Year 3 had a great day at Segedunum Roman Fort. We trained to be Roman soldiers complete with shields and spears. We marched in formation and got ready for battle.
We visited the site of the original Hadrian’s wall and completed a mock invasion from the wall using soft balls. This was very exciting.
We had a tour of the remains of the fort and learned all about the buildings and people.
During May young people can expect the usual variety of podcasts, live forums and discussion boards which of course includes a themed session on Mental Health Awareness Week which ties in with this year’s theme loneliness. Other key topics to watch out for include – body image, meditation, and foster carers.
There are loads of groups where young people can meet and do fun activities all over South Tyneside. All sessions are open access for all young people aged 8-16 to attend (with the exception of FAB Youth Project and Project groups- which are referral only)
This term Year 3 have been learning about Palm Sunday and Holy Week in RE.
We had lots of fun making our own palm leaves and palm crosses.

As a school council, we were delighted to be able to meet up again in the second half of the Spring Term. We decided to try and cheer up the local community by putting positive messages on our school fence for members of the community to read. We have found and formatted them, we just need to laminate them to protect them against the weather. We will do this in our next meeting so keep your eyes peeled for our messages of positivity!
We have also discussed the terrible situation in Ukraine and that we would like to help. We are hoping to have a non-uniform day in the near future to raise money for this cause. Joe suggested that the children try to wear blue and yellow – the colours of the Ukrainian flag – and we all loved that idea.
Next term, we are going focus on our role as global citizens within the global community. We are looking forward to thinking about how we, as members of BHJS, can contribute meaningfully to a global cause.
We would also like to welcome Rubie to our team. She is replacing Bobby who left our school this term.
We enjoyed wearing non-uniform and our red noses and completing a variety of activities. We paid a £1 towards this worthy cause.
We enjoyed designing and making a variety of maths games as part of MST week.
Year 3 have been learning about pneumatic systems in Design and Technology. Pneumatic systems use air to create movement. They had to create a pneumatic system and then use it to create a toy with a moving part. They had lots of fun completing their projects.
