This half-term in PE, we are doing dance. The theme is based on space and we are exploring being astronauts and aliens. So far, we have created a sequence consisting of 3 movements and performed it in unison and then in canon.
Reverand Ian joined us today to talk to us about helping others and that Jesus taught us to help others before we help ourselves. We discussed how even using our words in a positive way can be helpful.
Year 5 had the pleasure of welcoming Williby Roc’s into school; taking part in lots of outdoor activities in our wonderful well-being garden!
We enjoyed using our imagination making a fairy garden and fairy houses, using logs and natural resources to decorate. We developed our creative side by decorating signs for our well-being garden using acrylic paints to make our outdoor learning space more inviting and colourful. We also used our investigation skills to carry out a scavenger bug hunt, using scientific tools and investigation equipment to look closely at the insects within our garden.
“There is no such thing as bad weather when playing outdoors, just bad clothing”.
Muddy shoes, rosy cheeks, cold noses but happy faces all around!
School council met with Mrs Docherty to discuss their new roles as OPAL Ambassadors. They looked at and agreed the new OPAL charter.
William from 2 Blue, has been nominated in this year’s One Voice Awards – the awards ceremony for the UK voice-over industry. He has been recognised for his Blueline Taxis ads, and has made the shortlist in the “Radio Commercial, Best Male Performance” category, alongside names that have spent decades perfecting their craft. Regardless of the outcome, this is already a huge win!
The winners are announced at a glitzy event in London on 18th May – We wish William the best of luck!
The week before the end of term was another good week for attendance.
We had many children with 100% attendance. Well done, keep up the hard work!
We are thrilled to share with you that our Rainbow Flag evidence has been reviewed from our recent audit and we can proudly say that we have achieved the award again!

Wow,wow,wow! Thank you to each an every one of you who entered our ‘decorated’ egg competition. It has been very difficult choosing the winners as the entries were all eggstremely eggstatic! Winners will be revealed in tomorrows’ celebration assembly.
We went on our trip today to West Boldon Lodge. It was absolutely fantastic and we loved every minute. We have done lots of new activities including making a journey stick, den building, looking for signs of spring, using tools to chop wood, fire building and our best bit…..roasting marshmallows over our fire. We have learnt new skills and worked together as a team brilliantly.
