We attended a RAP event which was about reducing accidents at play. Within this afternoon there were workshops about electricity safety, water safety (RNLI), road safety, Nexus and fire safety. We learned a lot and had great fun.
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.
School Council 2024-2025
Meet our School Council members for the academic year 2024-2025.
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.
Meet our Science Council members for the academic year 2024-2025. Welcome Dexter, Naia, Sophia, Mia, Kane, Rubi, Harrison, Freya and Lily. We look forward to hearing your pupil voice ideas for Science and having some fun thinking about science concepts over the next year.
Year 6 were visited by two Muslims in school to learn about Islam. We were educated about the five pillars: Shahadah, salah, zakat, Hajj, Sawm. We looked at the religion book Quran and learnt that Arabic is read from right to left and from the back of the book to the front. We viewed a prayer blanket and Alfie tried on some Men’s garments consisting of two white unhemmed sheets.

This week, in Year 5, in Science we worked scientifically and we made water filters in our topic: Mixtures and Separation. We cut the top off a water bottle and using an elastic band, attached a piece of gauze where the lid was to stop the materials falling out of the bottom as we constructed our filter. Then, we chose 5 materials to layer up in our filter. We could choose from sand, cotton wool, lentils, rice, pasta, dog biscuits and toy stuffing. We found that when the muddy water was poured through, the large bits got stuck in the big gaps and the tiny gaps in between the sand trapped the tiny pieces of dirt. The water that came out was much cleaner that before but not drinkable. We worked well in our groups and had some great scientific discussions!
