Summer 2025
After School Club - Computing / Film
Computing/film club has been very popular this term. During the first two weeks, children learnt how to create stop motion films. In small groups, they planned out an exciting plot and used lego to make their creations come to life. They then used the app 'Stop motion Studio' to create the films. The second two weeks of the club have been focused on using iMovie to create movie trailers. The children have learnt how to add photos/videos and edit text to create an exciting movie trailer. Well done all!
Design Technology
In design and technology, Ford class have been planning and making biscuits. As a class we discussed and researched 'crumbl cookies' in America and decided we would create our own. We taste tested different biscuits, thinking about taste, texture and aesthetics. After this, we carefully planned what our biscuits would be like and created an ingredient list. Following this, the children made their biscuits with Mrs Sayer. The children had to chop their toppings and mix their icing and food colours. Biscuits were sent home for a taste test and will be evaluated on Friday.
The Great North Museum - Monday 19th May
Ford and Etal class had a fabulous time at the Hancock Museum on Monday 19th May. Once we had arrived, the children collected an ipad within their small groups. Each class separated and used their iPad to join a portal and complete set missions linked to different rooms within the museum. After each activity, we had an opportunity to share what we had learnt/seen in that room before moving onto the next mission. We explored history topics such as Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, Hadrian's Wall and the Ice Age. Once all the missions were complete, we had some time to explore the museum and visit different parts. All in all we had an amazing day, full of history learning/consolidation.
VE Day - Thursday 8th May
Ford class enjoyed VE day celebrations on Thursday the 8th of May. In the morning they learnt about VE day, ww2 history and discussed how it may have felt to be a part of that time. They then made bunting, listened and sang ww2 songs and made 3D spitfires. In the afternoon, they joined up with Etal class to have a mini street party, enjoying a treat outdoors. The sun then came out for our traditional games, we played bean bag toss, hopscotch, hula hooping and skipping. Ford class were very kind and helped KS1 and EYFS to play the games. A super day!
