Phishing Fighters

14th October 2025a hayward

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.

Year 1 have been learning all about churches and we had a very special visit from Reverend Vernon. We found out all about his Whitburn Parish Church and his job in that church. We also shared our floor book with him to show our amazing knowledge about churches so far. It was a very interesting afternoon!

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!

Beowulf Drama

9th October 2025M Hanratty

Y5 have loved their text this half term, Beowulf.
On Wednesday, we acted out the epic poem by taking on a role. They were King Hrothgar, Brave Beowulf, Fiendish Grendel and an unfortunate guard. This will help us to write our narrative retelling next week.
Can you tell who is acting out which role?
