Tetrahedrons

4th March 2020 By andrewgraham

Year 2 have been making tetrahedrons using dowls and elastic bands. This activity involved so much learning. For instance the children discussed the properties of 3D shapes, they had to utilise their dexterity and resilience to join the dowls with elastic bands and they had to communicate and cooperate with their partner to finish the task. They did a fantastic job and moved on to joining the tetrahedrons together. We then discussed the value of this shape in an engineering sense and looked at examples of structures that utilised tetrahedrons.

Schools Big Birdwatch

4th February 2020 By andrewgraham

All the children took part on the RSPB’s schools big bird watch. The children really enjoyed spotting and then identifying the various species of bird. It was certainly a beautiful day to be outside. The children were excellent at spotting the birds. We will send our results to the RSPB to help them with their monitoring of bird populations. Well done everyone!

Year 2 visit Durham Cathedral

23rd October 2019 By andrewgraham

The year 2 children enjoyed the trip to Durham Cathedral and learned about Saint Cuthbert through acting out the story which started with a sheep and ended with a cow! The children loved getting dressed up in costumes and were quiet and reflective around Cuthbert’s Tomb. They lit a candle and said a prayer and our guides showed the children some of the very impressive stained glass windows in the Cathedral.

Newton Cap Viaduct

19th September 2019 By andrewgraham

Our topic in history is Learning about Bishop Auckland in the past and how things have changed. The children have been looking at how Newton Viaduct and how the use of this structure has changed over the years, trains used to cross it and now cars. The children have looked carefully at the design and made their own versions in stem work using lego, card, blocks and polydron. The children’s challenge is then to make sure their viaduct will withstand a small amount of weight. Here we go!
