Hi everyone, It's great to try and do a little bit of reading each day. Here's a list of 7 websites where you can find free books to read online. You might find a new favourite!

Stairwall project- Arts workshop
Earlier this term went on a trip to the Cambois Institute. We had so much fun! We completed three different activities (Art, Dance and Music) with professionals! This was an experience that the children have never had before and they embraced the different cultures with the professionals originating from different parts of the world! A truly magnificent experience that the children loved. 
Surfing
Last term we spent Wednesday mornings surfing on the sea at South Shields. It was amazing. We developed incredible resilience, battling the weather to not only get on our surf boards, but to confidently move on them too. The collaborative working and persistence on show was outstanding!
Literacy
This half term we are reading the book 'Skellig.' We have recently completed a diary entry for this, whilst considering the key theme of 'Evolution.' 
 
Maths
We have completed place value , four operations and statistics so far in Maths. We use lots of concrete objects to support our learning and we have a big focus on 'Maths Talk' and being able to confidently verbalise our methods. 
 
Science
We have completed 'Living things and their habitat' and are now focusing on 'Animals including humans.'
