EYFS wanted to say a big “Well Done!” To Year 6 for completing their SAT’s. We popped up with a picture for each child and a sweet treat.
We hope you enjoyed them as they were well deserved!
Year 6 were lucky enough to spend the whole day at The Urban Factory today, taking part in gymnastics and parkour workshops. We had an amazing time and were very tired on the bus home!
Well that’s it – SATs Week is finally over! Everybody at Marsden could not be more proud of how each and every one of these wonderful children have coped over the last few days. They have tackled each day with confidence, maturity and resilience. Whatever the outcome, you have shown just how special you are. Well done to our amazing Year 6 class!
Congratulations to Marsden’s very first cohort of Digital Leaders.
A digital leader is a KS2 pupil who is part of a digital leaders’ team within their school, their role is to support the use of technology, particularly iPads across the school. They do a variety of jobs including:
- Promote the school website.
- Support the use of iPads and computers in school to support learning
- Share their skills and expertise with other pupils, classes and teachers.
- Assist teachers and other pupils in understanding coding applications.
- Set up equipment in classrooms for teachers.
- Lead lunchtime or after school computing / iPad clubs (when possible).
- Support teachers in using technology in the classroom.
- Have a good understanding of how to stay safe with technology and share that with others.
This afternoon Year Six had a brilliant time taking part in a drama workshop based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. We created fun frozen pictures around the key themes of the play and transformed into the characters. We even made some of the sound effects!
It was a fantastic afternoon and we cant wait to see the play on Friday!
Everyone loved coming together to see all the fantastic costumes to celebrate World Book Day. Even the staff got involved and dressed up as the characters from the book Peter Pan.
Year 6 got a surprise delivery this afternoon! Don’t they look great!
This afternoon Year Six took part in a science session led by Neil from Big Science. We learned all about the heart and its functions in a very practical way! We used forceps and seekers to explore the parts of the heart and found out how blood travels through this very special organ!
Year 6 had an amazing end to their residential week by visiting Simonside Outdoor Adventure Centre. We tried Archery, Orienteering and Indoor Climbing. Everybody tried all of the activities and thoroughly enjoyed themselves!
Today, Year 6 visited Nissan to find out all about car manufacturing and what it takes to be an car engineer or production worker. We used Lego to practise car assembly, visited the resident robot (who made Evie and Lucas pictures!) and then tested our skills to see if we could work at Nissan.
I’m sure Year 6 will agree that we have had an amazing experience and that the juice and cookies treat was particularly delicious! Congratulations to the following for winning the design a logo competition :
