Today Year 6 are taking part in an online quiz organised by ICT in Schools, South Tyneside. They will be pitting their wits against other schools in South Tyneside to see who knows more about keeping safe online. This year the theme for the day is about reliability, can we trust everything we see in the online world? Their skills will be tested to see if they can spot fake news stories and photographs.

In year 4 we have been studying an artist called Sokari Douglas Camp. She is a sculptor and her work is influenced by her Nigerian background. Many of her pieces are made from welding materials and reused waste materials.

Mental Health Week

Next week we are going to be taking part in Children’s Mental Health Week, organised by Place2Be.  The theme of the week is ‘EXPRESS YOURSELF.’ We are going to achieve this through finding creative ways to share feelings, thoughts or ideas, through things like art, writing, music , dance and doing things that make you feel good.

We will be doing loads of activities at school and those working remotely at home will be asked to join in.  Keep checking your Google Classroom to see what is going on in your class.

 

Rock Out 2020!

17th November 2020S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, November 9th – 13th we took part in a competition for Maths Week England, called Rock Out 2020.

For every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, the children earned their class a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform calculated the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours). Our winning Classes were:

1st – Year 6 – Set 2

2nd –  Year 6 – Set 1

3rd – 5LR

 

A huge well done to everyone who took part.  We didn’t manage to get into the top 3 schools, but nevertheless, we are proud of our achievement. We had some outstanding efforts from all year groups, but the top 3 students in the whole school were:

1st – Dennis Rusu (Year 6 – Set 2)

2nd – Hayan Al Dahi (5LR)

3rd – Oliver Wilkins (Year 6 – Set 2)
