Year 6 visited our local church.

8th December 2025S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

Year 6 visited our local church where volunteers welcomed us and took us around different stations which represented the journey of the magi following the star from the Nativity story. We reflected on difficult journeys we may make in our life and different emotions we carry around with us as well as hopes and aspirations and gratitude. Afterwards, we sang some Christmas carols to the volunteers who were incredibly impressed with our voices.

Year 5 and 6 were visited by a PC and a Community Support Officer to learn a bit more about knife crime.

Year 5 and 6 were visited by a PC and a Community Support Officer to learn a bit more about knife crime.

We learned:

  • If you are with someone who is carrying a knife you can get into trouble as well – even if you aren’t carrying one.
  • It is illegal to buy a knife if you are under 18.
  • It is illegal to sell a knife to someone who is under 18.
  • You have to have a purpose for carrying a knife if you are over the age of 18.
  • If you carry a knife, you are more likely to be stabbed with it.
  • It is NOT cool to carry a knife.
  • It can change someone’s life – the victim and their family and friends, the perpetrator and their family and friends, the professionals who have to deal with the crime as well as any bystanders who might witness it.

Year 6 attended a RAP event which was about reducing accidents at play

We attended a RAP event which was about reducing accidents at play.  Within this afternoon there were workshops about electricity safety (Northern Power grid), water safety (RNLI), travelling safely on the metro (Nexus), Anti-social behaviour (Northumbria police) and fire safety (south Tyneside Brigade).  We learned a lot and had great fun.
