Last week 12 Key Stage 2 children took park in a musical performance called, ‘Footsteps into Paradise’ in Durham Cathedral. The performance was an immersive musical and art experience, celebrating our togetherness as a Trust, enabling the children to explore their identity and spirit of community. Some themes of the show included; respect, belief, reality of war, remembrance, empathy, acceptance, equality and kindness. The children put so much effort into the rehearsals and sang so beautifully on the night.
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!
Bike 3SIXTY Display
KS2 enjoyed an excellent display this morning from Bike 3SIXTY, they saw bike tricks and stunts, learned tips on how to improve their balance when riding and learned about how practice and resilience lead to success!
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!
Red Box Project
St Bede’s has joined the fight to end ‘period poverty’ for schoolgirls. Figures show that 48 per cent of UK girls struggle to pay for their sanitary products. Here at St Bede’s we are involved in The Red Box Project; an initiative that quietly ensures that no young woman misses out on her education because of her period.
Sanitary provisions are available to all students from Mrs Welsh and bins provided in the Year 5/6 toilets.
If your child has any questions regarding this please speak to Mrs Welsh.
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.
