Time Capsule by Year 2

10th July 2019 By andrewgraham

Our Year 2 children have been involved in an exciting project with Auckland Castle. We buried a time capsule in the West Mural Tower, Auckland Castle.  As well as news items from today, it contained our own hand-written limericks.  We had a great time!

Visit to Beamish

25th June 2019 By andrewgraham

We had a fabulous day at Beamish. We visited the new 1950s Welfare Hall where we got to play with toys from the 1950s, We dressed and danced in the 1950s style and we explored artefacts. We had a little bit of time to look around the town and had our dinner in the park which was great! The children loved riding around on the trams and we even met Mr Tumble! The children were so excited to see him and he even came over and sang a song with them! It made our day and Mrs Graham loved it too….and it was her special birthday!

Outdoor Classroom Day

24th June 2019 By andrewgraham

Our children experienced a carousel of activities on Outdoor Classroom Day. They planted plants in pots, found minbeasts, sat around the fire pit and toasted marshmallows which was a big hit with the children and staff! There were craft activities, the parachute, PE activities and the soft play equipment. The children loved the day and worked together well solving problems and discovering new possibilities.

Traditional Food from Zimbabwe

4th April 2019 By andrewgraham

As part of the Year 2 work on Zimbabwe, the children have been cooking a traditional beef stew called Nyama. They really enjoyed working with the fresh ingredients and the vast majority of children tried the food once it was cooked. We then had a discussion about eating healthily and the amount of fruit and vegetables we should eat to stay fit and healthy. The children did a fantastic job.

Year 2 Family Assembly

19th March 2019 By andrewgraham

The Year 2 children and staff worked hard to produce a family assembly on Friday which was a fun and entertaining display of jokes, readings and an interactive quiz for parents.

We had invited the Chairman of Durham County Council John Lethbridge in to see our amazing assembly and he thought our Year 2 superstars were wonderful.

Lego Maze

11th March 2019 By andrewgraham

Today the children have been making lego mazes during their STEM session. The children used the templates to make the lego mazes in teams. Once complete they had to write code for the lego character to get out of the maze. This was more difficult than it sounds with children having to think from the perspective of the actual character. They also had to remember their left from their right. They all did a fantastic job solving problems and working in a team.

Art Gallery

6th March 2019 By andrewgraham

We have been looking at famous artists and have been painting in their style. The art of Jackson Pollock was flicky and fun compared to the straight lines and limited colours of Mondrian. The children loved looking at Van Gogh’s paintings and many others. We asked, “What would you think about if you were sitting having your portrait painted?” The children were careful in their observations and have made a fabulous art gallery in class 6. Art is the best!
