Tremendous Transition!
Wednesday and Thursday were our transition days.
In September, our topic will be ‘Wriggle and Crawl’, therefore, we did lots of learning about minibeasts, and created some beautiful work. We used watercolours to paint insects, made ladybird biscuits, discovered some differences between honey…
Virtual Reality
We had a lot of fun this afternoon with the virtual reality goggles! We were transported deep into the rainforest, surrounded by elevated trees, beautiful flowers, and cheeky monkeys!
Fire Safety
Today, we were visited by some fire officers from Northallerton. They told us what to do incase of a fire, and taught us how to stay safe. We even sat in their fire engine!
Epic Earth!
As the theme for S.A.W. week was ‘Epic Earth’, we decided to find out all about volcanoes.
We watched a really exciting video and then worked collaboratively to make volcanoes using plastic bottles, newspaper and glue. After leaving them overnight to dry, we painted them to look like active…
Organ Workshop
On Thursday, we visited Christ Church for an organ workshop. Professor Baker and Mr Lee showed us different organ pipes, taught us a new song, and helped us build our own organ!

In the Victorian cottage,…
The Dark

We have written poems, retold the story from the Dark’s view point, written advice for Laszlo, made non-chronological reports about nocturnal animals, written book reviews, made glow jars, and…

In Literacy, we have worked collaboratively to make story maps to sequence the main events of our text, ‘The Dark’. We then used these to help us retell the story from the Dark’s point of view.
On Thursday, we dressed up and had great fun for World Book Day, and created reviews of our favourite…
Little Sprouts!
Because our topic is ‘Super Human’, and we wanted to find out how to stay fit and healthy, we invited some very special visitors to join us this morning. Little Sprouts came to teach us all about foods that help us grow, glow, and go.
We had an amazing time preparing and chopping vegetables…

The theme for our S.A.W. week this time was ‘Space – is there anything out there?’
We created solar system works of art with balloons, paint, and oil pastels. These looked brilliant!
After reading ‘The Boy who switched off the Sun’, we wrote newspaper articles about how Marcel turned off the…
