Holi Celebration

17th June 2022N Sikka

This week the children had a fantastic opportunity to take part in R.E workshops based around the Indian festival of colour, ‘Holi’.  Kalpesh from K’z Dance Entertainment Ltd taught all the children some traditional Indian dances and discussed with them the  meaning of the Holi festival.  At the end of the day the whole school came together and performed the dances taught earlier in the day, the children and staff had some wonderful moves!  At the end of the performance everyone took part in throwing colourful dyes at one another to celebrate Holi, just like it is carried out in India.

Bart Rippon Football Cup: Penalty Drama For Runners-Up Hebburn Lakes!

8th June 2022C Campbell

Our brilliant Upper Key Stage Two Boys’ Football Team continued this season’s fantastic run of results with another thrilling display at today’s Bart Rippon Cup event at Temple Park. Having qualified for the semi-final stage during the morning fixtures, the boys then made it through to this afternoon’s final with a narrow 1-0 victory over Harton. The final was another closely-contested game which eventually went to a dreaded penalty shoot-out! By a whisker, we were defeated by St. Matthew’s, who went away as today’s cup winners – congratulations to them and well done to all of the children who represented their schools today.

I am so proud of the players’ efforts and attitude to finish runners-up – you are all a credit to yourselves and it was a pleasure to take you there today. Well done boys!

 

 

 

 

Marine Conservationists!

6 Red have begun our new LMTW theme, Global Warning!

As part of our topic, we explored the impact of pollution, specifically ocean pollutants.

We found out that oil and chemicals make up the largest proportion of ocean pollution, however it is difficult to remove from the sea once it has been contaminated.

During our investigation, we attempted to find the most efficient method of clearing the oil from the water.

Many of us hypothesised that the sponge would work the best, as it absorbs water, however we realised that water has smaller particles than oil.

In the end, believe it or not, our result found that a pair of nylon tights that attracted the oil and successfully separated it; we discussed that due to it’s similar properties, oil is attracted to nylon!
