Literacy

Numeracy

Form III held a sponsored silence to raise money for their chosen charity, ‘Hive Action’. The event was inspired by their study of ‘The Vikings’ and their merciless attacks on the monasteries in the North East. Most of the holy orders were silent and the monks developed a range of signals which negated the need for speech. Even in the face of attack, not a sound was uttered! Form III participated in a ’silent’ numeracy lesson. Neither Form III nor their teacher spoke a word or made a sound for a full hour, but communicated problems and answers to each other by the use of signs and individual chalk boards. They are pictured here after receiving the Kindness Cup. Their efforts will buy 17 bee hives and 1 goat for a village in Africa.

Form III had great fun performing ‘ZoZo’s French Party’ for their parents and grandparents.

Our Graduate Assistant helps the children to create a sundial as part of our study of light and shadows.

As part of our study of light and shadows, Form III children drew around their shadows to observe the effect of the earth’s movement around the sun.

Form III have been learning about the Vikings and how people from other societies have been coming to Britain for a long time. They have found out how the Viking influence spread through different parts of the world and how, over a period of years, the Vikings eventually settled in Britain.
Here are some of the children looking at the ‘Viking’ armour that an enthusiastic grandad has made.

Yet another Viking creation! 

Form III have been working on QCA Unit 3B ‘ Sandwich Snacks’
They have had a smashing time discussing ingredients and have even designed a ‘fantasy’ sandwich.

These pictures show them in the school kitchen making their favourite sandwich.

At The Gleddings we hold a weekly ‘Birthday Assembly’ where all birthdays are celebrated.

This Year 3 child brought her cake to school to share with her friends.

The cake was large enough to share between 3 classes.
