The Big Sing!

6th July 2022S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

On Tuesday 5th July, choir children visited the Sage in Gateshead to participate in the Big Sing. We worked hard to learn songs which had an eco friendly theme and performed these along with live music. We had a fantastic time!

School writing competition

6th July 2022S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

When I last spoke to pupils in our school, many of them said that their favourite lessons were the ones where they were able to write freely about anything they wanted.  Therefore, we decided to hold a school writing competition where children were asked to write a mini saga – max 100 words about anything, in any genre.  Some classes watched video clips that pupils could use as a stimulus if they were struggling to come up with ideas.

There was one winner chosen per class and all winners received a book.

Here are our winners:

Keevie Blackburn 3CL

Hannah Burden 3AE

Alex Coulson 4NW

Ella-May Grant 4NG

Sara Bainbridge 4KJ

Chloe Evans 5BA

Tyler Griffiths 5LR

Harvey Young 6FD

Gracie Smith 6GD

Carter Harn 6JO

Careers and Enterprise week!

29th June 2022S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

The whole school enjoyed a week on discussing careers and what they wanted to be when they grew up. They were given a sum of money per class and asked to think about what they could make and sell as a class to try and make the most profit. The children learnt a lot of new skills and then sold their goods. 5LR made the most profit! Well done!

 

Music in Year 5!

29th June 2022S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

In Music this half term, our unit is called Life Cycles and it fits beautifully with our Science topic of Growing Up and Growing Old. We started off thinking about babies and lullabies and then this week we are thinking about school.  We learned a great song called ‘Squelch’ linked to the things that children leave in their school bags! Then, we created a musical timetable for 3 of our favourite lessons.  We selected instruments and explored timbre, tempo, dynamics and texture to create range of sounds that we though suited each subject.  We then put those sounds together and performed our compositions to the class.
