Green Tree Award
Mrs Sweet, our reception teacher, was pleased to learn this week that our school achieved the Green Tree Bronze Level Award with the Woodland Trust. We have gained this for our outdoor learning curriculum and the work we undertake teaching our children about the woods, trees and wildlife.
There are a variety of hands-on, educational activities that can be undertaken to achieve the award, that is designed to encourage children to explore the natural world around them. One activity was a tree planting event which was attended by many parents. Our next target to aim for is Silver Level.

Easter Assembly
We welcomed Mrs White (Susan) into our school today. She came and talked about what Easter is about. Susan used a chocolate egg and said that, although a chocolate egg is nice, it is hollow inside - whereas, Christians believe, that Jesus is full of love, kindness and sharing.
Susan is working at the Church of St Mary and St Cuthbert, where we have our nativity and harvest services.

Reception Rocket
The pupils in Reception have been allowed to borrow a pneumatic toy rocket (a rocket powered by gases) to experiment with in the outdoor classroom. They enjoyed counting down as one person at a time from their class tried pressing the pedal to power it.

Comic Relief
On the 24th March it is Comic Relief day also known as Red Nose Day.
Some people from Yr 5,Yr 6 and Yr 3 offered to help raise money for Comic Relief by preforming for the whole school. There was a lot of different acts; singing,dancing,drumming,playing the piano,telling jokes and a lot more!
We also had a non-uniform day to hep raise money.
Red Nose Day, or Comic Relief Day, helps children in the UK and Africa. We saw a video about a boy called Hassan, who had lost his mother to the tragic Ebola virus. Money that was raised by Comic Relief has helped to send Hassan to school where he can be educated and develop his life. He would also get hot meals and proper school uniform - Comic Relief has changed his life.

1000 Cranes, well nearly 1000 and swans.
Discovery News
This afternoon, we made some origami swans. These are similar to the cranes that a girl called Sadako Sasaki made whilst she was ill following the atomic bomb drop on Hiroshima. Aged 2, Sadako was diagnosed with Leukaemia which made her ill. Sadly, at the age of 11 she died, but not after trying to make 1000 cranes from paper. There is a Japanese legend that says that if you make 1000 cranes then you will be granted 1 wish. We have made 78 swans (easier to make than cranes). They have become a symbol of peace between people. It was interesting to learn about Sadako and discuss whether she was a real symbol of world peace.
Why bright socks?

What is school life like?
Wednesday 25th January 2017
Today, (in literacy) we wrote a 'Ship's Log', which was connected to our class book 'Kensuke's Kingdom'. We have recently been planning which events from the book we were going to put into it : such as going to Australia and the canaries.
"It was really good and I liked how it was set out."
Eve- about literacy.
In maths we are learning how to convert metric to imperial lengths, masses and volumes - such as feet into metres and kilograms to pounds.
"Maths has been really good and we have learn't about converting between metric and imperial units- which is very useful to learn for every day life."
Priya- about Numeracy.
In the afternoon, (in science) we learned about 'the Law of Reflection' and did an experiment in the dark to test it. When we learned about it, we also had to learn about the 'Normal line' and the lines of incidence and reflection.
"Science is really good because you get to do lots of experiments.When you are doing it you understand what is being said clearly. Also, I really enjoy learning about our experiments."

On 15th of March, a person from Beat the streets (BTS) came into our school and gave us a special assembly. BTS' goal is to get more people outside, so that you can walk, cycle, scooter or run. Everyone is invited! Some schools around Chester-Le-Street have been chosen to participate in this event. Our school can receive up to £400 in Decathlon vouchers! You will get a card and a little key-ring to get points. Beat boxes are placed all around Chester-Le-Street. Try and find as many as you can!
All you have to do is tap - a light will flash on the box and make a noise. To get 10 points you have to go to two boxes. - you can't do it two times at one box! If they find you cheating you will get disqualified and loose all of your points.

Police Dogs
On Tuesday 28th February, a police 'handler' came into Red Rose with her two Labradors (Jet and Ben). The last time the Labradors came was roughly four years ago -which is why the police came in to talk about
saying no to strangers. We learned about what to do if a stranger offered you something or tried to take you into their car. We learned about how the internet can be both dangerous and fun. If you want to listen to a song that they used, please click on the following link: www.jetandben.co.uk/jetandben_song.html .
