On Tuesday 22nd October, Year 3 were visited by ‘The Stone Age Guy’ and we found out more about life in this period. We handled some artefacts and discussed their uses and we had a try at drawing our own animals using charcoal. We all found the session very interesting.
The children in Year 5 and 6 had an exciting afternoon with players from the Newcastle Eagles basketball team taking part in their ‘Hoops4Health’ Roadshow. We did some physical exercise, learned about hydration, eating from different food groups and the importance of a healthy mind. We all had a great afternoon and learned lots about keeping healthy as well as having lots of fun!
We attended a RAP event which was about reducing accidents at play. Within this afternoon there were workshops about electricity safety, water safety (RNLI), road safety, Nexus and fire safety. We learned a lot and had great fun.
On 26th September, we celebrated European Day of Languages. We talked about the importance of learning other languages and how we make others feel welcome, even if they speak languages other than English. We then held a poster competition linked to theme of ‘Languages for peace’. Our entries were amazing and it was really hard to select the winners.
Here are the winners from each of our classes . . .
Year 4 children had a great afternoon playing football at Boldon School. Everyone showed fantastic team spirit and tried their best. We didn’t win any medals but got a certificate for our efforts.

Science Council have been using dog biscuits to explore vertebrates and recreate skeletons of various animals. It was good fun thinking about bone size and positioning using such a creative resource. Year 5 and 6 even studied x rays and tried some trickier vertebrates like frogs and lizards.
