We made a new colour with a friend, can you guess which colours we made?

Nursery had lots of fun playing in the snow and ice this week! Some great opportunities for developing our language skills.

We had a wonderful day celebrating the annual campaign supporting disadvantaged children in the UK. Reception thought about how to be a good friend to everyone and that it can make others happy.

Reception enjoyed making their own bread to end their learning based on the story 'The Little Red Hen'. We weighed, mixed, kneaded and shaped the dough before baking it in our oven. Our school smelled amazing and the children thoroughly enjoyed the process!

We pedalled our way to a delicious fruit smoothie! 6Ct showed plenty of determination and enthusiasm as they powered the blender with their own cycling energy. It was a fun and tasty way to stay active and learn about healthy choices!

We had a lovely time this week thinking about how to be a good friend, we made bracelets and pictures for each other.  We loved dressing up for children in need.

6RH have been busy exploring electrical circuits, learning how to connect components like bulbs, wires, and switches to make their own working systems. They experimented with creating complete and incomplete circuits, then moved on to designing clear circuit diagrams using the correct symbols. To apply their learning, the class studied how traffic lights work, discussing how a sequence of circuits controls the changing colours. By the end, they were able to explain how electr

Year 6 were inspired to write funny food poems after joining a live session with Michael Rosen! He read some of his poems and explained where he got his ideas from and how he put the poems together. We used some of his ideas to write our own poems and then read our poems out to the class.

We have had a fun filled first half term in Reception! We could not be prouder of our Early Years children and how they have settled into school life here at Star of the Sea. What a journey to be on!

We collected apples from our school orchard to make our apple crumble. We chopped, mixed and layered the ingredients before baking it in the oven. It smelled delicious!

Autumn pumpkin play. The children loved hammering the pumpkins and practising all their fine motor skills!

🚀✨ Year 5 have been working incredibly hard publishing their non-chronological reports on Space! From fascinating facts about planets to deep dives into black holes and beyond, these young authors have shown stellar dedication—researching, drafting, and now proudly publishing their incredible writing. Their curiosity and creativity truly shine across the galaxy of ideas they've explored! 💫 🌍✏️📚

This week, our Year 5 pupils took part in a valuable road safety refresher session led by North Tyneside Council. The workshop was designed to reinforce key safety messages and equip children with practical knowledge to help them stay safe while walking or cycling near roads. Through engaging activities and discussions, pupils revisited important topics such as the Green Cross Code, safe crossing points, and how to be visible to drivers. The session also encouraged pupils to

✨🚀 Today, Year 5 boldly went where no marshmallow has gone before... into space! Armed with spaghetti and a galaxy of imagination, our young astronomers recreated constellations — one sticky star at a time. 🌌 Who knew the Big Dipper was so delicious? 🍡💫 STEM, snacks, and a sprinkle of stardust — just another day in orbit at school! #StarryEyedScientists #MarshmallowMilkyWay #STEMisYum
