Fairtrade Fortnight
6th March 2019
To celebrate fair trade fortnight, we took part in some activities that show the importance of fair trade. Firstly we split into groups and created a little drama sequence that showed how fair trade bananas journey from the tree into our supermarket in the United Kingdom.
Secondly we used fair trade chocolate to make our own Rice Krispie cakes. It was really messy but were so excited to take them home and eat them.
Article 32 – You have the right to protection from work that harms you and is bad for your health and education
Wants and Needs
22nd February 2019
As a class we discussed the difference between wants and needs. Everyone agreed that food, clothes, shelter, clean water and feeling safe were needs. We found out that some peoples needs are different to others. Most of the class would like a dog as a pet but a blind person may need a dog to live independently.
We worked in groups to sort pictures and decide which ones were a want and which ones were a need. Then we made posters to show our own wants and needs.
Going for Goals
25th January 2019
We tried three different ways of learning. Seeing-this was through demonstration. Hearing-this was through spoken instructions. Doing– this was through trial and error.
We all took a turn to try the three ways of learning. Then we discussed which way we found easier to complete the task.
Everyone decided that they learn better by using all three different ways together.
Article 13: You have the right to find things out.
Northumbrian Water

Northumbrian water visited school to talk about keeping safe. They explained what each sign meant and that we must stay away from building sites. Mr Brentnall and Miss Clifford dressed up in safety clothes. Some children were given certificates for designing wildlife posters to go on the barriers where work will take place near to school.

Getting On and Falling Out

This theme focuses on developing children’s knowledge, understanding and skills in three key social and emotional aspects of learning: empathy, managing feelings (with a focus on anger) and social skills.
We talked about friendship and made a good friend word wall. Using drama we showed how friends should help and care for each other.
