Welcome to our class page for this academic year.  Throughout the year we will populate this page with our learning and experiences.  Please check back regularly for updates and our latest news. 

Barnes Park

We had so much fun at the Barnes Park Family Fun Day.  We enjoyed going on the rides, doing archery and even a bit of dancing!

We had lots of fun dressing up. We got to create our own characters.

Sports Day

In preparation for Sports Day, we held a practice session.  We worked with Year 1 showing them the different events.

Maths

We have been doing some real life maths. We have looked at some pizza menus and worked out the price of our ideal order, how much change we could get and what we could actually afford with a budget. We even managed to go outside and enjoy the sunshine!

La Petite Creperie.

We had a visit form Julien from La Petite Creperie. Julien gave us a short presentation before we polished off our best French phrases and ordered a delicious crepe!

Micro:bit

We have had great fun coding our Micro:bit devices. We can spell out our names, create flashing images and even get the device to play music that we have created.

Forrest School

The class have had a wonderful time at Forrest School at Sandhill View.  Children enjoyed some gardening! They have explored the different fruit trees, vegetables and plants that are growing in their garden.

Bench Ball

It was raining outside but we didn't let the rain spoil our PE session - we came inside and played some bench ball!

3D Shapes

We have been working hard to identify properties of 3D shapes. We have looked at each 3D shape to work out the faces, sides and vertices.

Reading Fluency

The class have been working so hard to develop their reading fluency, improve their writing skills and have been able to read and interpret bar charts and pie charts in maths.

Safetyworks!

Year 6 had an enjoyable learning experience participating safely in realistic situations illustrating every day hazards and how to prevent them. Working with Northumbria Police, , Nexus who run the Metro system, Local Authority Road Safety teams and RNLI they have learnt some valuable lessons in keeping safe in different circumstances.

World Book Day

Climate Change

The children in Cedar class have been writing persuasive speeches as part of their English lessons. This video on climate change illustrates the quality of their vocabulary and their, confident, informative and persuasive speaking. Let’s work together to heed their advice!

Busy Week

We've had a very busy week! We have explored ways to combat bullying, re-told The Nativity Story as a comic strip and have tackled adding and subtracting fractions.

Forest School 

We had a great time at forest school at Sandhill View School. We participated in fun activities such as building shelters, reading maps, and toasting marshmallows.

Children in Need

We had an amazing time raising money for children in need while cruising around the playground on our bikes and scooters.

Cedar class had a wonderful day at the Eden Camp Modern History Theme Museum in Malton. The children enjoyed exploring the museum's numerous huts, discovering military vehicles from World War Two, and having a blast in the war-themed play area.
