Year 6 had a fabulous time at Nissan. They went on a Nissan coach and arrived at the Nissan Education Centre where they took part in lots of fun activities: a Lego car making factory line, a Lego car creative build competition, talks about Nissan and apprenticeships and jobs for the future. They had a delicious snack and drink and also toured the workshop where they met Woody the robot who used coding to create car designs. Later in the afternoon, they played a response/reaction machine game and had a go at production line tasks like hammering out bumps in body panelling of cars, screwing and unscrewing industrial car joins, searching for nuts and bolts and speed tasks. The day was brilliant fun and the presenters from Nissan, Karen and Robyn made the day exceptional.
Year 5 took 3 teams to a dodgeball tournament at Boldon School. They had lots of fun and competed well. Two of our teams came joint top of our groups and came away with medals. Well done everyone!
We came to school dressed with a number focus and spent the day exploring number with a focus on estimation.
- We made pictures from numbers.
- Estimation Activity – We got given pictures and the we had to order the pictures on from smallest to largest. We discussed how we did it and then gave our best estimate of the amount.
- We did a fun number Scavenger Hunt around the school. We estimated first then had to go around the school finding our if we were right!
- We had fun creating a page for a Number Book for a younger child. Mrs Rennie is going to send them to the Infant School as a stapled book.
- We found out if we were Smartie Pants! We had to guess how many Smarties were in a tube. We then had to think of the colours of the smarties and estimate how many of each colour there might be.
- We estimated how much it would cost to buy enough apples for every child in our class to have 1/4. We then got to check and eat the apple!
In Year 5, children have been learning about South and West African music. They have sung a traditional African song called ‘Shosholoza’ and played chords using glocks to accompany the song. They then added traditional African movements to their song and class 5LR then performed this as an ensemble in front of the whole school. We all enjoyed watching this fantastic performance!
