Today, Katie from Science buddies visited year 4. We looked at what viscosity is, and experimented by making slime. We really enjoyed this lesson and are looking forward to taking our slime home to play with.
We made picnic items out of Modroc, card and paper and then painted them to look realistic. When they were dry, we arranged them on picnic blankets in the hall and selected a viewpoint from which to draw certain items. We used a range of sketching pencils to create an accurate shape and shading. After we shaded some different items, we then created an individual piece of art using our ideas. We decided how to add colour using either watercolour paints, watercolour pencils, colouring pencils or chalk pastels.
On Monday year 6 took part in an orienteering event at Marine park. Two teams of 8 children went. We had to use a map to find markers at various points around the park and write down a letter. Finally, we took part in a challenge where we had to match countries to their flags, both teams got them all correct and therefore had 24 seconds taken off their time. Team A came 3rd out of 20 teams and received medals.

Choir children had a great time participating in The Big Sing at the Glasshouse in Gateshead. We sang lots of songs with a live band and had lots of fun.
Year 3 had a fantastic morning out at the Word, where they had the opportunity to listen to live music. We loved the band ‘Different Voices’ and really enjoyed being able to join in with the singing and dancing.
Year 6 visited West Boldon Lodge to listen and join in with the local South Tyneside band, Different Voices. It was an amazing opportunity for pupils to listen to a live band and discuss instruments and see and hear them being played by talented musicians. Many of us had a brilliant sing along and dance and thoroughly enjoyed our music trip. We were also given the opportunity to explore the wooded area and take part in a bug hunt as well as toast marshmallows on an open fire. It was a wonderful morning.
Year 3 enjoyed their sports day.
The WOW Top Ten Results are in!
We did it! Biddick Hall Junior School topped the leaderboard for South Tyneside! Well done everyone!
We are delighted to say our school finished in 75th place nationally and 1st place locally.
Today, a group of 36 children from year 4 attended a rugby festival at Boldon school. We competed against West Boldon and Forest View. Unfortunately, we didn’t win, but we all tried very hard and we all really enjoyed ourselves.
