Year 5 Celebration of the Word

By

This week, our Year 5 pupils led a Celebration of the Word on the theme of Hope, sharing their reflections on Advent with their families. The focal point was the Advent wreath, reminding us that this season is a time of waiting in joyful hope for the coming of Jesus.

Through readings, prayers, and a litany of rejoicing, the children explored what it means to wait with hope and purpose. Parents were invited to join in singing a joyful hymn and to write messages of hope to hang on our tree.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. May this Advent season fill your hearts with hope and joy!

Mini Police at Armistice Day remembrance event

By

On Tuesday 11th November, the Mini Police were invited to attend the Armistice Day assembly taking place at Mill Dam, South Shields. A service was held at the Cenotaph where one of our pupils was asked to lay a wreath.

Accompanying staff commented on the wonderful level of respect shown by the pupils. Well done, Mini Police!

Our Year 5 Mini Police!

By

A big ‘well done’ to the ten Year 5 pupils who were inducted into the Mini Police this week. It was so hard to pick only ten children as the whole of Year 5 submitted wonderful applications. PC Steven and PC Darren agreed that they would have taken the entire class if they could!

We had a special assembly to let the rest of the school know who had ben chosen and the Mini Police were presented with their uniform. Don’t they look amazing?

Year 5 Dodgeball Superstars!

By

This week, Year 5 participated in a dodgeball event at Temple Park. Several schools joined together to play dodgeball and have lots of fun!

During the course of the morning, sports leaders were on the lookout for pupils who demonstrated core sporting values. Two of our pupils were awarded certificates – one for passion and one for honesty.

The entire class showed amazing effort and were so supportive of one another. It was joyous to hear them cheering each other on and sharing words of encouragement. Well done, Year 5!

Year 5 First Aid Workshop

By

Today, our Year 5 pupils took part in an exciting and hands-on First Aid workshop! They explored the contents of a first aid bag, learned how to check their pulse, and were introduced to the DRABC steps (a method for assessing emergency situations).

The highlight of the session was practising CPR on training dummies and learning how to use a defibrillator safely and effectively.

Well done, Year 5!

Anglo Saxon History Workshop

By

Year 5 recently enjoyed a wonderful history workshop with Richard (‘That History Bloke’).

We explored the lives of Anglo Saxon monks and discovered how important they were. Richard really brought the past to life as he shared many aspects of Anglo Saxon times with us. The pupils loved learning sign language that was use by Anglo Saxon monks and handling different artefacts. Just as Richard intended, we learned lots and we had lots of fun!

Here is a selection of photos of the children enjoying their brilliant afternoon:
