Drum roll pleeeease…🥁… Our final set of Star Swimmers! You should all be SO proud of yourselves, Year 3! You have conquered fears, challenged yourselves, made so much progress and simply had FUN!🤩🏊🏼‍♀️🏊🏻 Mrs Blair @simonsideschool

Y3 are studying the artist Grahame Baker-Smith as part of our work on “Leon and the Place Between”, they loved sketching and exploring the finer details of his work. This will help them to create their own pieces using his unique style! Miss Beck @simonsideschool

Today, Year 3 became Royal Scribes as we brought together history and maths by learning about early maths during Ancient Egypt and translating hieroglyphic fractions!📜✏️🧠💭@simonsideschool

Year 3HB grabbed a biscuit🍪, grabbed a drink☕️ and grabbed a book📚 as part of our Reading Cafe! It was so lovely to see the children simply enjoying reading and talking about books with their friends and family. The true magic of reading filled the room!✨ @simonsideschool

We are taking part in the Uk’s biggest #walking #wheeling #scooting and #cycling to school challenge. Encourage your child to take part on as many days as possible between 20- 31 March. #BigWalkandWheel @simonsideschool South Tyneside School Sport Network @Sustrans

Proud as punch! On separate occasions, two members of the public commented on how amazing the children’s behaviour was! SUPER job Year 3!🤩🐚🌊

Y3 @simonsideschool are learning about plants in science. Today we discovered that plants and trees disperse their seeds in different ways. 🌳🌸🍃 #science #seeddispersal #plants Miss Beck Mrs Blair

We can’t praise our year sixes enough for their amazing attitude this week. ⭐️WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU ALL ⭐️ and how amazing do they look in their leavers hoodies. Mrs Wright Mr Howard Mrs Allsopp @simonsideschool

Another faaaabulous rockstar performance from our Rocksteady bands last month. It is utterly amazing to see how much progress the children have all made since their last concert. We are SO proud of you all!🎸🎤🥁🎹👏🏻@simonsideschool Rocksteady Music School

Throwback to when three of our Year 3s spent the morning at the Town Hall learning all about democracy. They got to vote for the next leader of ‘Starryland’ in a secret poll. They loved telling the rest of the class all about it and were fab role models for @simonsideschool!✏️🗳️

When I say that Year 3 LOVED learning about Roman numerals, that would be an understatement! We began by matching Roman numerals, digits and words. After, we represented them using straws. Finally, we drew our own chalk clocks in teams!⏰@simonsideschool

This half term, Year 3 have been researching, designing and making pneumatic toys based on a chosen character or animal. Here’s one example of a class full of amazing toys fit for purpose!🤩🧑🏻‍🎨🎈🐍 @simonsideschool

Year 3HB mixed maths and P.E! After recapping the important skills needed when orienteering, teams set off to find quantities of objects of varying colours and tallied these in a table. They then transferred their data on to practical bar charts using chalk!📊☀️@simonsideschool

As part of National School Sports Week, Year 3 enjoyed participating in a carousel of Teach Active activities which helped them to consolidate several different maths skills in a variety of fun ways!⏰➕💷🪙📏📊Mrs Wright Simonside Primary #TeachActiveMaths

Our Simonside Primary dance crew absolutely SMASHED their performance at the South Tyneside Dance Festival out of the park!💃🏻🎂🕺🏼 Miss Quinn and I are unbelievably proud of you all (but I think you all know that from our whoops and cheers in the wings!🤣🗯️) You are all STARS!🤩

Look ‘ewe’ I bumped into… Educa-Shaun!🐑🩵 Simonside Primary @shaunonthetyne #ShaunTheSheep #ShaunOnTheTyne

Today felt like a really good day to launch South Tyneside’s FIRST EVER School Streets!! We joined families at Simonside Primary to throw a street party complete with breakfast, a smoothie bike, and traffic-free roads for children to PLAY in! And boy, it did not disappoint.

Combining science and maths today with Year 2 Simonside Primary We looked at how many different deciduous and evergreen trees were growing in their school grounds and kept a tally. Then made some graphs to show our results. 🍁🌲 #science #mathsoutdoors

Eeeeeek! Look what’s arrived! To magpie Mrs Pegman’s simile, I’m absolutely ’BUZZING like a fridge’ at our piano🎹🤩Simonside Primary

Y2 Simonside Primary have been producing pictograms this week. They counted how many different types of deciduous and evergreen trees there are in the school grounds. We decided there wouldn’t be many flowers in winter but found 4 daisies too! 🌳🌲🌺 #maths Miss Beck
