Despite the miserable, damp weather, the children had a great time….as you can tell!!

The Year 6 Children performed on stage for their Year 6 Leavers’ Production: Pirates of the Curry Bean
All of the children worked extremely hard to learn their lines, stage directions, songs and dance moves and they performed brilliantly. We have some exceptional talented actors and singers
in Year 6!
The choir which included children from Years 3, 4 and 5 played a crucial part in the play also and sand beautifully.
No photographs were taken during the performance but I made sure I took a photo of the children on stage in their amazing costumes.

On Monday evening, the children in Year 6 enjoyed their Leavers’ Disco.
George from Lil Devil DJ Entertainment certainly kept them entertained with the music and games and the PTFA treat the children to a McDonald’s.
The children (and staff) had a fantastic night!
I didn’t know so many of my class knew how to bust a move on the dance floor!!
Enjoy the photos!

As part of our DT unit, we have looked at and evaluated the packaging of different curry sauces.
We looked through the common ingredient lists of curry sauces and identified ingredients that can cause allergies.
The children then voted which ingredients they wanted to include in their own vegetable curry.
They chose: onions, peppers, potatoes, cauliflower, garlic and tomatoes.
The children then peeled, chopped and diced the ingredients and mixed together with the dry spices and other ingredients and we slow cooked the curry.
In the afternoon, the children tasted their curry (along with some poppadoms) and evaluated their curry.
“10 out of 10” said a few children. “I wish there was some left so I could take it home!”
Safe to say, it was a huge success!

The children visited the OpenZone at The Word to complete part of their ‘Programming and Sensing’ Unit.
The children enjoyed their morning out and their behaviour was impeccable.

In DT, the children looked at a range of packaging and ingredients in a range of curries.
They had to choose the ingredients they would include in our class vegetable curry.
The children helped to peel, chop, dice, pour, cook, stir and serve the curry. All children had to evaluate the curry by its look, smell and taste….and it was a winning recipe.
Many children went back for seconds……and even thirds!!
And we think our waiters looked the part aswel!
we have to say….our waiters did a great job serving and giving out the dishes…..and they certainly looked the part!

Our Geography topic has been learning about biomes and focussing on the Tropical Rainforest biomes.
Recently, the children have been learning about deforestation and the pros and cons this brings.
Today the children were made into ‘suspects’ for the murder of Chico Mendez; a Brazilian rubber tapper, trade union leader ad environmentalist who fought to preserve the Amazon rainforest.
The children were split into groups of three which represented a ‘suspect’ and our team of ‘barristers’ looked at all the evidence and questioned the suspects. Each ‘suspect’ had to answer the barristers questions, argue their point on why they were innocent and then explain who they thought the murderer was based on the evidence.
The team of barristers asked some excellent questions and many of our suspects gave a very convincing argument on how they were innocent and pointing the blame on someone else.
A great afternoon which had all the children engaged and enthusiastic.
ratty and I thought we were in a real courtroom!

Year 6 had the pleasure of inviting their parents into school to watch their class liturgy.
It was great to have everyone back into the school to enjoy a time of worship, reflection and prayer.
The children did a great job and particularly enjoyed the juice and biscuits afterwards!

The children attended The Community Fire Station in South Shields and took part in the RAP event which looked at how to stay safe in many different scenarios, including; fire safety, water safety and how to stay safe when out playing.
The children had a great time and learned a lot and particularly enjoyed the live fire demonstration at the end.
We travelled to and from the event via public transport and the children were so well behaved and a credit to the school. We even received a comment from another passenger on the bus about how well behaved they were.
Well done Year 6!

In Art, the children have been learning about Gustav Klimt and studied some of his pieces.
The children used the ideas of Klimt’s intricate detail and use of ‘Zentangles’ and re-created one of the patterns from the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer. They then created a relief by making this pattern 3D by using rice.
Next the children will embellish their patterns using foil to replicate the metallic look used in Klimt’s work.
(More pictures to follow with finished pieces)
