​Leonora’s time to shine - During the half-term holidays, Leonora visited the Hay Festival in Wales, where she met award-winning author MG Leonard and very kindly got our class copy of Beetle Boy signed by her. Leonora brought other books into school written by Leonard, including Hunt for the Golden Scarab and The Impossible Gladiator, and we all agreed we would love to read them ourselves after she provided us with a fantastic overview of each text.

Hello everyone,

Matthew’s time to shine - It would appear that we have a footballing star in our midst… Matthew! Today, Matthew showed us photographs of his collection of medals and trophies that he has won playing football before telling us more about his huge success at the Filey Cup. There, he scored an impressive nine goals, helping to lead his team, New Durham FC, to tournament victory. We enjoyed watching a video showcasing some of the fantastic goals he scored, along with a photo reel capturing the memorable experiences he shared with his teammates at Filey. Matthew spoke with confidence and passion as he answered questions from the class. We know your dream is to play for Newcastle United one day, Matthew, and we have no doubt that it will come true if you continue to show such dedication and commitment.

Hello everyone, 

I hope you’ve all had a lovely bank holiday.

Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed their session with Adam Bushnell this week. We took part in a variety of activities that expanded on our current English topic about mythical creatures. We explored artefacts, dressed up Jet the Tortoise, watched videos and uplevelled our own mythical creatures with different body parts and unusual special powers. After this, we created some fantastic descriptions about them and shared them with each other. All of this work will help us massively in our English sessions.

Year 6 We were delighted to have Adam Bushnell visit us this week to help with our writing. Adam helped the children write a description of The Boathook Man from our English text the Malamander. The children acted out a scene as though they were Boathook Man and used this to help with their written work. The class also got to meet Jet the tortoise which helped them described the character's slow thoughtful movements!
