Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes!

7th October 2021Lee Wilkinson

Our theme this half term is ‘Growing and Changing’. Ocean Class have been working hard to explore each of our senses – touching, tasting, seeing and hearing. Each week we have key songs and stories that relate to our ‘sense of the week’.

This week we have been focusing on hearing. Key songs have included ‘Do your ears hang low?’, ‘I hear thunder’ and ‘Old MacDonald’. We have enjoyed exploring a range of loud and quite sensory materials and each day we choose an instrument for our music and movement session. Our key story is ‘Going on a Bear Hunt’ and children have enjoyed touching bears and moving them around the classroom. We explored our own tuff tray forest and children were excellent at finding (and eating!) the edible bears!

Here comes the sun!

16th July 2021Daniel Harrison

We’ve had some lovely sunny weather to end the year here at Blythdale and this week the children have been preparing to say goodbye for the summer and celebrating all of their hard work over the year.

The children have started the week with phonics, working on their reading and spelling, and have continued to do their daily handwriting practice and one-to-one reading with staff. The children have read the story Leaf in class, about a polar bear that gets lost and ends up in a forest, to finish off our habitats topic. Using this as inspiration, they have revisited their computing skills to make up their own lost animal stories using an online storyboard creator.

Thinking about European foods, the children have been in the cookery room again this week, independently mixing up batter and cooking this to make sweet crepes, which they ate with fresh fruit and berries that they prepared. The children have also been on a visit to nearby Chase Farm park. They have been learning about using their left and right to tell direction, and have practiced their independence and road safety skills, taking it in turns to lead the group safely to and from the park.

As a reward to celebrate the children’s hard work this year 6B have also had a movie morning, a sports activity morning and have had some social time at the end of the week to play games together and talk with their friends.

All that is left to say is well done to all of 6B, you have worked so hard and grown up so much this year! Daniel, Catherine and Pauline wish you all the best for next year and hope you have a great summer!

Bird watch!

15th July 2021Chloe Downey

This week we have focused on bird homes around the area. We looked for birds within the school garden and thought about how their homes help keep them safe from predators and happy with lots of food to survive. We created our own birds nests made from the natural materials that we collected.

We made some bird feeders using pine cones, string, raisins, cheese, lard and seeds. Delicious! We look forward to spoiling our lovely birds with their treats!

Turn it off!

23rd June 2021Chloe Downey

This week we have been thinking about what we need to do to keep our houses clean and tidy. We created story boards to demonstrate how to sequence our chores and filmed ‘How To’ videos.

On Friday we looked at costs involved in running a house. We looked at bills for gas, electricity, water and council tax and thought about what we use different utilities for. We created posters to persuade others to ‘save’ energy. Give it a go!

Who lives in a house like this?

17th June 2021Chloe Downey

In Class 5B, we have been thinking about where we live and what we have in our homes. We enjoyed sharing our family homes and using the internet to find items for our ‘dream bedrooms’. We compared and created floor plans and made our very own ‘Zoopla’ style adverts for the houses we would like.

Ready, Steady, Cook!

20th May 2021Chloe Downey

This week we have been inspired by famous chefs! We have researched and designed our own edible creations including pancakes, smoothies and cupcakes. Delicious!

By looking at a variety of recipe books we were able to identify key ingredients in cakes and write our own ingredients lists before designing and creating our beautiful cupcakes. We took inspiration from rainbows, the environment, Pokemon and even the McDonald’s logo. We took care in making our designs come to life and thoroughly enjoyed taste testing them!

Story time!

10th May 2021Chloe Downey

This week 5B became authors! We looked at different authors, what they like to write about and how a book is made. We shared our favourite books and talked about what makes them so special.

We enjoyed Roald Dahl’s ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ and designed and created our own medicines to help others. When reading ‘Giraffe’s Can’t Dance’, we discussed the animals and the habitats that they are suited to. We each researched a different habitat using atlases and information texts and created ‘Our Habitat Book’.

Survey re: Community Activities for Children with SEND

10th May 2021Glynis Burn

Parent / Carer Survey re: Community Based Activities for Children with SEND

Dear Parents/Carers

We have been asked by Northumberland County Council to support our parents & carers to take part in a survey.   This is to give them a better understanding of the difficulties that children with additional needs have, when accessing out of school activities.

This is your opportunity to share your experiences (good and bad)!!

The type of community based activities, which they are looking at are:

  • Football Clubs
  • Swimming Lessons
  • Sports and Leisure Classes
  • Brownies
  • Scouts
  • Youth Groups

A covering letter from Northumberland County Council will be emailed to you, and will also be available on our facebook page.

The letter will lead you to a link which you can use to express your interest if you wish to take part in this survey.

We hope that you take this opportunity to ‘have a voice’ and raise awareness of this shortfall in provision.

Many thanks

Glynis Burn                                         Tracy Henderson

Family Partnership Manager                Family Partnership Co-ordinator
