Year 3 had a fantastic time visiting Segedunum. They had lots of fun learning about Roman life and ancient Britain.
On Wednesday 5th July, choir took part in the Big Sing at the Sage. We had a great time and loved performing the songs that we had practised with a live band.
In Year 5, we have been looking at healthy Bolognese recipes. We looked at a traditional recipe and how it could be improved by adding more vegetables and removing some of the fat, salt and sugar. In groups, we designed our own recipes and then came together to create a mega recipe! We prepared the vegetables (the bridge grip was useful at keeping our fingers safe from the knife!) and then we sautéed them gently in olive oil. We added chopped tomatoes and passata and then left it to simmer for 40 minutes. We blended the sauce to make it smooth and then mixed it with some linguini. A sprinkling of salt and pepper was added and we tucked in! Most of us tasted it with the majority of people absolutely loving it, coming back for seconds!
The girls rounded off an amazing year of football by participating in the Year5/6 Girls Wild Cats Football Festival at Power League Gateshead. The girls competed in various fun challenges and matches and once again, did us proud.
As part of our DT project we created a meal that had to incorporate pineapple. We researched recipes and chose one that we would like to make. We had to think carefully about the ingredients that would be required and the time to would take to prepare and cook it. We had great fun and made a wide range of different things.
On Friday 7th July, Year 4 children visited Durham Oriental Museum to learn more about the Ancient Egyptians. We took part in lots of activities. We handled real artefacts and thought about what they were used for, we completed a quiz using clues from around the museum, we saw a real Egyptian mummy and we also did some drama about the afterlife. We all had a great time and learnt lots!
We went to West Boldon Lodge to sing-a-long with a live band as part of South Tyneside’s ‘Different Voices’ project. Before the band’s performance, we sat around a campfire and toasted marshmallows. We also made a name necklace using natural materials.
Year 6 enjoyed an afternoon of sports.
