The Great Fire of Redesdale Primary!
Year 2 have enjoyed learning about The Great Fire of London. We designed wooden doors, wrote a set of instructions and today we watched as our houses burnt down in a matter of minutes! The children were able to talk about their senses in preparation for their next piece of writing.
Year 3 have been studying the Stone Age in their history lessons. They enjoyed a great day at the Rising Sun taking part in a range of workshops to deepen their understanding of life in the Stone Age times. They learnt how to grind wheat, made bread and cooked it on a fire and made shelters!
Year 1 have enjoyed making Peg Doll Characters linked to our Victorian toys In History. The children had a choice of different media to choose from to create their character and many have said they will ask to make more at home.
As part of our Victorian theme in History we visited Beamish Musuem. Our journey started with a trip of the upstairs, downstairs tram which was great fun.

Year 2 made some Great Fire Of London cakes, they were delicious!
Year 2 are learning about the events of the Great Fire of London in 1666. We know that it started in Pudding lane and the reasons why it spread so quickly.
Year 5 enjoyed a visit to Wallsend Customer First Centre to view their art exhibition. Their work on Ancient Greece looked amazing. The Library Service Team also showed them around the library and they all loaned a book.
Further to our trip to Beamish parents and carers were invited into school for our open Victorian afternoon. There was a range of activities for everyone to join in including making a pet doll and spinning toy, taking the interactive Victorian quiz, using the slate boards for maths and writing, dressing up in Victorian outfits, playing with old toys, creating William Morris designs, completing sorting activities and more.
Thank you for all your support.
Year one enjoyed a windy Victorian day at Beamish on Wednesday 13th March 2019. The skies remained dry and the children loved the experiences throughout the day. We started our fun filled day with a lesson at the Victorian school. The children got to take part in writing on blackboards with slates, pin boards for maths and reciting a poem. After that, we went for a stroll down the mine. Despite some children expressing they were scared, they all chose to go descend the mine and loved the
