Free P.E. ( Thanks Jasmine)

23rd March 2020r king

As our school is a member of the Jasmine Platform, we have been given free access for parents to use at home with the kids. Keeping a healthy body and mind will be really important during the current climate.

real PE at home – online learning resources

real PE at home includes an online programme which supports families to be active, play and learn together. It includes a programme specifically for children in Early Years and Key Stage 1 with 12 themes, 6 areas, over 250 activities and challenges and 1000s of hours of fun and activity. This programme is also great for family play and fun.

It also includes a programme for children in Key Stage 2, with daily and weekly guidance provided for both programmes (starting from next week) in addition to an option to choose your own themes and activities.

There are so many benefits to being active, not only to our physical well-being but also to our emotional and mental health, especially in such testing times for all of us. We hope that the ideas help support you and your family to stay fit and healthy in the coming months. Here are the details to access real PE at home:

Y2 First Aiders

10th March 2020s cox

Thanks to Miss Tait, Y2 had their first ‘First Aid’ session today.

We learned how to wash our hands correctly, including a song…ask us to sing it to you. It will help you to remember all the parts of your hands that need washing. We’ve been using the song in our regular hand washing times in school.

Then we learned how to help a friend when they had a nose bleed. Gloves on, head down and pinch their nose for 10 minutes.

Then we sorted items by whether they belonged in a first aid kit or not.

We can’t wait for our next session! Thanks Miss Tait for organising this for us!

 

Attendance Shop Success!

28th February 2020J Little

Our first ever attendance shop was a huge success! 

We were able to spend our attendance stars that we earned for each full week we were at school!  With 6 whole stars on offer, we had a range of fun and exciting items to choose from; hand puppets, slime, fancy rubbers, bouncy balls, the list was endless!

Some children made the VIP list for 100% attendance last half term, and some even made the VVIP list for 100% attendance since SEPTEMBER!  What an achievement!  

We had so much fun going to our attendance shop and we CAN NOT wait to go again!!

Our new attendance mascot has been settling into life at Toner brilliantly! He has been busy in Y6 expanding his vocabulary, learning his times tables & giving the children a warm welcome into the classroom!

However, he is still nameless! The children from across the school have been busy thinking of name options & we have had a very hard time narrowing down the options, please help us decided on the final name by voting in the poll below:

The winning name will be announced during our attendance assembly on Monday 24th February!

Fabulous Questions

5th February 2020r king

Today in Y2RK, we gave Mr King and Miss Edwards a break from marking our work. We worked in small groups to compose some questions from different charts, for a different group to answer. We then marked their work to see if they got them right. We have really enjoyed our work on data handling, and can’t wait to see what topic we’ll be doing next in Maths.

Y2 Learn the Continents, Oceans and all about Kenya

13th January 2020s cox

As part of our Big Question, ‘How can we look after our world?’, the children have been learning the 7 continents and the 5 oceans.

Warburtons Visit Y2

20th December 2019s cox

The fun never stops in Year 2. What a busy, exciting term we’ve had.

On Thursday, not only was it our party, we also had a visit from the lovely Gail from Warburtons. She taught us how they made bread at Warburtons on a large scale and about ‘healthy stuff’.

The children had a fantastic time, as you can see from the photos.

May we take this opportuity to thank all of the Y2 families for their support this term and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

Quayside adventures with ‘That History Bloke’

13th December 2019r king

Today the children in year 2 had a fantastic time visiting the sights of the Great Fire of Gateshead and Newcastle. Thanks to ‘That History Bloke’ for sharing his knowledge with us and making us more aware of the events from Friday October 6th 1854.

 

That History Bloke – Part One

11th December 2019s cox

Year 2 had a brilliant time with Richard ‘That History Bloke’ today!

We learned so much and got to touch and use items from the Victorian Times! (Ask the children to explain what a ‘Gazunda’ is 😂🙈) We learned the names of the important landmarks and places we are visiting tomorrow, we guessed the jobs that people did in the past by investigating their possessions. We even made up a play. We learned lots AND we had fun! Richard was very pleased to hear this!

The children were totally engrossed with the whole session and it was a brilliant day!

The children ended the day chanting “History is fun, history is fun!” and Richard said it was the best Christmas present to hear that.

It made us even more excited for our visit to the Quayside tomorrow, to visit all the places we learned about today and to find out even more.

We can’t think of a better way to round off our learning about ‘Fire; Friend or Foe?’
