As part of Science Week, the children in Year 1 have been taste-testing different food and using their Literacy skills to accurately describe what they had eaten. Yum!
Year 1 Cycling
This half term children from Year 1 have taken part in cycling coaching on a Friday morning with Mr Raine and Mr Graham. In these sessions the children have learned how to ride stabilizer free, and in the last 4 weeks have become much more confident cyclists. The children have worked hard and shown great persistence and resilience when developing their skills. Well done to all of the children who have taken part!
Locomotion – Year 1 Trip
The children in class 3 and 4 have been on a lovely trip this week to the Locomotion Museum in Shildon, we walked down to Bishop Auckland train station and travelled to Shildon by train. They were all very excited to go through the tunnel. We have a lovely time at the museum learning about different trains and some of us even were able to see the Royal carriage. We had our lunch outside as the weather was very kind to us, and then were able to burn off some energy in the play area. The behaviour of the children was fantastic all day, and many other visitors to the museum commented on this.
Teamwork
16/03/18
The children in Year 1 and Year 2 having been practising their teamwork today. First each group had a discussion about how we can work well in a team. Then the children spoke about what we need to do in school to learn and how to overcome challenges. Finally they got the chance to put this into practice in their challenge. The children had to work in a group of 4 to move the cups from a line of 6 into a pyramid formation without using their hands. Instead they had to use an elastic band with some string attached. The task required communication, perseverance and problem solving. As usual the children did a fantastic job.
Terrific Tales with Performing Arts students
We have had some Performing Arts students from Bishop Auckland College in school for the last 3 days doing some interesting activities working with children from all year groups including the Nursery.
The Gingerbread Man
The children in Class 4 have been learning the story of the Gingerbread Man. We designed and decorated a ginger biscuit. They were delicious!
STEM – Making Houses like the Three Little Pigs
In year 1 we have been learning about some traditional tales, including the story of the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf. We were challenged to build a house that would be able to withstand the huffing and puffing of the wolf. As Mrs Graham was not thrilled about us bringing a real wolf into school we decided to use a fan instead. The children worked in teams to construct their buildings using a variety of materials, and then tested them. Designs were changed and improved if needed, and we talked about which materials made the best houses and why.
Building a small scale den
The children in Year 1 have been building a small scale den using materials from the classroom.
Hamsterley Forest – Year 1
The children in Year 1 had a lovely day in Hamsterley Forest. We enjoyed exploring the forest and searching for the Gruffalo!
Positional and Directional Language
