Year 5 and 6 took part in a ‘Hoops 4 health’ workshop and learned a lot about how to keep our bodies healthy. This included the things we eat and the exercise we do.
To introduce our World War 2 topic we took part in a workshop lead by ‘That History Bloke’. We looked at many real artefacts and found out many real stories from people who lived through World War 2.
Year 4 visited Jarrow Hall to learn about life during the Anglo Saxon era. We looked at: the different animals and their uses, houses and buildings, ailments and their remedies, we made an Anglo Saxon medicine to cure sore eyes, looked at weapons and war clothing and finished with a re -enactment of a battle.
Year 6 looked great in their Christmas jumpers!
Year 3 children visited Boldon School to take part in a tennis festival. We enjoyed completing lots of different tasks and learned some good, new skills.
In geography Year 5 have been studying the Alps. We went to Silksworth Dry Ski Slope to experience an activity that is enjoyed in the Alps.
Year 6 visited the Life Science Centre in Newcastle and had a fabulous day. The day was split into different activities, which included a super fun opportunity to go ice-skating on the outdoor ice-rink. We also participated in a ‘Light’ workshop linked to our science topic currently being studied where we used light sources and lasers to direct the path of light between walls and bouncing off mirrors to light up a disco ball as well as seeing how rainbows are formed. We also visited the Planetarium, watched a show, and looked around the Space Zone and the Wow Zone of the Science Centre. It was a very interesting and exciting trip.
We celebrated European Day of Languages. We talked about the value of learning different languages and about the variety of languages spoken across Europe. We even tried saying hello in lots of different languages.
As part of the day, we held a competition to design a ‘t-shirt’ to promote the occasion. We had such fabulous entries from across the school, but here are the winners – I think you’ll agree that they are pretty wonderful!
On Friday 17th November Year 3 visited the Hindu temple in Newcastle. The children enjoyed hearing about how Hindus worship when they visit the temple. We joined in with Hindu songs and some children chose to dress up in traditional costumes. It was interesting to see the shrine and the puja tray that we had learned about in school.
4CL had a fantastic visit to Sunderland Winter Gardens.
We started off with some drama where we pretended to be parts of the rainforest. We studied the different layers and did a trail around the rainforest area of the museum.
We completed some sketching in the rainforest and then we added colour onto our pictures back in the education room of the museum.
