• Bringing the tourists to Gateshead!

  Fri 26 Feb 2021

  After beginning our new class text – The London Eye Mystery – this week, Mercury class have been designing their own landmark or tourist attraction which would encourage people to visit Gateshead. We conducted some research into what makes current tourist attractions popular, using CAD software to design our ideas, then made a model of them using a variety of tools and materials.

• Happy Chinese New Year!

  Fri 26 Feb 2021

  Venus have been celebrating Chinese New Year. We have read and listened to many Chinese legends and learned how the years were names. We have made lanterns, dragons, picture frames and pellet drums. We have also written stories, solved maths problems and learned amazing facts about Chinese animals. It is the Year of the Ox so we have even made origami oxen.

• Inventive Instruments

  Thu 25 Feb 2021

  This week Neptune have enjoyed completing a DT project. The children had to research, design, plan and create an instrument based on a given design brief. Their instruments are inspired by musical instruments from a wide range of countries , with the capabilities of creating sound in different ways. I have to say I couldn’t be prouder of the hard work and effort that has gone into these projects by the children both at home and in school. Well done Neptune!
