Many of our year groups have been taking part in South Tyneside’s Back to school games. Monday involved a variety of jumps that had to be measured accurately and Tuesday’s tasks had a lot of core challenges.
Here are some of our year 1, 2 and year 5 pupils in action.
Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.
Today’s Topic is International Chocolate day which is today. I’m not expecting a Ripple of laughter, maybe just a little Snicker. We’ll just Wispa that as we don’t want everyone getting too hungry. Someone is Bounty come up with something funnier. You lot being so Smartie pants. Get your thinking caps on and lets see who can make a Quality street joke. You know you are my Heroes! It won’t be a Picnic in the park as I’ve got a few Twix up my sleeve. By the time your’e finished, you might need some Time Out. Don’t spend too long. I really only want a minute of your Dime. Go on, give it a Twirl.
Have a Treat Tuesday,
Mrs Cunningham
Our EYFS Key Workers’ Bubble had a fantastic morning placing their decorated pebbles in the Redhead Park.
We counted over 200 pebbles now along the body of Sydney, the stay safe snake. We noted all the different colours and spotted a few other Mortimer pebbles along the body. We even had time for a few games on the grass.
A lovely community art project started by one of our very own Year 1 pupils.
A great time was had by all.
Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here.
Tonight on my way home I heard a story on the radio which I could not believe, so when I got home I Googled it and sure enough it is true. NASA has made a perfume called Eau De Space! Back in 2008 Nasa contacted a chemist called Steve Pearce, who started work to develop the fragrance.
Using details from astronauts who described the space smell, Pearce used his knowledge of fragrance chemistry to produce a perfume that matched those descriptions.
Now a company is trying to sell it as a perfume so we can all experience the unique smell for ourselves. Now what does space smell like? A mix of fireworks, steak and raspberries. Nice! Eugh!
I think I will stick to my normal perfume!
Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.
It’s July 1st today which is officially National Joke Day! Joke Day is not just a day for you to prove to everyone how funny you are. It is the perfect day for you to share laughs and to put a smile on people’s faces, including your own. Whether you prefer to share jokes or you like to listen to them, this is a day that is all about smiling, laughing, and having fun, and who wouldn’t want to be a part of a day like this?
They say that laughter is the best medicine, and a lot of people would agree with this! I have done a little bit of research and I have found that laughing is good for you!
Laughter can get rid of pain, make your mood happier, and strengthen the cells in your body. Also, mams and dads might be interested to know that laughter can burn calories! I don’t think that lying on the settee reading a joke book is healthier than our daily mile or our Trim Trail, but apparently you can burn 40 calories if you laugh for 10 minutes.
I have had some help from Mr Bennett, Mrs Peacock and Miss Middleton in coming up with some jokes. Now, I am certain you are not going to be losing 40 calories reading these jokes…..maybe 4…if that! Ok, this is what we came up with!! It was one of our funnier management meetings!!
This morning I saw my neighbour talking to her cat, it was obvious that she thought the cat understood her. I came home and told the dog….we laughed a lot!!
Did you hear about the man who invented the knock knock joke? He won a no bell prize!!
I’ve just bought a new car and it’s fantastic! It’s made out of spaghetti. My sister wouldn’t believe her until I drove pasta.
What do you call a cheese that’s not yours? Nacho cheese!!
How do you stop an astronaut’s baby from crying? You rocket!
Have a witty Wednesday.
Mrs Cunningham ….. oh and our 2nd lockdown family birthday. Happy Birthday Mr C.
Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.
Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.
What a windy weekend! Sam doesn’t like windy weather. He spent the day sitting at the back door trying to summon up his courage to go out, then when there was a drop in the wind he ventured out only to run straight back in, with a bushy tail.
Teachers don’t like windy weather either. I was thinking about windy days at school and the daft things you all get up to in the yard, just because of the wind. Like all screaming together when there is a big gust. Or putting coats and jumpers over your heads to act as parachutes.Or hoods on only, like Batman. Throwing handfuls of leaves into the air only to go into someone’s face. Shouting way louder because you think your friends can’t hear you talking. Squinting your eyes to see better. Or kicking the ball up to see if it gets blown onto the roof then immediately regretting it. Or just pretending you’ve been blown over and rolling around the ground until a teacher asks you to get up.
Then when you all come back into school with messy hair and red cheeks and way more energy than you went out with, I have a long list of children I need to speak to…….all because of windy weather behaviour!
So let’s hope for the sake of your mams and dads, that we have a calm and mellow Monday.
Mrs Cunningham
