The children at Biddick Hall Juniors have been involved in a variety of activities as part of Science Week. They have tested boats, designed a poster, investigated the question, ‘What should we trust machines to do for us? and had a visit from Katie Rochester from Inventors and Makers who came in and worked with each class to do an Artificial Intelligence Workshop.
Science council enjoyed making slime with Katie from Science Buddies.
Katie from Science Buddies visited year 4 to investigate how sounds are made. We carried out an investigation to find out which materials muffled sounds effectively and used a sound meter to measure in decibels. We had great fun and we developed some excellent scientific enquiry skills.
To celebrate World Book Day an author visited our school called Jodie James. She visited every class to complete an activity and read part of one of her books. All lessons during the day focused around various books and authors. Everyone also took part in a school competition to design a World Book Day token.
All pupils were given a £1 World Book Day book voucher and we held a Scholastic book Fair where books were for sale after school on Monday 9th March.
Our Year 3 children had an amazing time exploring Dennis – the Recycling Education Bus. They learned all about recycling, reducing waste and looking after our environment.
Year 5 enjoyed a tournament at the Newcastle Eagles basketball arena.
One team managed to get through to the semi-finals on Friday 13.3.26
The next Let’s Talk event with parents & carers who might have had involvement with Children and Family Services is going to be on Friday 27th March.
Year 6 had a fabulous time at Nissan. They went on a Nissan coach and arrived at the Nissan Education Centre where they took part in lots of fun activities: a Lego car making factory line, a Lego car creative build competition, talks about Nissan and apprenticeships and jobs for the future. They had a delicious snack and drink and also toured the workshop where they met Woody the robot who used coding to create car designs. Later in the afternoon, they played a response/reaction machine game and had a go at production line tasks like hammering out bumps in body panelling of cars, screwing and unscrewing industrial car joins, searching for nuts and bolts and speed tasks. The day was brilliant fun and the presenters from Nissan, Karen and Robyn made the day exceptional.
Year 5 took 3 teams to a dodgeball tournament at Boldon School. They had lots of fun and competed well. Two of our teams came joint top of our groups and came away with medals. Well done everyone!
