Y5 History Workshop
Year 5 recently enjoyed a wonderful history workshop with Richard (‘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!
Here is a selection of photos of the children enjoying their brilliant afternoon:
Year 5 Hoops 4 Health
Last week, Year 5 had the fantastic opportunity to work with some of the players from Newcastle Eagles. They took part in the wonderful Hoops 4 Health roadshow. The afternoon concentrated on health messages such as mental and social wellbeing, how to stay fit and look after the heart and lungs, healthy eating including portion size and a balanced diet. Plus, there was the opportunity to play some basketball. Year 5 worked very hard and had a brilliant afternoon. Here are some photos of what we got up to:
Year 5 Library Visit
Year 5 visited the children’s library at The Word today. The library staff told us all about the library and we had a quiz about what we’d learned. We heard some new stories and then had time to select some books to loan. Some of us couldn’t wait to dive into our new books and even took them outside to read on the playground at lunchtime. We are already looking forward to our next visit.
Year 5/6 Athletics Event
Three teams of pupils from Year 5 and Year 6 enjoyed competing at Monkton Stadium in the Quadkids Athletics event this week. Everyone tried so hard and should be extremely pleased with their performances and I was very proud to see everyone supporting each other with lots of enthusiasm and kind words. The children had buckets of positive energy and it was a delight to hear them cheering each other on. A huge ‘well done’ from Mrs Usher.
Feast of St Bede
To celebrate the Feast of Saint Bede, some of our wonderful Year 5 and 6 children wrote and led an assembly all about our patron saint. The children did a fantastic job of researching key facts and writing their own script. They also collectively wrote a prayer to St Bede which they shared with everyone, alongside some beautiful artwork inspired by El Salvador crosses.
St Vincent de Paul Summer Camps 2024 at Holy Island
The St Vincent de Paul (SVP) Society has some availability for children in Years 5 and 6 to attend their annual summer camp at Holy Island. The camp has been running on Holy Island for approximately 70 years. While weeks 1 and 2 are now full, there are places for weeks 3, 5 and 6 of the upcoming summer break. It will be a fantastic experience – some of our teachers even attended the camp when they were in school!

Year 5 – Hoops 4 Health
The children in Year 5 enjoyed an amazing afternoon with some Newcastle Eagles players.
The Hoops 4 Health 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 take part in some basketball activities with the Eagles players!
The children were fantastic at answering the players’ questions and taking part in the activities.
Well done everyone!
Year 5 DT – Star Bakers!
Year 5 showed off their baking skill in DT recently. We had a lovely (and rather messy) morning mixing batches of bread dough then adding our chosen additional ingredients. After the dough had risen, we shaped our bread into rolls following the designs we’d chosen to use. Finally, we tasted and evaluated our bread rolls once they had been baked.
Good job, Year 5!
