Today saw yet another educational visit for Year Six – this time to the Beacon of Light for the Bring it On event. The event featured displays from many of the leading companies that specialise in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), giving our children a fantastic insight into what it would be like to have a career in one of these industries.

Today, Year Six visited Nissan to take part in their Monozukuri Caravan workshop. The children took part in lots of hands-on activities to learn about car manufacturing and all had roles in a Lego production line. We also visited the workshop to watch the robots in action and one had a spooky message for Lucy (see photos). Our fantastic day was topped off with delicious double chocolate cookies and bags of goodies to take away! Congratulations to India and Emily, who were runners-up in the art competition, and to Oscar S who was the overall winner!
On Monday, the Year 6 children visited South Shields Community Fire Station to lean about Reducing Accidents at Play (RAP). We came away with lots of valuable information about keeping ourselves safe and had so much fun in the process!

Here is the Powerpoint that was shown at the Leavers’ Assembly. What cuties they were!
The staff at Marsden wanted to prepare a little surprise for Year 6. We hope they enjoyed our sketch and wanted to give you another chance to watch our “sensational” singing!
Wow, what an amazing show the Year 6 put on for their final Marsden production. It was an emotional rollercoaster with tears, laughter and most importantly fond memories.
A special congratulations go to Sarah-Ann on earning Mrs O’Brien’s last ever Deputy Head’s Award and Nicholas on earning the prestigious Head Teacher’s Award.
Congratulations Year 6, you were fantastic!
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.
