What a busy day! Y5 have been adapting a recipe for spaghetti bolognese. They could choose their own ingredients and then they cooked it. We even designed our own labels for our finished products.
A big thank you to Joanne who told our Y3 and Y4 children about the world of estate agencies.
Y5 are exploring forces and we wanted to know how size affects air resistance. We made a small and a large paper helicopter. We timed how long they took to drop to the floor. We discovered the large helicopter took the longest because it created more air resistance.
Thank you to Y3 for giving the school a sneak peek of their informative assembly all about Ancient Egyptian.
We know their families will love the assembly!
A massive congratulations to the five Year 6 girls who took part in the South Tyneside Dance Festival. They choreographed their own dance and behaved amazingly as always.
Wow, wow, wow! This morning we hosted Marsden’s Got Talent. The children put on amazing performances including singing, dancing, music and much more. All of the acts were brilliant and the judges found it very difficult choosing the winners.
EYFS: Hannah, Georgia, Georgina and Theresa
KS1: Evie C-Singing
KS2: Sid- Impressions
In Year 5, we are reading a book about four children who crash-land in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. They need to eat whatever they can to survive, including bugs!
We set Mr Payne the stomach-churning challenge of trying some bugs to see whether he could survive. Some received a surprising thumbs up, such as the wasabi mealworms, while others were less successful, including the honey and mustard locusts!
This week, Year 4 focused on exploring the rock pools at Jackie’s Beach.
We found some amazing creatures….a sea hare, beadlet sea anemones, velvet swimming crab, shore crabs and one edible crab and the entertaining hermit crabs.
We also spotted a rockling, a butter fish and one other (which was too fast for us).
We even spotted the ringed plovers playing on the shore with their chick….we all stood so quiet and watched from a far!
This morning, we were lucky enough to put former pupil and journalist Anna Foster in the hot seat. We found out all about her exciting role and what it involves. I know she will have inspired some of our children to consider a future in journalism.
Congratulations to our winners!
