F1 have enjoyed learning all about Africa today. We had lots of fun tasting the orange cake and juice we made yesterday, using African instruments, doing African dancing and African colouring. Thank you to all the parents that supported us by sending their child dressed up, everyone looked amazing.

The children in my Reading group have been working so hard with their reading fluency and comprehension and together have read over 1,250,000 words!
Today we had a fruit party to celebrate and the children had a great time.
Weāre already working towards our next target of 1,500,000 and planning our next reward.

Today, some children made their boats to help the gingerbread man cross the river! Some children wanted to add safety features so the fox could not get to him! They selected their own resources and used all their own ideas. It was lovely to hear them communicating and extending their ideas together. We are engineers!
At XP Gateshead, we believe that every child can achieve extraordinary things ā and every adult in the building plays a part in making that happen.

We have had a great day today, baking orange cake and making our own orange juice! We even had a special visit from Nana Bubb this morning, as our expedition expert, to help us make the cake. We are so excited to taste them tomorrow for our African celebration day.

Today, we were so pleased to welcome volunteers from Amazon into our school for our first Young Readers event.
The volunteers shared a quiz and a story with the children and then challenged them the create their very own Superhero.
Everyone was so engaged in the task, as paper and tape were turned into capes and masks! It was great to hear how imaginative the children were , when coming up with their superhero names and super powers.
This was followed by a visit to our magical book room, where children were able to select a book of their choice to take home. Everyone was so excited and couldn’t wait to get started reading their book – so that’s just what we did – with a biscuit of course.
A huge ‘Thank You’ goes to all the Amazon volunteers, who delivered their workshops with real pizazz, and another ‘Thank you’ goes to the National Literacy Trust’s Young Readers Programme and Vicki, who made it all happen.
This is the first of three event that we are so lucky to be able to share with Year 3 and 4 this summer. We can’t wait for the next one in a few weeks.
