Look at what Hanna’s class have been doing this week!

Wow! What an amazing first week Hanna’s class have had. It has been lovely welcoming the children back to school. We are so proud at how well the children have settled in and it is great to see them enjoying their new school rotuine. We have had lots of fun exploring our new classroom. Bubbles are a favourite of ours, as you can see in our beautiful photos. This week the children have been enjoying our focus stories, Brown Bear and Stop Elephant Stop! We love circle time with the parachute and rope. The children also enjoy spending time outside practising their physical and gross motor skills. We look forward to a wonderful year.

When you enter the main building, you are greeted by a beautiful large fish tank and an overwhelming sense of calm and quietness. That is not to say incidents don’t happen, they do, but the staff have a very calm manner of dealing with things.

Moving through the school and its grounds you see that Discovery Special Academy and the Trust recognise the uniqueness of every child and promotes inclusion through their holistic approach. Having an holistic approach to ensure the children made progress socially and emotionally as well as academically was evident and underpinned every decision the school leaders and staff made.

Staff across school are passionate about supporting all children and everything they do places the children firmly at the centre. Staff work as a close team and feel trusted to work for the good of all. They are innovative in their approach to supporting the needs of children. The clear systems and processes evidenced in their daily day-to-day practice make school a calm place to learn and work.

Parents are extremely supportive and appreciative of the work of the school. One parent said of the staff ‘It’s like having another parent for my child’. Another said, ‘Everything I need is here from the staff because through their support they know the children better than we do’. Through the work of the Pastoral Team the school is keen to continue to encourage parents to play a part in school life.

Look at what Sophie’s class have been doing this Week!

This half term, saw our performance of We Will Rock You at the Arc in Stockton. The children were so well engaged and sang their hearts out to the audience over four performances. We are so incredibly proud of them!

Earlier in the term, we visited Middlesbrough Lending Library where we had the opportunity to explore the library and look at a range of different books before choosing books to bring back to school. The children were so well behaved and thoroughly enjoyed their visit which fostered our love of books!

This week we are looking forward to our first ever Discovery Disco and Summer Fair. The children are busy working away at products to sell and games for us all to play. We look forward to seeing you on Friday.

Look at what Grace’s class have been doing this Week!

We have had a very busy week in Year 7! After months of practice and rehearsals we finally got to perform We Will Rock You for our friends and families. On Tuesday and Wednesday, along with choirs and performers from all TVED schools, we visited the Arc Theatre, Stockton. We spent both mornings completing final rehearsals then it was show time! As a choir, we preformed We are the Champions, We Will Rock You, Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, Headlong and I Want It All. It was amazing to perform in a theatre with the lights, music and even fog machines!

Reviews

When you enter the main building, you are greeted by a beautiful large fish tank and an overwhelming sense of calm and quietness. That is not to say incidents don’t happen, they do, but the staff have a very calm manner of dealing with things.

Moving through the school and its grounds you see that Discovery Special Academy and the Trust recognise the uniqueness of every child and promotes inclusion through their holistic approach. Having an holistic approach to ensure the children made progress socially and emotionally as well as academically was evident and underpinned every decision the school leaders and staff made.

Staff across school are passionate about supporting all children and everything they do places the children firmly at the centre. Staff work as a close team and feel trusted to work for the good of all. They are innovative in their approach to supporting the needs of children. The clear systems and processes evidenced in their daily day-to-day practice make school a calm place to learn and work.

Parents are extremely supportive and appreciative of the work of the school. One parent said of the staff ‘It’s like having another parent for my child’. Another said, ‘Everything I need is here from the staff because through their support they know the children better than we do’. Through the work of the Pastoral Team the school is keen to continue to encourage parents to play a part in school life.

Look at what Kirsty’s class have been doing this week!

Nursery children visited Newham Grange farm, they were all excited for the trip. First, we explored the discovery barn, we saw a sleeping big pig, a pony, baby lambs and guinea pigs called Lily and fudge. The lambs were just as excited to see the children as they were them, we fed them some food and stroked their soft fur. The children’s favourite part of the day was definitely seeing the guinea pigs and rabbits. We then went for a walk around the farm where we saw lots of bigger animals, the children recognised cows, horses, ducks, chickens and lamas. The children had lots of fun listening to the different animal sounds as they explored and enjoyed copying them, it was lovely to see they recognised so many animals.

