Over the last few weeks Year 5 have enjoyed music lessons with a drumming teacher.
Over the last few weeks we have been really lucky to enjoy drumming lessons!
The fabulous Anne Malabar from ground works came to visit us to complete a litter pick.
First we had a discussion about how litter affect people and animals…and the world. Then we got into groups of 3/4 and everyone had a job to do. We had a bag holder, a tally keeper and a litter picker. Everyone swapped roles after 8 minutes so we all had a turn.
We only managed to get to the school car park before we saw tonnes of litter. We set to work straight away and hopefully improved the environment around our school.
Once we got back, we counted the tallies and checked who collected the most litter.
Team collected 96 pieces
Team collected 82 pieces
Team 3 collected 110 pieces
team 4 collected 41 pieces
Team 5 collected 78 pieces.
All just from our school car park!
James said he felt guilty that we’ve let our school get this way.
Piper said she felt disgusted.
Maisie felt excited because it was fun to do something nice for our school.
We hope to work with Anne again soon on our next venture! We had a great morning. She was also an expert at learning all of our names.
Yesterday, Year 3 went to Waterstones in Newcastle to spend our World Book Day tokens. We had so much fun looking at the endless amount of books. The workshop we took part in was fantastic. We discussed the books we read at home and at school. We read a spooky book with music playing to build atmosphere and talked about how to engage our audience when we read. Some of us even had our minds read! We were all shocked (even all the adults!)
It was so lovely to see the children enjoying their books on the metro home! I think some of us had nearly finished by the time we got back to school!
We were overwhelmed by the fantastic displays on show this half term! Our school council met to decide which projects where our year group winners and we must say it was a tricky decision!
Huge congratulations to our winners:
Y1 – Carlton
Y2 – Emily
Y3 – Callan
Y4 – Maia
Y5 – Brook
Y6 – Emir
