This week, in Maths & ICT, we learnt all about algorithms!

We know that an algorithm is a set of instructions we can give to a robot to make it do something we want it to do.

We’ve been using an online Bee-Bot (also available to use at home if you search online Bee-Bot on Google!) and giving it an algorithm to move it to specific places.

We used the buttons forwards and backwards along with rotate right and rotate left so that the Bee-Bot faces the right direction! ☺️

Class 6 were very confused when their football session got cut short on Wednesday afternoon… They were then lead to the Monkton Infants car park and discovered an ice-cream van waiting there – just for them!

We thought they deserved an extra treat for all of their hard work completing the English and Maths SATS over the past couple weeks. They worked their little socks off and we are incredibly proud of each and every one of them! Well done, Year 2!

This week, Class 6 have been completing their SATS and they have worked so hard! They’ve shown so much resilience and had such a positive mindset towards them – it’s really made me proud.

In PSHE, we created recipes for a ‘happy home’. We discussed what was important for families to be happy and get along, such as…
– communication
– laughing
– sharing
– forgiveness
– love

Everyone in the class created their very own own recipe!

We have been thoroughly enjoying learning about King Charles III and his coronation. We even received a letter from King Charles III himself so of course we had to reply! Class 6 wrote some brilliant letters explaining what they would do if they were king or queen and what their rules would be. We have also wrote excellent fact files all about what a coronation is and what happens during one! Take a look at some of our lovely work below.

On Wednesday, Tracey Horner, a special author from Hebburn, came to visit us to read her book ‘The Little Falcon’ all about inclusion! 🥰

We know that inclusion means everyone being able to take part – and we now know that sometimes adjustments are needed to make this happen! Tracey told us all about her brave son called Toby who has cerebral palsy and who has slightly different adjustments in his life to make him able to join in with things children love to do – playing football, going to the park, going to the beach and playing video games. ❤️

Class 6 are really excited about having a football coach coming into school every Wednesday afternoon! Lots of children in class show a passion for playing football over lunch times so we thought a football coach would be a brilliant idea so they can learn specific skills.

In History, we love learning about heroes from our local area. This week, we started learning about Kirkpatrick! We know that Kirkpatrick was from Tyne Dock, South Shields – this is just up the road from us! We were amazed to find out that he saved the lives of 300 men in the war by transporting men on his donkey to the first aid station. Here is some work we completed – we feel so grateful that a hero came from our local town.

We have been designing some incredible hard boiled eggs in Art for our competition! On Wednesday of this week, we got to use lots of different resources to make the designs in our book come to life. Look at some of the designs below!

We had an amazing, special visitor from ‘Science Buddies’ do some brilliant experiments with Class 6 this week! We had so much fun using pipettes and syringes to fill our beakers up with the correct amount of liquid. We showed excellent team work with our partners and listened so closely to our grown-up. Look at some of our exciting morning below!
