part in a variety of number activities and the children have been applying their knowledge and skills in a variety of ways.
Year 4 Number Day!
We did lots of exciting activities today for Number Day, including: colour by number with different times tables and division facts, multiplication mosaics, addition and subtraction emoji code breakers and we designed our own maths day t shirts too-we had a great time!
Year 3 and 4 Cricket Skills…
Some of our year 3 and 4 children get to work with Durham CC and are learning some cricket skills such as bowling and fielding-we have great fun in the sessions and our confidence and resilience are improving rapidly too!
