The children in class two showed their own interpretation of God by drawing their own images. We were considering the question 'What does it mean if God is holy and loving?' and how that might look. The children produced some beautiful work that they should be very proud of.

Butterknowle Class 1 began their DT topic by looking at different foods. We discussed the source, deciding whether it was plants or animals.

At Woodland, children in EYFS have been involved in lots of activities about birds. This links with our class text 'Sunny and the Birds'. To try to attract some feathered friends, we put some bird seed and a bath outside. We made a bird watching area and used our binoculars and an identification sheet - we spotted some blackbirds and a crow! We practised our cutting skills to make the tail on our bird craft.

At Woodland, Squirrel class had great fun with Mrs Unwin in our 'Little Fingers' music session. We love the new song we are learning for Christmas about brussel sprouts!

Hamsterley Primary School This morning, Class 1 enjoyed a Bonfire Night-themed Forest School session. The children created colourful ribbon sparklers and used natural materials to make nature artwork inspired by bonfires and fireworks. Before heading outside, they worked together to make apple crumble cones, which were then cooked over the fire.

A huge congratulations to all of the children who received a certificate in Celebration Assembly this week ! We are incredibly proud of your hard work , determination and positive attitude towards your learning.

Hamsterley Primary School This afternoon in DT, Class 1 explored a variety of foods and discussed where they come from. The children sorted and identified foods as being from either a plant source or an animal source, using their existing knowledge and observations to explain their choices. They engaged in discussion, compared ideas with their peers, and developed their understanding of where food originates.

Butterknowle Primary Our EYFS children have enjoyed a fantastic firework-themed art activity this week. Using paint and salad spinners, they explored colour mixing, patterns, and cause-and-effect while creating beautiful firework pictures. A fun, hands-on activity that combined creativity with learning!

This week in art, Year 5 and 6 eagerly unveiled their Taotie casts before painting them! 🎨 They were so impressed with how they turned out 🤩 and gained a new appreciation for the art of casting, which takes real skill and a lot of patience 🧘.
