Year 2 have been having great fun using the Beebots this week. We have been learning about how to create a route.
In geography, we have been learning about the UK and this week we learned all about Scotland. We found out some interesting facts about this country. We tried eating some haggis and even had a visit from Mrs Hume so she could tell us all about what it was like growing up in Scotland. She even made some Scottish tablet and shortbread for us to eat too. It was delicious!
Marsden’s choir attended The Glasshouse to compete in ‘Choir of the Year’
The children were amazing – displaying the wonderful talent and skills for the whole of the North East to see.
For the second year, we received the ‘Highly Commended‘ recognition.
A special thank you to Mrs Coffey and Mr O’Brien for all of their hardwork

Y5 have been exploring how Christians believe that God is a creator and we read up about the creation story. We wanted to share this with Y2 so we made an interactive wheel to show them what Christians believe.
Congratulations to our winners!
Today, Y5 took part in a zoom event celebrating the achievements of Katherine Johnson who was a phenomenal mathematician. She was instrumental in helping to achieve space travel and was considered a “human calculator”.
Inspired by the session, Y5 created their own symmetrical patterns based on the activities in the zoom meeting.
Last Wednesday, Year 3 visited Temple Park to take part in a multi skills festivals. We had a great time practising multiple skills including throwing, catching, balancing and dribbling just to name a few! All the children had a great time and showcased their skills in front of other schools in South Tyneside. Well done to all the children who took part 🏐🎾
To help us practise our new vocabulary about our routine, we played a silly sentence dice game. The first roll told us what time it was, the second was our action and the third was our adverb.
We had some funny sentences such as “A Minuit, je mange mon petit déjeuner vite” which translates to “At midnight, I eat my breakfast quickly”
In Computing we have started looking at algorithms. This week the children had to give instructions to their partner to move across the grid to retrieve the bear. It was great fun!
EYFS loved the visit from healthy minds. We learnt all
about keeping our minds healthy and recognising our own
emotions.
