This week B14 have been learning all about the famous photographer Edward Weston and his amazing photographic art. The children have been all round school taking inspirational photographs from what they see and eat (healthy snacks), so the adults around them can see how they view the world. They have taken some fantastic shots and we can’t wait to put them together in their portfolio. But here is a sneaky peek!
This week in Beech Class, we have been learning all about some of our most famous children’s authors. Our main focus was Road Dahl. Along with the rest of the school, we also took part in all of the wonderful activities and fun, to celebrate Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee. We wish all of you a relaxing half term holiday.
The Erasmus team at the Dales school welcomed our partners from Italy, France, Belgium and Spain last week.
The Team spent their first day looking around both sites and exploring our new train in our yard. In the afternoon the partners went on visits around the local area. They visited Alnwick and went to the castle and learnt to fly on their Harry Potter broomsticks. This was a huge success and the partners couldn’t believe they learned to fly, as they thought this to be impossible. On another visit, they went to Beamish, and again they were blown away with the museum and all it had to offer. After all the fun it was time for business and the partners linked up with different classes around the school to see what we offer. They were so taken aback by all the work we do for our children that they stated it was a life changing way of looking at education. The project is a Maths based topic but The Dales School take a different look at maths and try to incorporate it into all aspects of the curriculum.
This week in B10, we learned about famous people in the world of religion. We asked ourselves ‘what really is a religion?’ and compared and contrasted the world’s main religions.
We also took time to discuss the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, looking closer at her role and duties as monarch of the United Kingdom. We researched about how different the world has become during her long reign. We also baked some cheese scones and chocolate brownies to enjoy as a treat.
The children of B11 class studied a variety of different artists and worked in a similar style.
They explored a range of different mediums and techniques.

Two Classes went on a special visit to Aln Valley Railway. We looked at the steam engines and had a ride on their Pacer train. We looked at a viaduct built by Robert Stephenson and also sat on a Harry Potter style coach. Aln Valley have also been helping us with our Pacer train and helped by taking out the seats.
In outdoor learning we have been learning about Bees and making some Bee art. The children decided this will help raise awareness of the importance of Bees. We even used hammers and nails to create our own flower bed looking at measurements and working as a team.
