The children across the school enjoyed collected recyclable materials to create an outfit for their classmate to wear. Mrs Collinson judged all costumes to the best and awarded a certificate to every class and every class enjoyed an extra 15 minutes playtime. Well done to all!
Katie from science Buddies visited our school today and we took part in a workshop that linked mainly to our Geography topic – Energy but also to science. She explained how some energy e.g. wind power is renewable. Then she explained how wind turbines work and showed us some pictures of a wind farm that is local to us called Dogger Bank. Our Challenge was to design and create the blades for a model wind turbine that spun the best. After experimenting with various shapes and sizes (using paper, scissors masking tape and straws) we found out that the angle the blade was positioned at was very important. Most of us managed to create blades that turned, some of the faster than others.

On Friday 13th December children came to school in their Christmas Jumpers or non-uniform. These are some from 6GA.
Year 6 visited the Life Science Centre and took part in a light workshop along with other activities including visiting the Creativity, Wow, Space and Brain Zone. We also visited the Planetarium where we found out about star constellations and planets. It was a great day and learned a lot about light!
For ‘Children in Need,’ pupils came to school in non-uniform and donated £1 for this worthy cause. They enjoyed completing various activities.
4CL visited the Sunderland Wintergardens. We investigated the layers of the rainforest thinking about animals and plants.
We walked around answering questions to follow a trail. This was followed by sketching and colouring the plants.
Afterwards we went into Mowbray Park and completed questionnaires with members of the public about how they use the park.
We all had a fantastic day.
