We enjoyed taking part in this worthy cause and came to school dressed in red and paid a pound to the charity. We took part in activities also. We had a great time!
Children enjoyed a session playing with the maths games purchased from the Maths Puzzle Company. The games tested the children’s understanding of logic and ability to problem solve. We had a great time!
year 6 enjoyed the show from Professor Brainstorm also!
Year 3 had a fantastic workshop with Professor Brainstorm. We learned about sound and light and had fun while doing it!
On Tuesday 14th March, 30 year 4 children went to Temple Park Centre to take part in an athletics tournament. We all had a great time and tried our best when competing in each event.
Following the theme for this year’s World book Day ‘You Are a Reader’, our competition asked pupils to create a picture of themselves reading a book. It could be in their favourite place like on the sofa or in the garden. They could also use their imagination and draw a picture of a place they dream of reading a book – like in a rocket or on a sunny beach.

At school today and as part of our celebration of Science this week, Science Council counted out and gave every pupil in the school a 3 pack of bamboo toothbrushes gifted by a local company in South Shields. The bristles are made from plant based material and are sustainable products. Connect with your family and discuss the importance of dental hygiene and how sustainable products help our planet.

Everyone had a great day here at Biddick Hall Junior School!
Year 5 had a fantastic day at the Centre for Life in Newcastle! We took part in the ‘Our Place in Space’ workshop, which involved watching a fantastic show in the planetarium – it was the perfect way to round off our Earth and Space Science Topic. The children loved all the ‘hands-on’ activities they could explore in the different zones of the Science Centre and impressed the staff with their intelligent and curious questions.
