As part of their work with the Anglo-Saxons, Year 5 have looked at the jewellery they had. We have tried to recreate the amazing brooches we saw by designing and making our own Anglo-Saxon brooches. They are made from clay, painted with gold paint and decorated with gems. We are very impressed with the end products.

What do you think?

Yesterday, Year 5 took part in South Tyneside’s hockey tournament. All of the children showed excellent teamwork and superb positive attitudes throughout the morning. Even though we didn’t win, we had great fun and enjoyed learning new hockey skills.

Today, Year Six visited Nissan to take part in their Monozukuri Caravan workshop.  The children took part in lots of hands-on activities to learn about car manufacturing and all had roles in a Lego production line.  We also visited the workshop to watch the robots in action and one had a spooky message for Lucy (see photos).  Our fantastic day was topped off with delicious double chocolate cookies and bags of goodies to take away!  Congratulations to India and Emily, who were runners-up in the art competition, and to Oscar S who was the overall winner!
