Father Mervyn joined us to celebrate our Harvest Festival at Biddick Hall Junior school. Thanks you to all our parents and carers who donated food items. They were distributed to two local foodbanks. They were very grateful that you shared your harvest gifts with them.
This week in Science Council we all met together and created chemical reactions between bicarbonate of soda and vinegar to create some spooky potions. We also had a special visitor, Mrs Hayward, who came in to meet us and help.
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.

We celebrated Roald Dahl Day on Friday 13th September. Staff and children were encouraged to wear yellow and pay £1 for the Dahlicious charity. As well as finding out about Roald dahl himself all lessons were linked to a book written by Roald Dahl. A competition was also carried out where children designed their own chocolate bar.
Year 4 enjoyed a visit from Katie, from Science Buddies. We investigated the human digestive system by cutting and mashing food and watching it travel through the different parts of the system including the esophagus, stomach and intestines. It was great fun and helped us to understand this process.
