Year 2 build bridges | May 26, 2016 |
On Wednesday 11th May, Year 2 had a fabulous time with their parents building bridges. We were only allowed to use old newspapers and sticky tape. The bridge had to be strong enough to hold a weight. Mrs. Scott was the judge- it was very exciting. The winning team made a bridge so strong that Mrs. Clarke was able to sit on it without it breaking!

Year 6 learning | May 26, 2016 |
Year 6 have been busy. They have been making clay skulls as part of out topic Hola Mexico. They looked at the Day of the Dead skulls and decided to do some of their own.
They also had a mock parliament when learning about how to persuade. Some were in favour of moving SATs to July (the opposition), others wanted to leave them in May. (The Conservative party.)
Not forgetting the trip to Clip 'n' Climb- the end of SATs treat.

We visited Barnard castle as part of our current theme: 1066! We had been learning about Motte and Bailey castles and how they were used for attack and defence by the Norman's. We looked at where we would locate our own castle and explored the features at Barnard Castle.

Year 2 visit Barnard Castle | May 10, 2016 |
On Monday 25th April Year 2 visited Barnard Castle. It was very cold, but we learnt lots about how archaeologists work. We investigated different parts of the castle and 'guessed' what they might have been and how they may have been used.
We were worried about the two storey toilet!
