Today, a group of 36 children from year 4 attended a rugby festival at Boldon school. We competed against West Boldon and Forest View. Unfortunately, we didn’t win, but we all tried very hard and we all really enjoyed ourselves.
25 Year 5 children went to a Tag Rugby Festival at Monkton Academy on Wednesday 26th June. We took part in several matches and enjoyed participating against other schools. The weather was beautiful and the children represented the school excellently.
Some year 6 cooked today using salmon as their main ingredient as part of their Design and Technology project. The children researched and found recipes such as pomegranate salmon, teriyaki salmon, salmon burgers and salmon pasta dishes. They developed skills of following steps in a recipe, grating, peeling, chopping, dicing, boiling, marinating, cooking salmon and presenting their dishes. Other pupils from the other two classes joined 6GA to taste the dishes with some very positive comments and empty plates left at the end of the afternoon.
Year 4 have been studying habitats and this is a visit that has been rearranged from earlier in the year. We looked at different animal’s habitats then completed an experiment to find out if a woodlouse prefers their habitat to be light and dry, light and damp, dark and dry or dark and damp. We really enjoyed this experience.

The children enjoyed a session with Mr O during the day.
The whole school enjoyed a fabulous assembly led by Mr. O, the drumming teacher. He talked about the drums he had brought with him and explained where they came from. He taught everyone to chant a rhythm, stamping their feet to certain beats. Some lucky children were also chosen to play the drums, while everyone else counted the rhythm. We all had a great time.
Science Council met as normal this Monday but with an extra special treat as we had Katie from Science Buddies visiting. She is so impressed by our Science Council that she brought in some of her amazing animals to show us – we loved meeting Einstein, the African giant snail and even made some sweet smelling bath bombs too. Thank you Katie!
Year 6 enjoyed their final Sports Day at Biddick Hall Junior School.
