Welcome to our Cherry Class Page. Here you can find out about all about the exciting things we have been doing and learning about in school.
Autumn 1
This half term in PE, we have been lucky enough to do our PE sessions with Mr Elliott from the Newcastle United Foundation. During these sessions, we have been focusing on developing our football skills.
During our Art lessons, we have been looking at pre-Historic art. We sketched Stone-Age animals in our sketch books and then enlarged them, using charcoal to outline them. We then designed and created our own cave drawing using charcoal, oil pastels and chalk. They looked fantastic!
We found out about the Beaker people in our History lessons. These people lived during the early Bronze Age and were often buried with the beakers that they had made. We used clay to create our own version.
In our RE lessons, we found about Hinduism. We learnt all about a Hindu festival called Diwali. We found out how Hindus prepare for Diwali and what they get up to on the day. We found out why Diwali is called the festival of lights and created Diva lamps out of salt dough. We had lots of fun painting them!
Autumn 2
In our Science lessons, our topic was Food and our Bodies. In this topic, we looked at the diet of different animals and sorted animals into carnivores, omnivores or herbivores. We then focused on the human diet, we used the eat well plate to sort foods into their different food groups. We investigated how much sugar is in different drinks and were surprised by some of the results. Finally, we looked at the human skeleton and labelled the main bones and joints.
As part of our learning about climate change, we took a trip to Beamish. During our visit we explored the museum and took part in a workshop all about sustainable energy.
During December, we enjoyed lots of Christmas activities. We enjoyed a visit to St Paul’s Church where we found out about the Christmas Story and took part in lots of activities. To end the year, we dressed up for our Christmas party where we had lots of fun playing games and dancing.
