We went to check out Antony Gormley’s sculpture (Angel of the North) in Gateshead.
Did you know…
One person sees it every second!
The wing span is wider than a Boeing 757 jet!
It is as tall as 4 double decker busses!
Below are some photos our wonderful students took.
In Science 11M have learned how to wire a plug and about the different types of wires, live, neutral and earth. Some pupils worked in groups and some worked independently to do this. We learned an electrical wire rhyme to help us – “The live brown bear, sat under the neutral blue sky, on the green Earth.”
This week Maple have been looking at farm animals.
We decided to go on a exciting trip to Hall Hill Farm. We got up to so many fun activities which we can’t wait to share with you.
We took our school bus to the farm, and when we arrived we got to go on a tractor and have a tractor ride to look at some of the animals.
Once the tractor ride has finished. We were shown all of the different animals up close. We got taught lots of interesting facts about these animals and their names! We even got to feed some!
Some of the animals tongues were very wet and sticky! We had to wash and sanitise our hands lots.
Once we finished feeding the animals we had our dinner and got to play in the soft play.
After the soft play we got to see the gorgeous lambs and feed them.
She was sooo hungry!!
We then held the guinea pigs and rabbits. They were so lovely and soft.
After this we saw baby pigs, lambs and goats.
We had the best time at Hall Hill farm and we were told we were a pleasant bunch to take around the farm. Well done Maple Class.
Hazel class had an amazing day at Tynemouth Aquarium.
We loved learning about all the different animals that live in the sea.
We got to touch some starfish and learnt that they have 5 eyes, 5 arms and about 500 legs!!
Another great fact we learnt was that a starfish is actually called a sea star.
Pupils in Hazel class loved the yucky fact, which was that starfishes stomachs actually come out of their bodies when they eat and then go back inside!
We also loved the seals, especially when they were doing tricks and waved at us.
Well done Hazel class on a fantastic trip, staff are super proud!
To help celebrate International Women’s Day on 8th March 2022, Class 9R have been finding out about women’s history, remembering women’s struggles and focusing on women’s resistance.
We have studied the life of Emmeline Pankhurst, the amazing English political activist who was responsible in organizing the suffragette movement and helping women win the right to vote.
We have had several in depth class discussions about the remarkable women in our own lives and what they do for us on a daily basis. We have talked about the importance of saying “thank you” to these women to show how grateful we are to them and how much we appreciate them.
A massive well to our football team who took part in Kick Off @3 today at Maiden Castle. You did your school proud with your behaviour, sportsmanship and attitude. We are so unbelievably happy with all of you superstars!! And a special shoutout to Courtney who was handpicked by the founder of Kick Off as a superstar player!
Mr Harrison organised a red nose/egg and spoon race for the whole school on our Comic Relief Day, racing through obstacles in mixed teams. The winning team celebrated the next week with a winners breakfast courtesy of Mr Davis.
Today for our Topic lesson we had a go at playing games that encouraged turn-taking. We had games such as connect 4, pop and hop, Jigsaw and Dominos. It was fantastic to see all of the children enjoy taking part in their turn taking and encouraging each other.
