Congratulations to the Year 5/6 girls who finished fourth out of fifteen teams in the league. It was a very close race to the finish and the girls competed strongly in every match. As a result, they have qualified for the South Tyneside Champions League in May.
Well done girls!
This week, Y6 tried their hand at being heart surgeons! To learn more about the organ for their science topic, the class dissected some animal hearts and looked at how they worked.
A huge thank you to Science Buddies who guided us through this activity.
Monday saw the boys’ football team play their final game at Temple Park. They have been an absolute pleasure at every session – supporting each other, demonstrating excellent sportsmanship and being fantastic ambassadors for Marsden!
Today Year 5 completed the construction of their bridges and we put them to the test!
The children used all their knowledge from previous sessions about corrugation, lamination and the strength different shapes bring to structures.
All bridges managed to hold over 1kg with some holding nearly 3kg!
Well Done Y5 🙂
This week saw Year 5 tackle their first netball PE lesson. We focused on the three main passes: chest pass, bounce pass and shoulder pass. Next week we are going to polish up our technique while using these passes and leaning about footwork.
This week in DT, Y5 studies the structure of truss bridges and how they use triangular shapes for strength and stability. We had a go at building our own in pairs and next week we are going to test them by adding weights.
Once again, we were blown away by the beautiful singing of Y5 and our amazing Marsden Choir! This year the theme was based on clocks and time.
Well done to all our singers and a huge thank you to Mrs Coffey for all the time and effort she put into making this event happen!
If you are 9-11 yeas old you can join SeaVenturers!
Y5 were fantastic Marsden representatives this morning at Whitburn Academy getting a taste of comp life! They problem-solved, socialised and took part in Maths and English sessions.
Well Done Y5 👍🏻
