Today, Year Six had a visit from Show Racism the Red card, a charity organisation who aim to improve understanding of racism and prejudice. The morning was very informative and the children found out lots about acceptable and unacceptable words to use surrounding race and culture.
In the afternoon, we were lucky enough to be put through our paces by Gary Bennet (ex Sunderland AFC player) who led us in a football fitness session.
Today Year Six visited the Urban Factory in Hebburn. They took part in ‘warm-up’ Parkour and gymnastics – and never stopped.
We all had a fun and exhausting day. Thank you!
Here are some examples of what we got up to.
Following their hard work in the run up to Sats, Year Six began their Activities Week with a day at Gibside Estate and what an active day it was! Here are some pictures of what they got up to.
Here are the songs for Year 6 to listen ready for their performance.
Year Six have had a busy week taking their Sats.
The class have worked hard with Mrs Watson, Mrs Maddison and Mr O’Brien, supported by Mrs Small and staff from the school to prepare for these important benchmark tests.
During the week, our cook John has prepared some lovely cooked breakfasts for the children each day to help set them up for their tests- ‘an army marches on it’s stomach’. Thank you John.
What better way to finish the week with a French breakfast or ‘Petit dejeuner’.
‘The Pattisserie’, owned by Mrs Lee, did not disappoint us and the children enthusiastically tucked into croissants, pain au chocolat, pain au raisin, tresses, banana and maple syrup bread, fresh fruit, jams, chocolate, caramel and maple sauces. The children also had juice and Chocolat Chaud (Hot Chocolate) to accompany their breakfast.
Every piece of food was eaten and there was no waste at all – Year Six like their food- especially when it was a good at this .
Welcome to our French Breakfast
A beautiful selection of French food for our breakfast!
Not a morsel was left! Empty plates and NO waste at all . The breakfast was enjoyed by all in our class.
Mmm! what to choose?
Yum, Yum. Cela semble délicieux . This looks delicious.
Qu’est-ce que tu vas avoir? Je voudrais un croissant s’il vous plaît.
The Nursery wanted to show how proud we were of Year 6 for such a fantastic effort this week. So we went up the corridor with a little treat.
Well done Year 6!
This morning, Year 6 were lucky enough to be invited to Cleadon Academy to take part in their annual careers fair. The children were able to meet with adults from all different professions and discuss what their jobs entail. They also got to try out equipment, tools and uniforms to try out what it might be like to work in areas such as: the emergency services, law, building and architecture, medicine and dentistry, sport and fitness, science and pharmaceuticals. I hope the children came away inspired about their futures!
On Wednesday 14th March, Year Six visited Safety works in Newcastle to learn about being safe when out on the streets.
They had a super time with really well-informed and engaging people who took them through scenarios to learn how to keep safe when in the home, using the Metro, shopping with friends and playing in the park. The children took part very enthusiastically and were supported by staff and parent helpers.
PC Lee out on the street to help keep us safe.
Knowing exactly who to call and what to say in an emergency.
Acting out an arrest.
Shop keepers are usually helpful so don’t take advantage!
Trying out the ‘Recovery Position’
We know how to stay safe!
Members of Year Six carried out an investigation into dissolving of a range of materials in water. The class carried out the work very well, they were organised and then wrote up the results scientifically.
Well Done!
Measuring out the materials carefully to ensure a Fair Test.
Ensuring that the exact amount of water was added to each material being mixed.
Care with adding the liquid.
Working together as a team.
Stirring each mixture ten times.
Well done to all of the girls who played football today at Hebburn Comprehensive School!
Despite it being very cold, they played brilliantly and won both matches.
