OPAL

4th May 2023 By jillcooper

We love the sunshine! 🙂
Here are some children playing basketball with friends while others chill in the tyres and enjoy the sun. A great game jumping over the skipping rope was making the spinner dizzy! The Art & Craft area is full of busy as we get ready for our King’s Coronation celebrations!

Maths Treasure Hunt in Year 6

4th May 2023 By jillcooper

Year 6 have had a busy but fun start to this half term. We started the week with a maths treasure hunt working in teams to find the questions hidden around the yard. We then used our problem solving and reasoning skills to work out the answer. On Wednesday, we all enjoyed taking part in an archery session as part of our PE. Mrs Cummins has found a new hobby! Finally, at the end of the week we visited Bishop Auckland Town Hall for the Stefan Gates Gastronaut Extreme show.

Dragonball in Year 3

4th May 2023 By jillcooper

This week, children were lucky to have a visitor from Go Well come into school and deliver Dragonball sessions. Y3 thoroughly enjoyed working in small teams with Bruno the Dragon-they began with two fun games to warm up and then had to think of their own rules to play an invasion game. The children worked well as a team and showed great listening skills throughout-well done 🙂

Year 4

4th May 2023 By jillcooper

Year 4 have been continuing to explore our RE topic, using Laptops to research and explore Charity work which Christians undertake such as WaterAid and Christian Aid. As well as this, they have been creating some writing using the technique of explanation. They were also very excited to take part in Archery on Wednesday afternoon, this was such good fun, and they learnt some useful techniques about how to position their legs and arms in order to hit the target. After each having a turn, they had a competition in a ‘Standoff Archery Dual’. This was awesome!

Instruction Writing with an Easter theme

31st March 2023 By jillcooper

To celebrate Easter, we have made some delicious Easter-themed crispy cakes! We sequenced some instructions before identifying the imperative verbs. We then wrote a list of ingredients and equipment we needed. Children followed the instructions well to make the cakes and were able to then tell other staff how they made the cakes remembering the instructions used to help. They were very tasty. Thank you Miss Bonas for such a lovely activity.

Hockey in Year 5

30th March 2023 By jillcooper

This week Year 5 have started to learn hockey skills during our PE lessons. The first session we were learning how to control and pass the ball and play a shot with accuracy. We practised dribbling different types of ball so we could ascertain which ball was best for this sport. Thank you to Mrs Sheppard for obtaining a class set of hockey sticks for us to use. The children really enjoyed their first lesson.

” Hockey was fun! We realised it is hard to control the ball if you go too fast or if you don’t bend your knees. Also, it is a foul if you don’t hit it with the flat side of the stick.” (Seb and Oscar)

Maths challenges in Year 6

30th March 2023 By jillcooper

This week in maths we have been learning how to plot coordinates on a grid and begin translating shapes across all 4 quadrants. We managed this well and then began to apply our knowledge by trying out a couple of previous SATs questions! We are keeping our focus and working incredibly hard! Mrs Bennett and Miss Trow are very proud of us.
