Chillingham Road Primary School

This year, we have been working in collaboration with the Baltic on a project called ‘Birds, Bees, Bikes and Trees’. The project aims to help communities connect with nature and to think about climate change and sustainability. All children in Years 1 to 6 got to work with artist Sofia Barton on a series of creative workshops. Sofia has taken the drawings and ideas from these workshops and created a series of murals for our school playground. The murals were installed yesterday and we are sure you will agree that they look amazing! Thank you Sofia and the Baltic team for all your work on this project. A big thank you also to Miss Pyle who has co-ordinated the project.

Happy Friday!

Beautiful nature inspired collages using mixed resources created by Year 1.

Year 2 have done a fantastic job developing their sewing skills. The felt pouches they have made are brilliant. Well done Year 2!

Year 3 have been doing some data handling. They enjoyed coming up with a question, collecting data and producing pictograms.

Our choir treated everyone to another wonderful performance today with stunning views of the Tyne. Thank you to the Cycle a hub for hosting us.

Playgroup love visiting the pond in our front garden and this week they are also enjoying sensory and imaginative play in their indoor pond!

Year 6 are working on their Design and Technology project for this half term - ‘Come Dine With Me’. In groups, they have planned and costed a three course meal. Today, they went to Asda to buy their ingredients. Now they are ready to get their sleeves rolled up and to get cooking!

We have finished Physical Week with shadow boxing. Our Key Stage 1 children really enjoyed having a try at the sport.

A fantastic time was had by all on Tuesday when Year 1 went to the Glasshouse to be part of the Big Sing for Mini Singers. It was great to join voices with singers from other schools and we even enjoyed learning some dance moves!
