Year 3 have been learning about different levers and linkages in DT this week. We created our own examples of a bell crank lever and reverse motion linkage using card and split pins. Year 3 have made a fantastic start to our Performance Poetry unit in English. They have practised working in groups using volume and expression to perform different poems to the rest of the class and will move on to writing their own poems to perform next week!

Year 1 have been really busy this week thinking about measuring. We started by estimating a minute then we learned how to tell the time using the mini clocks! We also created our own version of the River Tyne and the Yellow River in China to show their different lengths.  Year 1 have had a brilliant start to our new school year, getting straight into our new 'China' topic! We loved dressing up to tell the story of 'Mulan' and finding out some facts about China.

Year 2 used a range of pencil drawing techniques ang pencil grades to create complete images of the Titanic. Year 2 have loved writing and sharing their hilarious 'Imagine' poetry this week! What a fun way to start the year.

This week Year 4 have been learning the 11x tables in our Times tables race! We also loved practising control and invasion skills during Hockey this week. Year 4 have had a great first week back. We used maps to play games, locate different countries and their capital cities, during our Geography topic, Europe.

Year 6 are having a great time creating their own reaction game prototypes using craft knives with accuracy to create the perfect shapes and programming the Microbits to create buzzers.

Reception have enjoyed listening to stories about Space this week, our new topic.  We have painted pictures of aliens and made very strange looking aliens with playdough.

Y5 have enjoyed programming microbits in computing. We created a beating heart symbol and a moving duck! We also started investigating news articles in preparation for our English task - Aladdin's disappearance. Y5 had to come indoors for PE this week due to the weather. We had a warm-up session, drills for passing and a small-sided game. The warm-up was intense and we incorporated speed, agility and quickness drills. We learned two ways of passing and how to pivot.

Nursery were so shocked to see the naughty snowmen on the CCTV in our ‘Winter Wonderland’ throwing snowballs at the teachers. It was so much fun playing in our Winter Wonderland, we glided across our ice rink and enjoyed a hot chocolate and cake from our Hot Chocolate café. We also had fun moulding miniature snowman using playdough. We explored the topic of ‘Winter’ in Nursery. We researched all about different kind of artic animals and had fun playing with them in water and

Dear Parents and Carers of St Cuthbert’s, Re: Snow Closure Procedures At St Cuthbert’s we take our responsibility seriously to educate and care for our pupils and wherever possible it is our intention to open as normal during periods of difficult weather. We appreciate that closure impacts on children’s learning and parents’ childcare arrangements. However, we also recognise our responsibility towards the safety of children and adults on site and whilst journeying to and from

Reception and Year 6 loved meeting up this week playing and sharing their news about what they did over the Christmas holidays.

Year 6 had a great last week of term in school ! They enjoyed a Christmas quiz, extra time with their Reception Buddies and a fabulous party lunch and disco! Year 6 have had a brilliant week. They entertained customers at the Toby Carvery on Thursday and residents at Kenton Hall today. They sang and danced brilliantly but a real highlight was sharing cards they made with residents. Well done, Year 6! In dance this week, Year 6 continued to work on their tutting skills and wor

Year 4 had a great time this week, performing for parents and Residents at Kilborne House, as well as enjoying their party day! Have a wonderful Christmas Year 4! In Year 4 we are working hard to complete our own single point perspective piece of art, experimenting with our own choice of medium, ready to plan our final piece. We also loved our Christmas Movie morning. Year 4 investigated how sound travels this week. We used drums, tuning forks and metal hangers to explore dif

The Nursery children put on their fancy clothes and dancing shoes for our Christmas party.  We boogied in the hall to Christmas music, played party games, ate delicious party food and even had a very special visit from Santa.  What an exciting day!  The Nursery staff were very proud of the children when they performed the ‘Christmas Sing Song.’ The children stood beautifully and loved sharing with their families, songs that told the story of when Baby Jesus was born.  We have

Y5 completed their artwork linked to a Starry Nigh By Van Gogh. The narrative changed as we linked this to our RE advent topic and Christmas cards. We hope our families love the results. Merry Christmas and happy new year! Y5 enjoyed their last dance session. We worked in groups to choreograph a cannon and individual aspect of a group dance. Great teamwork! One friend was kind enough to bring their guitar into school and played several snippets of the songs he's been learning

Reception class had great fun at our Christmas party.  We looked very festive in our party clothes and loved dancing to the Christmas music.  We enjoyed playing party games and eating yummy party food.  We even had a special visit from Santa.   We wish all of our Reception families and friends a very Merry Christmas. Reception class enjoyed sharing the story of baby Jesus being born through fantastic singing and acting in their Nativity. Well done everyone. Reception have lov
