As part of our PSHE topic, Y5 enjoyed a guided yoga and stretching session from Miss Hope after the half term break. It was very relaxing and we are hoping to do another session soon!
Along with the other classes, Year 3 had a great time on Friday while raising money for children in need. We enjoyed taking part in the colouring competition, tasting our delicious Pudsey biscuits and solving Pudsey related puzzles!
Y5 had a great day completing Pudsey challenges and the biscuits were so delicious they didn’t last long enough to get a photograph with them!
Year 6 had a wonderful time creating a Origami Pudsey bear
Some very talented young people
To carry on our learning of filtration, Y5 made their own filtration systems. We used pop bottles (which were kindly donated), cut them in half and poked holes in the lid. Then we added the layers talking about why each layer is needed.
The materials we used were cotton wool, charcoal, sand, small stones and then large stone. We were impressed by how clean it made the water!
Warning! Do not drink the water if you try this at home
The girls’ football team had an amazing start to their season with three wins out of three on the first South Tyneside match day. The girls worked really well as a team with some lovely passing and well-taken goals from our forwards. The girls were also solid defensively, not conceding a goal in any of their games!
A great morning, topped off by a special mention from another school about Demi’s sportsmanship when congratulating the opposing keeper on saving one of her shots.
Today a group of 5 Year 6 pupils went to OpenZone @ The Word to take part in a cyber security event. We were joined by some other schools from South Tyneside. The iBelong Cyber Event showed us how important password security is. We learned about how passwords are hacked, and had a go at cracking the code on the BBC Microbit. We learned about AI – Artificial Intelligence, and how computers learn. Our teams chose anonymous user names in the quiz to check how impersonation or identity theft can damage our reputation. We were Burger, Apple and Ronald!
It was a fun day, and we did really well at the quiz at the end.
Today we listened to the story called “The Walls Fall Down” about the walls of Jericho.
Thank you to Y4 for helping with the tale.
On Friday, Year 3 celebrated World Mental Health Day by coming to school wearing something that makes us happy and began preparing our planter for the school’s buddy garden. We loved how the outside of our planter turned out and can’t wait to see it in the buddy garden!
The children enjoyed a stress-free day taking part in practical maths activities, mindful activities such as puzzles and watching a movie as well as relaxing spa treats!
