Geography field trip (part 2)

Fri 07 Jun 2024

Again, the sun shone down as Class 11 and 14 looked at the coastal features at Cullercoats before walking to Whitley Bay. It was so beautiful. Everyone had a lovely day!

Year 4 have had a super sports week even with the rain cancelling our sports day! We were lucky enough to take part in a dance workshop with Natasha who taught us a whole dance routine. Everyone joined in and enjoyed adding their own dance moves!
We also tried golf with Mr Elwood which was brilliant. We learnt how to hold the golf club and realised how tricky it was to hit the golf ball. Well done Year 4.
Let’s cross our fingers for some good weather for our sports day in July.

Another wonderful Forest Friday!

Fri 17 May 2024 Miss Ellis

Reception were inspired by Vann Gogh's Patch of Grass artwork and enjoyed experimenting using handful of grass to paint with instead of paintbrushes. We made some fabulous pieces of artwork and created a gallery around the fire circle to showcase our work. Meanwhile, some of us went on a bug hunt through the long grass. We were shocked when Mrs Forster managed to catch a Hoverfly! Others explored the scales comparing weight and capacity. Oh what fun we've had!

Premier League players!
