Supertato to the Rescue

2nd October 2025A Aldcroft

For the past two weeks our focus story has been Supertato!
We have retold key features of the story as well acted it out for our class assembly. We then designed and labelled our own super vegetable. We used our designs to create the super vegetable!

Zones of Regulation

16th September 2025Chloe Smith

This week Class 1 have been exploring our zones of regulation

We discussed the different zones (green, blue, yellow and red) and how we might feel when we’re in those zones. We shared ideas on different ways to regulate our emotions, to help get us back into the green zone.

Teaching self regulation to children is so important, so we introduced our ‘Zones of Regulation’ in the classroom, where each child can use their picture to show which zone they are in throughout the day, to help children recognise their feelings and respond in an appropriate way

Gibside

Class 4 had a fantastic day on our trip to Gibside!
We spent the morning looking for minibeasts! We used a classification sheet to help us identify what we found️

We then spent the afternoon creating art using nature! We created our own artist palette using natural items before using mud as paint to create our own natural paintings️

Hardwick Park

A fantastic day at Hardwick Park

We spent the morning being pirates and using natural resources to create a pirate ship, followed by cleaning the ocean and then a treasure hunt!

In the afternoon we read a lovely story all about very naughty pirates who didn’t know how to look after our world! We learnt all about how to keep our planet safe and clean from litter!
