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)

Year 3 visit Palace Green !

18th December 2019S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

Year 3 had a wonderful visit to Palace Green in Durham to consolidate their knowledge about the Stoneage to Ironage period of history which they have been studying in class.

They took part in a museum trail on the different periods and enjoyed trying their hands at weaving.

They looked at, drew and described historical artefacts as well as designing and making their own coin.

Finally the children became osteo archeologists and investigated a historical skeleton. They pieced together clues to determine who the skeleton could have belonged to.

Roald Dahl’s Birthday!

4th October 2019S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

On the 13th September we celebrated Roald Dahl’s birthday and supported his charity by paying £1 to come to school wearing non-school uniform and something yellow if possible.  During the day we took part in many activities linked to Roald Dahl, discussed facts about his life and listened to aspects of some of the many books he wrote.  We also took part in a whole school competition; here are the winners. We raised £160.95 for this worthwhile charity.

The school football team have taken part in the Air Quality MEM League over the last 4 weeks and on Thursday 12th of October played their final match. The team won every match they played and won the league. The children showed great team spirit and resilience.  They have now qualified for a cup tournament where they will play against the top teams from the other leagues in South Shields. Well done!
