Nursery have had fun this week finding out all about crabs.  We brought a real crab (dead of course!) into the classroom for the children to investigate.  They had the opportunity to look at its features, find out what it felt like and smelt like!  They learnt that crabs have their skeleton on…

Year 4 made Panpipes out of straws to demonstrate changes in the pitch of sounds. We had to use our maths measuring skills and our DT skills. After lots of practice and gentle blowing we were able to perfect our technique and make some interesting soothing sounds.

The end of our Titanic topic…

What better way to spend a Thursday than messing about on the river!

Our trip started with a stroll down to Yarm High Street, where we took a sharp right and headed down to the river.

The weather was sunny and it put us all in a great mood and got us warmed up ready for the day…

We are very excited! Some of our caterpillars have now transformed into butterflies!  We have watched our caterpillars grow, build chrysalis’s and develop into beautiful butterflies over the last few weeks! We have seen this remarkable life cycle right in front of our eyes which has brought this…

Yesterday Y3AS went on our final trip of the year.

We started the day with a stroll into Yarm, walking down by the river.

We took the boat down to Preston Park. It was fun. We were looking for  unusual wildlife as we have been reliably informed that there are seals in the River Tees these…

Well done crafters.

Can you create your own game?

Year 4 enjoyed a very informative safety talk from the RNLI about how to stay safe when swimming in the sea over the summer. We listened very carefully, as it linked in with other work we had completed on safety around our rivers and canals. We also had the Titanic survivors in our thoughts and it…

Thank you to everyone who came along to our Festival on the Field today – the weather definitely helped the relaxed family feel.

The music was fabulous and there was lots to do around the field.

Thanks to Mr Newton for organising the entertainment and to Mrs Besterfield  for ensuring…

On Tuesday we went to Saltburn.

We got there on the bus, it was a wet and windy journey.

When we arrived in Saltburn we walked through the Italian Gardens, it was very wet but we really enjoyed looking at the different flowers and talking about the birds.  After that we enjoyed playing tag…

For your homework this week, we would like you to create a poster or an information leaflet on how to stay safe in open waters. You need to reflect on the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) assembly. You must consider; the use of flags and what they mean, rules around safety, what to do if…
