Mrs Souter

Our fantastic Year 6 children received their leavers hoodies today after a week of hard work and determination. We are so proud of you all 🌟 @simonsideschool @MrsAllsopp1 @MrsPegman @Mrs_Souter @realmrslttle

Just a few examples of our double page spreads from our art lesson. We were researching Antony Gormley and discussing our feelings about his sculptures. @simonsideschool

Our wonderful drama club wowed everyone with their outstanding performance of Cinderella last week. We are so very proud of each and every one of you! @simonsideschool Thanks so much Kelly Ogden for being the best drama teacher there is!

@thepoisondwarf @simonsideschool @MrsPegman @MissTQuinn Ooh I haven’t been to that aquarium, I love them. Can’t wait to hear all about it!

Here are just a few of my favourite digital art pieces created by year 4. I definitely think we have some future graphic designers amongst us! @simonsideschool @MrsPegman

Mathematics. This interesting array is called a Magic Hexagon. Can you figure out why? (It appears to have been discovered in 1895.) Source: tinyurl.com/ycclwmp5

@pickover @MrsPegman for some of ours?

Mathematics, pattern, numbers. Can you find the mistake? Did you use any particular strategy to find it? Are you happy with how quickly you found it?

@MrsBezoari @MrsWrig95111160 for your year 6’s?

Wow, this was an absolute winner today! Juicy reasoning question. 🙌100% engaged, rich discussions and amazing reasoning! (I found it online)

This morning in English, we adapted a @TeachActive style lesson to help with our tenses. Then, we sorted quotes from Matilda. We had to choose which character we thought they were about and how the author created feelings of dislike or sympathy. @simonsideschool

This afternoon, we investigated how the human digestive system works. It was disgusting but fun and the children were able to explain how the different parts of the body help to digest food. @simonsideschool

@nowpressplay Well, it was a bit of a mixed bag but Sparta seemed to come out on top due to the way they treated women more fairly. There were a lot of children who chose neither!

We're curious to know what @Mrs_Souter's pupils chose! 💭

For history, we are learning about Ancient Greece. For our Athens vs Sparta lesson we used @nowpressplay to learn about the different city states. @simonsideschool The children then had to decide which they would choose to live in and why.

On Friday the children had a brilliant morning designing their own theatre with @Ryder1953. They worked amazingly in their groups and thought of some ingenious ideas. There may be some future architects in year 4! @MrsPegman @simonsideschool

@MrsBlair17 @simonsideschool So proud of our year 4’s!

Beautiful art work completed by year 4! This perfectly illustrates the process of art that we teach at Simonside. The children research, experiment and create. This ensures that their pieces are both individual and draws on influences from artists. @simonsideschool

Our choir continued the merriment by singing loud for all to hear at our local @Tesco! They were absolute SUPERSTARS and we are so incredibly proud of them!🎄🎶☃️🌟 @Mrs_Souter @simonsideschool

Popped into @simonsideschool to present Aurora with a certificate & present for winning my Christmas card comp. Aurora came top of more than 600 entries. There's 5,000 cards going out across the constituency,to friends & colleagues nationwide. Well done Aurora & Thanks Mrs Scott

@MrsMason_74 @simonsideschool @MrRHoward @MrsWrig95111160 I’m not even shocked, she’s always been a super ⭐️! You will do amazing things I’m sure!

⭐️Big congratulations to this young lady. Over the last two weeks we’ve been working hard on reciting ALL of our times tables AND this young lady has now completed ALL of them🎉She’s now working on rapid fire questions @simonsideschool @MrRHoward @MrsWrig95111160 Enjoy your prize

In history, we created double page information texts to answer the question: What buildings did the Romans build and for what purposes? @simonsideschool @MrsPegman

Before half term, Year 4 studied Gaudi and his artwork with @MrsPegman. They used this as inspiration to design their own nature inspired clay pot. Last week they were able to bring their designs to life and have really out-done themselves.We are so proud Year 4! @simonsideschool
