Morning boys and girls, I hope you have all had a lovely few days and enjoyed the sunshine again! It’s amazing how sunshine makes you feel so happy. 😊Mrs Eccleston and I have been very busy at home with our families. Here are some photos and stories about what we have been up to since last week.

I have had lots of fun, we went a huge family walk at the weekend. One we had never done before and walked all the way along the river and ended up in Gatehead! It took a while to walk home 😂 . Zack learned how to skim stones at the river. Sam had to make a lava lamp for his science class so we all enjoyed experimenting with him. We played lots of family games too, Trivia Pursuit, cards and 5 second rule. Everyone is very competitive in our house so 5 second rule didn’t end very well! 😂 I went a long run with Sam although he left me after 10 mins because he said  I was running to slow! Beth, Zack and I grew a rainbow with kitchen roll, coloured pens and water. I think you would all like that experiment. We had our fire on outside with marshmallows lots over the weekend and I made a fish curry for the first time. It was very tasty! I had fun with Zack making a pirate hat, colouring in and creating a shop in his room. We also played a family bingo game with friends over Zoom everyone enjoyed it and there were even prizes to be won!

Mrs Eccleston was very busy too. She did lots of baking,  making shortbread, cookies, meringues, cupcakes and prepared sandwiches to create a surprise afternoon tea that her girls left for their gran. Lots of art work was also completed to say ‘Thank you’ to NHS and key workers and they painted stones and made a chalk design by using tape to mark out 2D shapes then lifted it off to reveal their art! Isla made a marble run but instead of using marbles she used dog biscuits for Rocky to receive a treat. Ruby was practising her Highland dancing and creating bands and bracelets and balls from loom bands. They also had fun splashing each other in puddles on a dog walk. Mrs Eccleston joined her friend in Sydney, Australia live on Zoom and completed the workouts from her gym. They were not easy! They are all looking forward to some more sunshine this week and thinking about what tasty treats they can bake!

We are looking forward to hearing lots about what you have all been up to! Take care and stay safe. 😊

Hello

We hope you are all well. Mrs McCallum and I have been busy and you can look at our photos to see what we have been up to. We look forward to hearing what you have been doing.

We have playing lots of games outside including Charades, Twister and cards. We also set up the tent as a chill out area and we have been taking the dog a walk daily. We also made some delicious Empire biscuits and we have been completing school work, gardening and we had a BBQ. We have enjoyed being out in the sun and having picnics in the garden and reading. We have kept fit by doing Joe Wicks and going for a run.

Mrs McCallum had a busy week and weekend. She was busy helping with school work although it was hard to get back into a routine after the holidays. She made a Spring picture with Beth and Zack and taught Zack all about symmetry when creating a butterfly. She enjoyed relaxing on her hammock she bought when travelling to Thailand 20 years ago! Beth and Zack enjoyed played in the sand pit and they’ve been keeping fit doing the 5.4.3.2.1 challenge. They made Oreo fudge and built Sam’s gaming desk which took all day! Beth made her breakfast in bed which was a lovely treat and Zack learnt to skip. They also had fun having a water fight!

We are really looking forward to hearing from you all and to find out what you got up to during the holidays. Here are some photos of what Mrs Eccleston and I did with our families during the Easter break.

Mrs Eccleston enjoyed the sunshine and was able to go lots of family walks with her dog. She was very busy baking lots of lovely treats, including a special cake for her dogs birthday. They painted, decorated and rolled their Easter eggs and made some outdoor art and arrays using pine cones they found on their family walk. They also had a family art afternoon where they drew some beautiful lighthouses.

I had a very busy holiday too, the weather helped to make it more fun and we were able to go out in our garden most days. We celebrated Sam’s 13th birthday, where we made an obstacle course and had a water balloon fight. We had lots of BBQ’s and fires with toasted marshmallows. We had an Easter Egg hunt and a Family Come Dine With Me night, Beth and I were on dessert and made chocolate pots. We created a large rainbow with paint and feathers to say thank you to all the Keyworkers and NHS. I power hosed my driveway and got very dirty! Beth and Zack built the tent in the garden and made it into their own den.

Lachlan has been very busy learning at home and challenging himself with his maths.

Morning P2/3, we hope you all enjoyed some relaxing time with your family at home over the Easter holidays.  The weather was beautiful and helped to keep us busy during this time. We are really looking forward to hearing all about the different things you have been getting up to. We are missing you all lots.  We will be posting our photos and news with you again on Wednesday about what we have been up to with our families during the holidays.

Stay safe. 😊
