Today we saw creativity at its best. In amongst the heaps of snow grew snow dragons, icicle sculptures, forts, volcanoes, The Angel of the North, snow tunnels, Buckingham Palace, snow crocodiles, the list is endless!

As part of out Trains, Planes and Automobiles topic this term Year 3 and 4 visited 'The Locomotion Museum' in Shildon.

We had a great time making a rail transport timeline, looking at engines and carriages from early railways to the present day and even climbing aboard the footplate of a steam locomotive!

To support our Trains, Planes and Automobiles topic work this term, Year 3 and Year 4 visited the Locomotion Railway Museum in Shildon, County Durham. Read on to find out more about our trip and view some more digital photographs of the day's activities.

On Tuesday 10th March Year Four went to The Sage, Gateshead. We took part in 'The Gateshead Schools Dance Festival'. This year the theme was dances around the world and through the ages.

We chose rock and roll from America in 1959. We danced to 'Rock around the Clock' by Bill Haley and The Comets.

Here we are performing at 'The Sage' and again in front of the whole school!

We have been designing our own wrapping paper in Year Four. We used publisher to select some images and then created a repeating pattern using two or three images.

We looked at a selection of types of wrapping paper. For example : Birthday, Christmas, Halloween and Christening. Here are some of our designs:-

James found some great dinosaur images for his birthday wrapping paper design.

Pippa used animal images to design her birthday wrapping paper.

 Luke found these Christmas images on Clip Art and used them in his repeating pattern.

 Emily decided to use horizontal lines for her repeating pattern using three Christmas images.
