Awesome Attendance Y6C

18th March 2023Catherine Dodds

In each Friday Celebration Assembly, classes who have the best attendance roll the dice and move around the Monopoly board to win a treat.

Year 6C have only gone and made their way around the whole board because of consistently good attendance. Therefore, as they passed ‘Go’, the children could choose  their own destination for a trip. Year 6C chose a fun day at Quaser Laser Tag in South Shields.

A well deserved fulfilled afternoon.

Year 3’s Visit to St. Jude’s Church

16th March 2023Catherine Dodds

In Religious Education, Year 3 have been learning about Christianity and the Church. Reverend Cameron welcomed the children into St. Jude’s Church to discuss the Christian Religion and beliefs and how they worship in a church.
The children looked around the church and found symbols of worship they had been learning about. They helped decorate the Church in in preparation for Easter, tried on the Reverend’s vestments and even had a go on the organ.

Year 3 we’re very respectful inside the church. They used quiet voices and really impressed Reverend Cameron with their questions and answers about Christianity.

As part of Year 6’s computer science learning, the children visited Openzone @ The Word to experience some hands on STEM & Robotics learning. They completed a robotics workshop using Spike software and lego pieces. The children worked very well together to build robots attached to motors and wrote their own code to program the robot to move.
