We’ve had a fantastic first day at the centre. The children have had their tea and are now taking part in “team challenge” which is the last activity before hot chocolate and bed.
Year 6 RAP Event at South Shields Fire Station
Today, the children attended the RAP (Reducing Risks At Play) Event at South Shields Fire Station.
They took part in a series of workshops looking at the different risks when they are out and about.
The children learned about how to stay safe in and around water, using the local metro, the dangers of electricity and how to stay safe on their bikes in our area and on the roads.
The children particularly enjoyed the fire demonstration at the end…and their free goodies!
Celebrating Success
Well done to one of our Year 6 pupils who won a prize for their fantastic R.E. work during Mortimer’s open evening.
Year 6 Leavers’ Disco
The children in Year 6 enjoyed their final disco at St Bede’s on Tuesday night.
Fun and games, dancing and a treat of a McDonalds. The children (and staff) had a fantastic night!
Year 6 Play: Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies
I think you will all agree that the children did an absolutely fantastic end of year production; ‘Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies’.
The children worked so hard to memorise their lines, learn the dances and show off their acting talents.
Well done Year 6!
Big Sing 2023
The school choir took part in The Big Sing 2023 at The Sage Gateshead. They enjoyed singing a selection of songs alongside many other schools.
May Procession
During the month of May we honour Mary, the mother of Jesus. On Wednesday, we held our May Procession and service in Mary’s honour, offering our prayers to her. We were blessed with beautiful weather, processing from the school grounds into the hall where the service was held. Father Bill welcomed the children at the start of the celebration and gave us a blessing at the end.
Year 4 led the celebration, with children from each class bringing flowers to place in the vase at the focal point dedicated to Mary. The children shared a reading, prayers, a litany, sang some beautiful hymns, and one of the children crowned Mary with a lovely garland of flowers.
It was a joyous occasion, and we were impressed with the children’s engagement and beautiful singing throughout.
Dealing with worry
On Friday, Marie delivered a workshop for our Year 6 children and their parents. They discussed the upcoming transitions and how we deal with worry. Marie gave us all some helpful strategies that we can adopt in and outside of school. Thank you Marie and thank you to all the parents that attended – we appreciate your continued support.
DT Vegetable Curry
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!
Geography Court Room
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!
