Two Classes went on a special visit to Aln Valley Railway. We looked at the steam engines and had a ride on their Pacer train. We looked at a viaduct built by Robert Stephenson and also sat on a Harry Potter style coach. Aln Valley have also been helping us with our Pacer train and helped by taking out the seats.
Thank you to Lesley Park for taking out the toilet on the train. This space will be converted into storage.
In outdoor learning we have been learning about Bees and making some Bee art. The children decided this will help raise awareness of the importance of Bees. We even used hammers and nails to create our own flower bed looking at measurements and working as a team.
We had a very exciting month last April . It was our official opening for the Train station.
The children took part in the ceremony to sing a personalised song written by Sam from citizen song writers.
The station was donated and constructed by a local company called Texo. It was officially opened by the dep mayor and Alan Conway from Texo. Thanks to all the guests who joined us to celebrate, including representatives from Morgan Sindall, Henkel and Northern rail and the Port of Blyth.

B8 have experienced life as an artist and illustrator in their own studio, they have enjoyed standing at the easel, drawing and painting with a variety of mediums.
They have looked at the work of Quentin Blake and today they tried to draw like Quentin under a table, using a pencil attached to a paintbrush. This week the children have also written their own stories, recorded their voices using a storyboard and illustrated with pictures.
This week B6 have continued finding out about the history of the UK and it’s castles by delving into some of the myths and legends around knights and dragons from across the country. The children have followed step-by-step instructions to build their own dragon, and used the iPads to find out where different dragon legends have started in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. They’ve also spent some time hearing the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, as well as hearing stories of some famous battles and sieges that really took place. The children have used their knowledge of mediaeval knights to design and build their own swords and shields, as well as design their own army of knights – using their number and addition skills to add up the cost of all of the knights’ equipment.
B6 have practiced their reading, spelling and writing skills in phonics, and some have continued writing their own storybooks. In addition the children have practiced their social skills in Lego therapy sessions, and demonstrated their independence skills by cooking big breakfast for the class – sharing out the cooking, cleaning, table-setting and serving tasks between themselves.
Building a dragon.
