Year 5 had an amazing day at Jarrow Hall finding out all about Anglo-Saxon life, thanks to Mark’s fantastic teaching and wealth of information!
In the morning, we met some fabulous animals and found out how they were useful to the Anglo-Saxons. Then we met Anglo-Saxon Jim in his home and we found out about his daily routine. After that, we enjoyed listening to the Beowulf story around the fire and handling some Anglo-Saxon artefacts.
In the afternoon, we explored some Anglo Saxon crafts and tried some weaving. Finally, we found out about crime and different punishments in the Anglo-Saxon times. I still can’t believe the children found me guilty in court and put me in the stocks!
As part of the UK Parliament week, we had a very special visitor in school today.
Emma Lowell-Buck, the local MP for South Shields, came to see us in Year 5 to talk about her job and the Houses of Parliament.
To prepare for this visit, each child in Year 5 had composed some questions to ask Emma and it was very interesting listening to her responses. The whole event was an amazing experience for us all!
This afternoon Y5 and Y6 completed their walk to Cornthwaite Park and even managed to squeeze in some time to play in the park before returning to school.
Y5 have worked as a team to produce this fantastic piece of art to show their support for England on Sunday!
Upper KS2 had a fantastic fun-filled day as we competed in our house colours on Sports Day. All children were involved and tried their hardest with all of the activities and the races were fiercely competitive!
On Friday, we took part in NSPCC Rocks during Number Day. The competition was fierce but Year 6 came out overall winners at the end of the day. Here are the three most valuable players from each class. Congratulations!
Year 5 and 6 were set the task of designing their own games today. They had to write a set of instructions for the game and then test out the other groups’ games! We had great fun in school today!
If you managed to do this task at home, send in your instructions and we’ll try those out too!
Year 5 and 6 Bubble took part in the BBC Teach live lesson to learn about being safe online. We found out how to keep our identity and personal details safe on the internet, how to spot fraudulent websites and how to keep safe when communicating online. We really enjoyed the dance too!
This week, Year 5 and Year 6 Bubble found out about the types of food that the Ancient Mayans ate. We tried a simple version of the hot chocolate they would have drank, flavoured with chilli and cinnamon! It went down surprisingly well!
