Year One 2006 -2007
Well doesn't time fly? I can't believe we have come to the end of another school year. We've been so busy in Year One this term with our topic, Under the Sea. The children have made fish using all sorts of medium, paper, felt, collage materials, paint to name but a few. We had a fantastic trip to the Toy Museum at Tynemouth,where Maureen talked about old mechanical toys and showed us how they worked, then we explored the museum, which is full of fascinating toys.

From here we went to find shelter in a cafe on the beach, the children were allowed to picnic on the floor as it was quite wet outside. Nathan's uncle was in the cafe and treated all the children free ice-cream! This brightened up our day as well as the weather!

Bede's World 2007

KS1 had a fantastic day on Friday, May 11th. First we were all collected by coaches and taken to St Mary's Cathedral in Newcastle where we joined six other schools from the Deanery. The Bishop, Kevin Dunn, said mass and the children sang beautifully, conducted by Fr Michael Humble.
Then St. Mary's went on to visit Bede's World in Jarrow. Year One visited the church and dressed as monks from that time. We processed onto the altar and were told all about the things the monks had to do. They had a very hard life.

Murals in KS1
KS1 children are very lucky, not only do they have very elegant new coat hooks and shoe racks but they are also surrounded by a fantastic mural depicting bible stories


On the opposite wall they can have fun finding the rhyming words and phrases, a dog on a log or a wizard with a lizard, although this can take rather a long time to hang their coats up!

Dinosaurs in Year One
Year One have been learning about dinosaurs. We have had some interesting pronunciations of some of the dinosaur's names especially, compsognathus (comp sog nay thus). We measured all our class dinosaurs and ordered them from the shortest to the longest.
On October 18th we went on a really exciting adventure to The Centre for Life. We caught the number 98 bus into Newcastle and had fun exploring all day.

Mrs Wright Year One
The children in Year One have worked so hard this year. In September they began “grown up� writing and joined the letters together which is not as easy as it sounds.
During the 1st term we looked at dinosaurs, what they ate and where they lived. This was very exciting and sparked off many interesting stories and pictures.
Mrs Wright and Mrs Barrett went on a visit to our link school in Picardie in France and they sent us all Christmas cards and letters and we have tried to write a little French back to them.
Our Christmas performance took us around the world sharing all the songs that other children sing to celebrate Christmas. The children loved dressing up and working with Year 2 to produce and excellent show.
