Roman Day 2009

On Friday, November 27, Class 8 had great fun learning about the Romans by travelling back in time for the day. They found out very quickly that Roman clothing was very different to school uniform and that putting on a toga was a tricky task.

After togas were securely fastened, the children found out about Roman coins and jewellery.  They made their own jewellery and laurel wreath and then went on to learn about the food that Romans ate.  They enjoyed some Roman style food but stuffed dormice were replaced by chocolate ones.

This was all part of our Roman themed term, where we have already made mosaics and pottery and met a real archaeologist.  Class 8 know that History can be fun.

One small step for man...One giant leap for Years 4 and 5

Years 4 and 5 had a fab day out last week at the Gateshead Stadium, where they met the crew the NASA Space Shuttle Discovery STS-119.

STS-119 was a space shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS).  The STS-119 mission delivered the final set of solar arrays needed to complete the ISS complement of electricity-generating solar panels.

Class Six Go To The Movies

stockxpertcom_id416803_size0.jpg

Mrs Wong's Literacy set have been studying a unit of work on 'Persuasive Texts.' We looked at written adverts and the features they use to try to entice you to try the product.

Next, we looked at DVD cases and the text on the back that tries to encourage you to watch the film.

Finally, we looked at DVD trailers. We watched them to see how the moving images, sound track, voice over and sound effects are used to create a trailer that makes us desperate to see that film.

Our job was to then make a DVD trailer of our own. We used 'Photo story' to make a trailer for 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.'
• We sequenced images from the film.
• We added titles to some of these images to entice you to watch the film.
• Next, we wrote a script ready for the voiceover.
• Having practised the script, we were ready to record the voiceover. We did our best to use exciting voices and even tried to sound like some of the characters from the film.
• The finishing touch was the music. We chose this carefully to match the mood of the film.

Once we had finished, we had a screening for our parents and carers. We had popcorn whilst we watched the trailers.

It was great fun and we produced some very professional trailers. Have a look and see what you think...

Learning about life with a visual impairment

Amanda Ross (teacher for visual impairment) and her team spent the morning with children from Year 3/4. Lots of practical activities were offered to children so that they could find out for themselves what it would be like to have a visual impairment.

During the afternoon Year 5/6 took part in workshops with Maxine Caine (our Educational Psychologist) and Mrs Preece to investigate how co-ordination difficulties affect the lives of many people. They too had the chance to experience what it would be like to be visually impaired using some of Amanda's equipment.

 Not only did the children have to have to move around using the specialist glasses- they also had to complete an obstacle course. This gave us all a good idea of what it would be like to walk down Gateshead high street with a visual impairment.

A co-ordination activity that left us all frustrated!

Did anyone manage to draw around the whole star?

Our visit to Metro Radio

smallmetro radio 008.jpg

Back in the Spring Term, Class 7 were rewarded for having the highest whole class attendance by having a studio tour of Metro Radio. This included entertainment by Martin the Magician, who performed a number of tricks, one in particular included using a live rabbit! The highlight was meeting DJ Wayne who explained how the machinery in his studio worked and the children actually recorded a windy jingle which was played that evening live on the radio. The children danced the rest of the night away to the tunes of DJ Kenny and took part in the best dancer competition. They all received a gift and a buffet was put on. The children had an unforgettable evening. The staff at Metro commented on their exceptional behaviour and manners. Well Done Class 7!

Christmas Activities in Lower Key Stage Two
