Well done to these 4 children who won a £5 Asda voucher for 100% attendance Spring 1st Half term.
School and Science Council have been teaming up to help create an improved and cleaner environment around out school. Using litter pickers and black bags so far years 5 and 6 have joined forces to collect discarded litter. We were certainly surprised by how much litter was caught in bushes and hedges and found all sorts ranging from crisp packets, to cigarette boxes, plastic bags to pop cans. Next week years 3 and 4 will help the anti-litter campaign around the school premises.
Year 5 had a great time at a dodgeball tournament at Boldon School.
The children showed grit and determination.
We took three teams and one of our teams won gold medals.
On Friday 2nd February, we enjoyed Number Day! We got to play with loads of games but used our maths skills such as counting, logic and problem solving. We also did maths puzzles and investigations involving numbers!
Year 5 did activities including creating a mathematical clock where we had to create calculations with at least 2 operations in them to create the numbers 1 to 12. Another investigation was to count the frequency of different letters in an extract from The Lion the Witch and the wardrobe. We tallied the numbers and then created a bar chart, thinking carefully about what the scale had to go in up the side. Number day was rounded off with a number related quiz!
Well done to Sara Bainbridge Year 6 for completing all the texts and vocabulary levels on Reading Plus. An amazing achievement!
On Wednesday 24th January, 20 children attended a multisports festival at Temple Park. We completed many activities including basketball, target throw, relay races, football skills and lots more. We had a great time and were very well behaved.
A group of year 4 children attended Temple Park to compete in an athletics event. All of the children tried very hard and had a lovely time taking part in a selection of field and track events.
On Thursday 11th January, we were visited by Will from a group called Rocksteady. He taught us about the various musical instruments such as an electric guitar, bass guitar, keyboard and drumkit that make up a band and we listened carefully to the different sounds they made. We enjoyed singing and dancing to various songs that Will sang and played.
Year 5 and 6 took part in a ‘Hoops 4 health’ workshop and learned a lot about how to keep our bodies healthy. This included the things we eat and the exercise we do.
To introduce our World War 2 topic we took part in a workshop lead by ‘That History Bloke’. We looked at many real artefacts and found out many real stories from people who lived through World War 2.
