In 8T, we have started the new year learning about food and digestion in Science. Students did amazing matching flashcards to the correct organs in our digestive systems and even made their own fabric model of our digestive system!
In RRS this week, students in 8T practised making their own cup of tea and made their own placemats ready for the upcoming Macmillan coffee morning in school. Students enjoyed their cup of tea with a biscuit whilst watching Newsround together as as group.

CBBC and Blue Peter have hooked up with Quentin Blake as the designer of the new Blue Peter Reading Badge. (Open to all pupils up to the age of 15 years!)
You can apply for this badge by visiting the attached link and downloading the application form. Applying for the badge is easy!
All you have to do is:
1.Tell them about a book you have read and what you think about it. Maybe you liked the characters, or perhaps you enjoyed going on exciting adventures in faraway places.
2.Upload your illustration of a character or a scene from the story. This could be a drawing, painting or even digital artwork.
3.Let them know what other books and authors you have enjoyed reading and why. We can’t wait to see who applies and receives their very own badge.
And of course we would also love to see your entries too, so dont forget to bring in your illustrations for your teachers and class mates to see also!
Happy Reading!!

This week staff from Amazon came to visit pupils at The Oaks school. As well as staff from Amazon, their mascot ‘Peccy’ was a firm hit with the pupils. The staff presented to all pupils where they gave an overview of what the different strands to the business are, as well going into more detail about the local distribution centre at Durham. Sarah, who works at the centre, who has additional needs, gave a moving account of how she finds working there. It was a great event; pupils had the opportunity to ask questions and were commended by the Amazon staff for their mature and probing responses.
