Year 2 Local History

Year 2 have thoroughly enjoyed their History unit on the Great Fires. After learning about the fire in London, we invited Richard to come and talk to us yesterday all about life on the Quayside in Victorian times and all about the Great Fires of Gateshead and Newcastle. Then today we took a metro into town and explored the site of the fire and how the Quayside has changed over time. We even saw the remains of the wall from the houses that were there in 1854!

Year 2's letters to the NHS

In December, our Year 2 pupils wrote letters to local nurses as part of their English and History unit on Florence Nightingale. They were excited to post them and today we received an email from Northumberland NHS Trust to thank the children for the happiness that the letters brought to all the nurses who read them!

KS1 Nativity

Our Y1 and Y2 children gave an outstanding performance of the Nativity ‘Hey Ewe’ for their families and our parish community this evening. Each and every one of them were AMAZING and we are so proud of them all. We thank them for giving us the opportunity to be still and be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas.

KS1 Advent Morning

This morning the children in Key Stage 1 enjoyed an Advent morning. We created some crafts that helped us to remember the season of Advent. One of these is the Bambinelli. In Italy on the third Sunday of Advent, children take a wooden baby Jesus to Mass to have it blessed. They then wrap it up and place it under their tree. On Christmas morning they unwrap the baby Jesus first to help them remember the true meaning of Christmas. The children are bringing home their Bambinelli

KS1 History Club

In History Club this week, the children looked at what life was like living inside a castle. We learnt about what type of people would have lived in a castle, what their jobs were and what they would have ate. We even made our own medieval food plates and imagined what it would be like eating food like this everyday.
