On Wednesday 18th July the children in Mrs Jewitt’s class took part in a brilliant orienteering session ran by Andy. They had to work together to solve lots of different problems. Please do take the time to look through the photos and ask your child to explain what is going on in them!!!
On Tuesday 5th and 12th of June 2018, Year 3 took part in Tumbles and Grumbles with Caroline. She was in school to teach us how to stay safe in school and out of school. She also taught us what to do in an emergency.
One of the things she taught us how to do was CPR on dummies. You only perform CPR when a person is unconscious and not breathing. We did 30 beats to the heart and 2 rescue breaths to the mouth. If they don’t wake up, then you keep repeating it until an ambulance comes.
Next she told us how to keep a cut clean. First you check to make sure if it’s safe to help, then you clean the cut and put pressure on with a cloth or bandage.
Another thing we learnt about was burns. If you get burnt, you should run your burn under cold water for 10 minutes and then wrap it in cling-film to stop it getting infected.
My favourite part was when we did an experiment to see how our skin would react to a burn. To show this we put some Mentos (heat source) in a bottle of Coke (limb), then it exploded and it went KABOOM! – I loved that part!

Sports Day
Just to remind you of the start times for Sports Day this Friday 6th July. Please note that this has been posted in our newsletter each week, since 24th May.
Reception/Year1/Year 2 – 9:30am
Years 3 – 6 – 1:30pm
Access
Anyone coming to watch and cheer the children on should enter the school field through the double gates at the bottom of the main drive. A member of staff will be supervising this gate and everyone should leave this way too after the morning event.
Afternoon Event
At the end of the afternoon event, the children will return into school to return their chairs and collect their belongings. They will then be dismissed through the normal doors, providing there is an adult waiting to collect them. If you then walk round to the infant yard, younger siblings will be handed out to you from there. Where there is no adult to collect a child early, we will obviously keep them in school until the bell goes.
Photographs
Please remember that any photos taken are for your own personal use and MUST NOT be uploaded onto any social media sites. This is for the safety of some of our children. We very much appreciate your support on this matter.
We look forward to seeing you there and fingers (and everything else) crossed for the weather!
Please remember to check the school website – ashleyprimary.co.uk regularly for updates and news. Newsletters are uploaded every Friday and have important dates etc on the first page.
On Friday 22nd June the children from Year 3 embarked on a trip to Arbeia Roman Fort in South Shields.
We walked to Tyne Dock Metro Station and rode the Metro to South Shields where we walked to the museum.
At the museum the children were able to explore the ruins with their groups. They had a tour led by Lesley, an expert, around the museum and investigated some of the artifacts inside and outside of the museum. Lesley was wearing an amazing pair of red cowboy boots which really grabbed the attention of some of the children.
The behaviour of the whole year group was exemplary and all accompanying staff had a lovely, hot and sunny day with them.
Don’t miss the South Tyneside Festival Summer Parade on Saturday 30 June, which this year has an amazing theme all based around the tales of Monsters, Myths and Magic. The Parade will leave South Shields Town Hall at 1pm and makes its way through the town centre to Bents Park where there will be an action packed afternoon of free family fun entertainment to enjoy. Find out more about this event (the biggest carnival of its kind in the North East), along with the free Kids Fun-Fest at the Seafront Amphitheatre during the school holidays, at www.southtynesidefestival.co.u
Over the past two weeks the children in Year 3 have been learning essential emergency skills. They have found out about the body, how to make a dangerous situation safe, what to do in an emergency, how to call 999, how to deal with burns and bleeds, what happens to your skin when you have a burn and CPR. The children were also taught how what to do if someone was conscious or unconscious. The children responded really positively and were very proud of their new skills.
This week the children in Year 3 have been very lucky to receive some training from the team at Tumbles and Grumbles.
The children learned how to react in an emergency situation and were taught the ‘High Five’ rules:
Please do do go over these rules with your child and also help them to learn their postcode just in case an emergency situation in the home should arise.

You could also see if they can remember how to put someone in the recovery position.
We also looked at how to deal with bleeds and put bandages on, how the heart works and about bones!
Elen has been busy making mosaics to link in with our current History topic, The Romans. I think you’ll agree that it’s brilliant.
She has confirmed that it is in fact a mosaic of a boot.
Check out the children in Mrs Jewitt’s class and their recorder skills!
