Today we had a special visitor in school. Jamie Knight who is ranked top 10 in the world for freestyle football and stared alongside Lionel Messi in an advert in 2020. Jamie came into school to show us his freestyle skills. He was amazing and gave a workshop to teach us some tricks including around the world, a heal kick and lots more.
Lots of the 6 Blue children have been busy creating their School Council manifestos this week. The prospective candidates outlined their ideas to improve our school to the rest of the class and voting will begin shortly. Good luck everyone!
Welcome to the first post showcasing the amazing work completed by year 1. The children have all settled back into school life with ease and are taking on their new challenges with excitement and creativity. We have been looking at sorting objects in various ways in our maths lessons and ‘The Colour Monster’ has been our book of choice in English where we have been talking about our feelings. Our PE sessions this term are with our sports coach and we are focussing on different ways to move and jump. Our Learning Means the World lessons have been around safe playing with our friends and looking at habitats and life cycles of animals. As you can see we have been really busy but have had so much fun and can’t wait to share more of our experiences with you throughout the year!
Reception, what an amazing first week we have had. We are so proud of how you have settled, made new friends and explored everywhere, just fabulous!
This week, Year 5 have dived into orbit, creating cyclic (repeating) patterns using musical instruments.
We composed a 4-bar rhythm, before performing in front of our peers!
The countdown is on… Only 2 days until the launch of the St Oswald’s Shaun the Sheep on the Tyne art trail!The fabulousflock of 115 big and little sheep will take to the streets of the NorthEast for ten weeks ofcelebration in support of St Oswald’sHospice.
The trail map and app will launch very soon, so watch this space if you’re hoping to find them all – including our very own sculpture, lovingly named “Olor” by the children (“Olor” is the Latin word for Swan).
We had a fantastic fun day. We explored the ‘fun bus’. Then we danced and played games with ‘startastic’ characters, had ice cream and mastered the assault course!
Here are some pictures of the fun day that we all really enjoyed, especially the ice cream!
This half term, thirty of our year 5 and 6 pupils were lucky enough to take part in this years STEMFest event.
STEMFest is an annual festival, aiming to encourage and inspire young people from North East schools, into STEM subjects and career goals. This year, over 50 North East businesses delivered hands-on activities- showcasing the range of careers and job roles available in the STEM sector in our region.
Whilst at the event, our children were able to explore four zones: Space, Technology (including cyber attacks and piloting), Environment and Manufacturing.
We left feeling inspired and inquisitive about our future careers in the STEM field of work!
