This week the children were challenged to build their own Roman arch, some developed their arches into bridges.
Here are their creations!
At science club this week Year 3 and 4 have been learning about acids and alkalines. The children had to test different liquids to see if they changed colour. If the liquid changed to red it was an acid, if it went green it was neutral and if it went purple it was an alkaline.
We had a great time playing investigating liquids and are looking forward to next week!
At computer club, Year 3 and 4 were asked to develop their own computer game.
The children thought carefully about the images and scenery they would need for their game. Some went along the Christmas theme and other chose other topics such as food.
To make their games more fun, they invented their own scoring system so that if their character was to catch some items they would earn points but other items would take points away.
We had a great time playing the finished games.
Well done to everyone who has taken part in hula hooping this term. On Thursday afternoon you all took part in an amazing Christmas performance! Everybody really enjoyed watching the new skills you have learnt. We look forward to your next performance. Keep up your hard work!
This week we had a fantastic time at art club in Year Three and Four. We have been learning about advent and this week we created advent wreaths. We can’t wait for next week to do something else!
Year 5 and 6 have been working hard in netball practise this week, focusing on attacking and defending. They have made great progress and are showing fantastic skills. Keep it up everyone!
We had a fantastic time at art club in Year One. We have been learning about Autumn and we got very messy doing our Autumn finger paintings. We then got to draw our own pictures as a group and we had a competition between the girls and boys. Miss Edwards and Mrs Chrisp were the judges and it ended in a 1 – 1 draw. We can’t wait for next week!
Thank you to all of our parents who joined us on Tuesday night for our pupils vs. adults netball match. Our year 5 and 6 netball team worked so hard and had great fun playing against their parents and teachers. Thank you to Miss Fyall for organising the event and well done to everyone who took part. A special mention for Mrs Hanratty, who was our star shooter during the teacher vs. parents game, as she helped the teachers to win the game with a final score of 3 – 2!
Miss Fyall and our netball team have had an amazing year, culminating in getting through to the South Tyneside final.
They had a great time and showed some promising talent.
WELL DONE
