What a fantastic fieldwork visit we had today! First, we planned our route and then went on a walk exploring the land use around the River Tyne on the Quayside. @GrasmereAcademy @MissSutton4

[Grasmere Badgers & Mrs Waters @GABadgers]

The day Badgers met @SirStinkySocks! What a fabulous afternoon, we definitely all made magic. If you ever get the chance to see ‘The Museum of Marvellous Things’ with Kristina, grab it, we definitely recommend the experience. Thank you to @NorthTyneSLS for organising 📚❤️📚

What a day we have had exploring @SegedunumFort A brilliant way to kick off our new project! @GrasmereAcademy

[Mrs N Thursby @nwhelanGA]

What a lovely way to start the day! We always love our visits to Killingworth Library. The children were particularly excited to explore our very own @GABadgers books! They were SO impressed. @NorthTyneLibs @GrasmereAcademy 📚🌟

Today we finished our Egyptian Death Masks! We have had the best time making them and the children have done a brilliant job. We have absolutely loved exploring the Ancient Egyptians this term! @GrasmereAcademy

[Mrs N Thursby @nwhelanGA]

We absolutely loved our Zoom today with @emmac2603 We are currently reading Secrets of a Sun King and loving it! My class have already asked if we can read the new one straight after! We were all so inspired to hear Emma talk about her love for books and reading! @AuthorsAloudUK

[Mrs N Thursby @nwhelanGA]

“Miss, please can you help me choose. I can’t decide and I really want to read them all!” said a once reluctant reader as he showed me 4 books! This made my heart happy ☺️❤️📚@NorthTyneLibs @GrasmereAcademy @NTynesideTRG

[Mrs N Thursby @nwhelanGA]

We loved our trip to the library yesterday! It is always lovely to see the children so excited when surrounded by so much choice📚💜 @NorthTyneLibs @GrasmereAcademy

@emmac2603 It was so much fun and has left us very excited to find out more about Ancient Egypt. We are loving the book so far! X

[Mrs N Thursby @nwhelanGA]

Today was our project launch and it was magical!We spent the day cracking hieroglyphic codes,making Egyptian bread, mummifying fruit and being wrapped up like a mummy before settling down to read our new class book ‘Secrets of a Sun King’ by the brilliant @emmac2603 What a day!😊

We have created some fantastic artwork inspired by Martin Impey’s work in ‘Where Once We Stood’. The children loved exploring watercolour techniques. @Martin_Impey @GrasmereAcademy

[Mrs N Thursby @nwhelanGA]

A very successful literacy hook lesson this morning! The children loved following the footprints left by an astronaut that led to a brilliant new book,‘Where Once We Stood’. It was lovely seeing so many excited faces! I can’t wait to get stuck into our new genre!@GrasmereAcademy

[Mrs N Thursby @nwhelanGA]

Year 4/5 have been learning about the different colour of poppies and what they represent. They created these lovely circle books to summarise their findings and to go alongside our poppies. #RemembranceDay @GrasmereAcademy @NTynesideTRG

@Eve_Morton17 @GABadgers @GrasmereAcademy @PieCorbett They have absolutely loved exploring poetry, @Eve_Morton17 ⭐️

[Mrs N Thursby @nwhelanGA]

Today we wrote a class poem about Remembrance Day. The children were proud of their poem and it led to some brilliant discussions. @GrasmereAcademy #RemembranceDay
