Keep Fit Club had great fun this week as Miss Ingoe brought in a giant parachute!
We worked as a team to lift the parachute in time, creating a mushroom and played games like cat and mouse and shark attack! There was a lot of laughter 😂
Last Thursday a group of year 4 and 5 girls represented our school in a football festival held at Castle View Enterprise Academy. We took part in football coaching drills followed by four matches, in which we won 3 games out of 4! The girls all played fantastic, had lots of fun, practised their football skills and behaved brilliantly. They even came up with a team celebration for each goal they scored!
Some of our year 5/6’s recently attended the South Tyneside Quadkids tournament at Monkton stadium. They were truly amazing! We’ve just got the results back and one if our teams has qualified for the regional finals. Well done everyone!
As part of year 5’s PSHE lesson today the children were given Scrabble tiles to make words. The main focus was to see who worked ‘collaboratively’. It was interesting to see who made their own and who worked as a team to make a Scrabble board. We discussed how to improve and work collaboratively and the children began to make group boards by using each other’s alphabet tiles.
Year 5 went to Boldon Comp to compete in the annual rugby tournament. They showed fantastic teamwork, resilience and confidence in their matches. We are so proud how they represented the school and themselves. Our teams came 1st and 2nd!
Well done everyone!
As part of our dimensions topic ‘War of The Worlds’ year 5 went on a trip to Eden Camp.
The children learnt how the modern history museum was originally a prisoner of war camp. They explored the the different huts which covered different aspect of the war, starting with the rise of the Nazi Party, Hitler and The Outbreak of War. Other topics include: Rationing, Evacuees, The Blitz, Air Raid, Animals at War and Women at War ect.
The trip allowed the children to deepen their understanding of history and the impact of WWI & WWII. Overall, they had a great day out with a few ice creams and gifts from the gift shop.
With the nicer weather approaching, we have taken part in the Great Big School Clean. Every year group has helped to litter pick around our school. Not only helping to improve the environment but also ensuring that our school grounds are a safe place to play and enjoy the upcoming sunshine!
On Wednesday the Year 5 children went on a trip the Hancock Museum. They had great fun walking to the metro in the snow and looking around the museum. The children have been learning about the Egyptians so we’re fascinated by all of the artefacts and the real-life mummy.
As part of World Book Day the Year 5 children were inspired by Michael Morpurgo after watching and learning from him via Zoom. The children then had a go at drawing their own Butterfly Lion. We definitely have some future illustrator’s in our school!
This term head 5 are learning about Sir Ranulph Fiennes who is an English explorer who has broken many world records.
Today’s mission-
A route had been made in which the ship had to take to avoid damage or, even worse, drifting into the unknown! As darkness had set in, explorers were unable to see the route ahead, all apart from the ship’s captain. Blindfolds ensured that the sense of sight is lost! Using only verbal instructions, the captain of the ship had to guide their team safely along the safe route.
