We had a brilliant day at Ryton Pools learning new facts and expanding on our knowledge of The Stone Age. We looked at artefacts, built dens, toasted ‘mushrooms’ and learnt about the history of the local environment.

Mrs Pedley and her group have been busy creating a whole host of interesting Halloween based items.

Our year 6 sports leaders having been supporting on the Key Stage 1 playground and helping Mr Hancock and Mr Burgess with their lunchtime clubs.

This week, year 3 enjoyed writing and performing their own cinquain poems about animals. We followed the rules carefully and expanded our vocabulary choices.

We enjoyed using our investigative skills to find patterns in numbers. It was a little windy but that didn’t stop us from going outside and using our outdoor classroom.

We have been working hard to learn the many, many, many rules of netball.

Year five have been practising their athletics skills this half term and applying their Real PE skills of reaction and response.

Here are some of our KS2 children who attend our after school club, Relax Kids. The children are learning to explore their emotions whilst also learning skills to support their mental well-being.

As you can see from the photos, the children have been trying really hard during their PE lessons and having lots of fun at the same time. They have been working on their running, jumping and throwing skills as well as balancing on one leg.

Here we have DJing, cooking, American Football, drama and martial arts. The children are really enjoying having a wide variety of clubs to choose from.
