Five Year 5 children were given an exciting opportunity to take part in a workshop at The Word which was a follow up of the Match Day Experience from the South Shields vs Bamber Bridge football game. They watched highlights from the match, practised using their word processing skills to write it up then filmed their report! Children read from autocues while standing in front of green screens to give the impression of real match commentary. They were then shown how footage can be edited with music and special effects. What a great experience!
Year 4 had a fantastic day learning all about Viking life to enhance their history topic. They dressed as fierce Vikings, sampled the food that they would have eaten and made butter and clay pots. They also got to hold real (but blunt) weapons, wrote in runes and tried Viking weaving. What a fantastic day!
Our High 5 netball teams played in the South Tyneside School Games yesterday. The A team won all of their games, winning gold medals and qualifying for the South Tyneside Finals which will take place at the end of February. The B team also played extremely well and just missed out on qualifying, coming a very respectable fourth place.
All Y6 children had their science topic brought to life when the award winning ‘Science Buddies’ visited to help enrich their science topic.
They have been learning this term about the role of the heart and other organs in the body and also how to keep themselves healthy. They discussed healthy diets, food choices and also had the opportunity to see and touch a real lamb’s heart and see the various areas with ‘hands on experience’.
The children quoted this experience as being:
“Brilliant!”
“Can’t believe you could see the chambers, the arteries and the veins.”
“It made all the previous work suddenly feel real, it’s ok watching videos and looking at books but this was real!”
“That has really made me think about how important it is to look after my heart!”
Our Reception children enjoyed a visit from the school Dental Nurses this week to highlight how important it is to clean their teeth and how to keep their mouths healthy.
They really enjoyed the question and answer time and hands on experience with the dental equipment.
Tiny Tweeties came into nursery for a live singing session. They sang a mixture of songs, played instruments, danced and sang some traditional tales. The nursery children and staff had an amazing day!
Here are a couple of our videos.
