Kidsafe Year 6

1st December 2021S Gill

Kidsafe is continuing to run in Year 6 on a Monday afternoon and we have been covering a lot about cyberbullying and keeping ourselves safe online. What to do if you need to talk to someone about an incident online or if you find something you shouldn’t. Could parents familiarise themselves with what their children are doing online and what they have access to. Ensure your children’s privacy settings are secure to ensure their safety. Please continue to monitor what your children are doing on all their electronic devices.

Y2 Moon Mission with First Lego League

7th June 2019Natalie Jewitt

Over the past few months six super students from Year 2 have been working really hard as part of their commitment to the First Lego League.

Yesterday saw the culmination of their work when they presented to judges at The Word in South Shields.

FIRST LEGO League challenges kids to think like scientists and engineers. During the INTO ORBIT season, teams will choose and solve a real-world problem in the Project. They will also build, test, and program an autonomous robot using LEGO® MINDSTORMS® technology to solve a set of missions in the Robot Game. Throughout their experience, teams will operate under the FIRST signature set of Core Values, celebrating discovery, teamwork, and Gracious Professionalism®

Thank you to the children, our Computing Link Governor Mr Stenburge and of course all of the staff at Openzone @ The Word.

Year 5 Kidsafe

By Natalie Jewitt4th June 2018

Kidsafe Week 1 – Year 5 JC and JS 

Our year 5 children began their 5 week Kidsafe course today with a focus on understanding Trust and ‘Yukky Feelings‘.

It can be difficult to explain or verbalise how we feel sometimes, especially if those feelings aren’t good.

Sadness, fear and worry can be really debilitating emotions, but for those who perhaps struggle with the vocabulary to explain exactly how they feel, it’s even more of an issue. How do you tell someone you don’t feel right, when you aren’t sure how to describe or even understand the feeling or emotion?

Kidsafe has a fantastic way of providing children with the confidence and vocabulary to do just that: our year 5 children have been discussing those emotions that can be classified as ‘Yukky’ – that moment when your tummy starts to churn and your heart beats a little faster and you know something just doesn’t feel right – Yukky Feelings.

Your child has been given a letter explaining a little more about today’s session; if they wish to discuss this with you further, do encourage it – it means they’ve understood the concept of talking with a ‘Trusted Grown-Up’!

If you have any questions about any of the Kidsafe sessions, do get in touch. Alternatively, visit the Kidsafe website here (or click on KS below!).

The sessions are being led by Mrs. Jewitt, Mrs Gill and Mr Dobson – 3 of our accredited Kidsafe Tutors here at Ashley Primary, and of course, KS the Kidsafe Mascot.

We are all looking forward to next week’s session!

Well done children, great first week! 🙂

Y2 Gardening Club

17th May 2018K Lawson

This week we planted carrots and peas! Our potatoes have also started to grow. After that, we gave everything a good drink of water.

On Wednesday after school, an exciting discovery was made by Miss Evans… a Pied Wagtail bird has decided one of our watering cans is the perfect place to make a home. Take a look at our visitor sitting on the roof (watching us) and then hopping back to her eggs. Now we’ve had a sneak peak, I think we’ll leave her in peace and hopefully we’ll hear the chirp of hungry chicks soon!

And… here’s the video (she’s on the shed roof):

Pied Wagtail

See you next week!

First Lego League Jr – Ashley Waste Warriors

16th June 2016Natalie Jewitt

What a busy time the year 2 Waste Warriors have had!

In preparation for their presentation at the Open Zone, the team have been researching, designing, and of course building! They’ve also decided on their amazing team name – Ashley Waste Warriors! We love it!

Last week, the year group were visited by Wendy from Groundworks, who answered lots of questions about local waste management, in particular how we can reduce, reuse and recycle more effectively. Wendy gave us some great ideas for reusing waste in our Outdoor Classroom! An important message she left with us was, ‘if in doubt, leave it out!’ Recycling can become very costly if we don’t do it properly, so if you’re not sure, leave it out and check for next time!

Our caretaker, Mrs Ovington, showed us how she manages our school waste, she explained how it is collected, where it is taken in the school, and where it goes afterwards.

On Wednesday the team visited Middlefields Recycling Village where they met with Bill McGill. He was great and the children had a brilliant time learning all about waste management in the area, recycling, reusing and how to turn waste into energy. We also visited the on site shop where discarded items that can be reused are rescued, cleaned and checked, then sold at very reasonable prices. The team did try to convince Miss Davison and I to buy them a table top football game to bring back to school, unfortunately we were returning on foot so had to leave it there for someone else, (much to their disappointment!)

The team have also been planning their ‘Show Me’ poster for the presentation and have begun the big build… It is very exciting to see everything come together! 🙂

Things are certainly coming along nicely and the children loved meeting Wendy and Bill, many thanks to our very own Mrs Ovington, Groundworks and South Tyneside Council!

Keep it up team, Miss Davison and I are very proud! 🙂

Fantastic note taking team!

We learned all about the different skips…

We asked lots of questions…

Bill told us all about different types of waste…

Great note taking Catriona!

We watched a full skip being loaded onto a truck…

Bill told us where it would be going…

We found out about the different types of waste we can recycle ourselves…

Mason asked some fantastic questions!

Now we know where all of those helium balloon canisters go after our parties!

You can even take clothes to Middlefields to be reused

This is where we can recycle small electrical appliances

TVs can even be recycled too!

This is the shop!

So many pieces of rubbish can actually still be very useful!

Garden waste is turned into compost, you can buy some at the shop on site…

It’s very good quality!

Artwork made with plastic bottle tops!

Pleeease Miss Sanderson and Miss Davison! Pleease can we buy this!?

Seeing this coal train finished the trip off nicely 🙂

Well done team, we are so proud of you!
