Well done to all the children in Year 5 for taking part in our Class Liturgy on Hope. You all read and sang beautifully.
Hoops 4 Health
The children in Year 5 and 6 enjoyed an afternoon with some Newcastle Eagles players this week.
The roadshow concentrated on health messages such as mental and social well-being, how to stay fit and look after the heart and lungs, stay hydrated with tap water and eating a balanced diet. The children also had the opportunity to play some basketball with the Eagles players!
The children were fantastic at answering the players’ questions and taking part in the activities.
Well done everyone!
Year 5 History Workshop
This week, Year 5 had a special visit from ‘That History Bloke.’
We explored the lives of Anglo Saxon monks which is part of our History topic this term. Richard really brought the past to life as he shared many aspects of Anglo Saxon times with us.
Just as Richard intended, we learned lots and we had lots of fun!

Y5 ‘The Lost Thing’
Year 5 have recently been exploring ‘The Lost Thing’ by Shaun Tan. They innovated upon the original text to write their own story then published them as a short book with illustrations. Good job, Year 5!
Y5 South Tyneside Athletics
Three teams of pupils enjoyed competing at Monkton Stadium in the South Tyneside Athletics last week. There were some brilliant results in the 75m sprint, 600m, howler throw and long jump. Everyone tried so hard and should be extremely pleased with their performances, especially on what was an usually hot day!
I was very so proud to see everyone supporting each other with lots of enthusiasm and kind words. The children had tons of positive energy and it was a delight to hear them cheering each other on.
Well done, Year 5 – you truly are a fantastic team!
Year 5 Jubilee Photos
Here are a few photos of Year 5 taking part in our ‘songs through the decades’ performance for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. They looked great in their red, white and blue outfits and did a fantastic job of singing our chosen song from the ‘noughties.’ Scroll down to the bottom for a short video clip of their lovely singing!
Year 5’s recital of ‘Jabberwocky’
Click the image above to see Year 5’s performance of ‘Jabberwocky’ by Lewis Carroll. We have been using the poem as a focus text to explore poetic conventions and inspire us to write our very own nonsense poems with portmanteau words. The children then formed groups to create and rehearse actions to perform the original poem as a class. We hope you enjoy it!
Year 5 trip to the National Glass Centre
Year 5 visited the National Glass Centre as part of our Science topic ‘Properties and changes of materials.’
First, the children took part in a changing states workshop in wit which they made predictions about experiments, carried them out then wrote their conclusions. I was very impressed at the scientific vocabulary they used and how keen they were to make sure it was a fair test.
Next, we watched a glass blowing demonstration. The children were really engaged with this session and it was lovely to hear them wondering what the final piece would be.
Finally, the children took part in a glass fusing workshop in which they drafted their designs then brought them to life with small glass tiles and frit. We put them in the kiln and will pick them up when they are ready. We can’t wait to see the final results!
Well done for another fabulous day, Year 5. You are superstars!
Year 5 trip to The Word
Year 5 visited the Open Zone at The Word to take part in some programming activities including:
Selection in Physical Computing – Lego Wedo 2
Designing and running a light show using LED display – Sphero
I have to say the children worked fantastically well and their behaviour was superb. Their programming and building skills resulted in some brilliant work with robotics. It’s clear to see we have some keen Lego fans in class too!
Click the first image to see a short video of the children in action and I have added some photos of the day below.
Year 5 Star Bakers
In DT this half term, the children in Year 5 have been studying the process of making bread. They designed their own recipe with their own flavour combinations. Last week we saw their designs come to life as they baked, tested and evaluated them. The children worked so well and were very happy with the results of their hard work! Here are some photos of our bakers in action.
