Pine Class - Day to Day (Autumn 2)
The second half of the Autumn term has been a busy time for Pine class with a trips to Safety-works and Northumbria University, completing a second lot of assessments and learning about new topics across the curriculum. The children at Safety-works were taught the importance of safety in everyday environments such as the metro station, in shops or at home. This was in theme with Bonfire night. The trip to Northumbria University was to support the students with understanding the environment of Antarctica and how to prevent global warming and the ice melting. They also got a tour of the fantastic facilities available locally if they are to one day pursue further education.
Developing an understanding of Mountains and the local terrain has been the topic for geography. The children have wrote an explanation text on the heart (developed previously in science) and presented their text's to each other in class. In RE, the children have learnt the importance of Christmas tradition and the birth of Jesus. The children have also enjoyed making a waistcoat in DT and Christmas crafts to end our term. The children I know are super excited for Christmas but also for the next term where they will learn about The Tudors in history, Electricity in science and developing new skills in Basketball.

We have learnt how to play new games, worked as part of a team, explored seasonal changes, made up new games, had fires and cooked over them, learnt how to use a ghilli kettle, whittled using a sheath knife and more! We can manage our own risks, stay safe and keep others safe, we are resilient, great problem solvers and caring towards nature.
