EL #BetterWorldDay 2023!

It’s @ELeducation‘s #BetterWorldDay! Here’s a beautiful example of how the community at Plover School are stepping up and doing their bit to make the world a better place with their Plover Pantry food bank.

Year 7 students at XP Gateshead carried out a day of fundraising! Working together in Crews, our students carried 5 litre bottles of water around as many laps of the 400m track as they could…

Fieldwork in the Sunshine ☀️

Class 5 have had a great day in the sunshine exploring Austerfield Study Centre. We tried our hand at orienteering and how working together as a crew was going to help us succeed. We had lunch in the sunshine followed by our own mini exploration where we made journey sticks, maps and studied the nature and environment we were in.

The children all behaved impeccably and were a joy to spend the day with. A huge thank you to Miss Tinker and Mrs Inman who supported us today.

We are writers ✍

We have been working hard to write simple sentences this week. The children have used their phonic knowledge to spell words and also tried hard with their letter formation.👏 What super stars you all are!

What a great day at Austerfield for Year One….

Austerfield fieldwork

Year 1 had an amazing time visiting Austerfield Study Centre. We were very excited to join orienteering and woodland explore sessions. The children were brilliant listening and following instructions well, showing their interest and enthusiasm making Norton School super proud. Well done everybody.

Bonds to 10 🔢🔟

This week the children have really impressed me with their maths skills. We have been finding pairs of numbers that make 10. We have used numicon and multilink to help us find all our number bonds to 10. This is us working hard in Maths this week…

What is the journey of King Charles III?

This week we have been historians researching the time line of King Charles III and exploring his family tree.

We have also been design technologists researching coins in preparation for designing our own coronation commemorative coins.

Finally, we demonstrated our beautiful handwriting in our invitations to our grown ups for Friday’s celebration.
