New Wear Crossing

On Tuesday 21st November we visited the New Wear Crossing. We spent time learning about a variety of things linked to the bridge, such as; the clearing of the sight, construction of the bridge, how it will effect the city, costing of the bridge and materials and future business and projects. Karen showed us images which showed clear progression from the beginning of the project to where it is now. During the visit we also got the opportunity to actually see and feel some of the main parts of the bridge (the pylon). Just before we left we were able to go up onto the viewing platform and see the bridge in all its glory. We got some wonderful pictures!

Newcastle University Workshop.

Today we had a visit from Newcastle University. We completed a variety of interactive activities which saw us making our way around the university without actually being there! We worked on a selection of group activities and found out lots of valuable information about university life and the courses on offer. Here are some photos from our wonderful day...

Fake blood!

In Science we have been learning about the heart, blood vessels and blood. Today we made each component of our blood with a variety of materials including; cheerios, food colouring and marshmallows. It was very interesting and we had lots of fun!

Our Harvest preparation.

It isn't long until our Harvest Festival (Friday 13th October) and we have been preparing for our role in this years theme #giving.
