Spring Term in

Class 4 Gangsta Granny

Class 4 began reading Gangsta Granny by

David Walliams and have created some great

pieces of work based on the story. In literacy

lessons, we drew an artist’s impression of Ben

and Granny and wrote some gruesome

recipes

which

were

inspired

by

Granny’s

“cabbage

soup”.

For our class display, we

drew and decorated a life

size image of Ben and

Granny, using a range of

materials such as

watercolour paint, wool and

felt.

When we finish the book at the start of the

summer term we will be visiting the Empire

Theatre in Sunderland to enjoy the stage

production of the story. We are really looking

forward to it!!

Skipping!

As part of our P.E.

lessons, we took

part in a skipping

workshop and

learnt lots of new

skills. Gail, our

skipping teacher,

showed us how to

skip as part of a

group and develop

some amazing

individual skills. We have been working very

hard since then and will be taking part in a

skipping festival in May where we can

showcase our new abilities.

St. Bede’s

During this term, teachers from St. Bede’s

school came to deliver some fantastic art,

music and P.E. lessons. We had such fun

learning a dance routine, creating art work

using repeating patterns and even recorded a

CD of some songs we had learnt. Later in the

year we will have the chance to visit St.

Bede’s school and see our art work on display.

Orienteering

In our maths

lessons, we

learnt about the

compass points

and following

directions. In

one lesson, we

were given a set

of instructions

and a map of

the school

which we followed in order to find a hidden

message. We really enjoyed working as part

of a team to improve our problem solving and

orienteering skills.

World Book Day

Every March,

our school

celebrates

World Book

Day. We all

come to school

dressed as a book character and take part in

lots of fun book-related activities.

This year we were given the chance to visit

Class 1 for a fun session. We all took a reading

book and read to a younger child to help

them to enjoy the experience of reading. We

talked about

the story

with other

children and

had a really

lovely time!

Easter Fun!

During the

Easter period

we had lots of

fun creating

our Easter

bonnets,

decorated eggs and dyed eggs. We had a

lovely shared meal which reminded us of the

Last Supper which Jesus shared with his

friends.