All the excitement made the children hungry, we had our own room to sit and relax and eat lunch. After lunch the children went to play at the park, playing on the swings, slide and climbing frame.

The farm trip ends our topic this term of animals, the children have enjoyed making animals, completing animal themed maths & literacy activities and animal yoga.

Reviews

When you enter the main building, you are greeted by a beautiful large fish tank and an overwhelming sense of calm and quietness. That is not to say incidents don’t happen, they do, but the staff have a very calm manner of dealing with things.

Moving through the school and its grounds you see that Discovery Special Academy and the Trust recognise the uniqueness of every child and promotes inclusion through their holistic approach. Having an holistic approach to ensure the children made progress socially and emotionally as well as academically was evident and underpinned every decision the school leaders and staff made.

Staff across school are passionate about supporting all children and everything they do places the children firmly at the centre. Staff work as a close team and feel trusted to work for the good of all. They are innovative in their approach to supporting the needs of children. The clear systems and processes evidenced in their daily day-to-day practice make school a calm place to learn and work.

Parents are extremely supportive and appreciative of the work of the school. One parent said of the staff ‘It’s like having another parent for my child’. Another said, ‘Everything I need is here from the staff because through their support they know the children better than we do’. Through the work of the Pastoral Team the school is keen to continue to encourage parents to play a part in school life.

In literacy this term we have been reading the book ‘The Enormous Turnip’. The children have enjoyed sequencing the story using props and have acted out the story in class. They did a fantastic performance of the story in the whole school assembly. It was amazing!

We have also done a lot of baking this term and we recently baked and decorated cakes for our classroom picnic as part of our mindfulness week.

We enjoyed exploring the nature around us during our walk at natures world as part of walk to school week.

In Music we have enjoyed playing a variety of instruments. We have followed along with familiar songs and rhymes and have explored playing our instruments in a range of different ways.

Look at what Hanna’s class have been doing this week!

Hanna’s class have had a lovely week enjoying lots of outdoor play which they thoroughly enjoy! They love exploring the water tray outside, practising a range of physical and mathematical skills including filling and emptying. We have also done some lovely spring art, decorating sheep for our spring display. As well as this, we have enjoyed a range of mark making activities in dry and wet textures. On Thursday, we participated in our cooking session. This week we made mini pizzas using shortcrust pastry. The children enjoyed helping to cut the pastry into circles, then spread tomato puree and cheese on top. They enjoyed exploring them once cooked. Some of us ate some and some smelt or licked to tops of their pizza which was absolutely amazing!! Well done to all the children in Hanna’s class for your fantastic work this week. We’re all very proud of your achievements.

When you enter the main building, you are greeted by a beautiful large fish tank and an overwhelming sense of calm and quietness. That is not to say incidents don’t happen, they do, but the staff have a very calm manner of dealing with things.

Moving through the school and its grounds you see that Discovery Special Academy and the Trust recognise the uniqueness of every child and promotes inclusion through their holistic approach. Having an holistic approach to ensure the children made progress socially and emotionally as well as academically was evident and underpinned every decision the school leaders and staff made.

Staff across school are passionate about supporting all children and everything they do places the children firmly at the centre. Staff work as a close team and feel trusted to work for the good of all. They are innovative in their approach to supporting the needs of children. The clear systems and processes evidenced in their daily day-to-day practice make school a calm place to learn and work.

Parents are extremely supportive and appreciative of the work of the school. One parent said of the staff ‘It’s like having another parent for my child’. Another said, ‘Everything I need is here from the staff because through their support they know the children better than we do’. Through the work of the Pastoral Team the school is keen to continue to encourage parents to play a part in school life.

Look at what Andy’s Class have been doing this week!

Andy’s class have been looking at a fantastic reading book this week, called Eric.  The main character in the story visits a new town and he goes to lots of wonderful places – the students have been writing about his adventures at some of the places he has visited. In maths, we have been looking at collecting data and presenting in a graph.  We have also just started to revisit place value and larger numbers. We are working with MFC in our additional PE sessions and have been looking at tennis this week. We have also been focusing on art in our wider curriculum, looking at Pop Art and focusing on Andy Warhol and his work.  We have tried to emulate his work and have learned how to use the screen printing technique. We have started looking at monarchy in history and are getting ready for our Coronation celebrations.
