The children had an amazing time, it was wonderful to see how they grew in confidence!
Our fantastic Y6’s competed at Boldon Cricket Club on Monday, as a post-SATS treat. They had a lovely day in the sunshine and managed to win a few games while they were at it!
Our fantastic Y6 children have used the skills they have gained over the term in computing, to create and publish their very own websites! 💻 Check out their masterpieces below:

What an adventure! We have recently visited Thurston Outdoor Education Centre for a 5 day residential. We challenged ourselves, we showed resilience, we tested our geography skills and most of all…we had fun!

As part of our World Book Day Celebrations Year 2 and Year 6 enjoyed being reading buddys!
Wow, what a fantastic morning we had at French Cafe!
Thank you so much to all the parents, carers and chikldren who attended throughout the morning.
It was amazing to have everyone together and hear so many children and adults ordering their food in French!
Y6 have used lots of skills in DT to create a Viking Longship. From measuring to design, teamwork and communication to problem solving and evaluating. We think they look fantastic!
Year 6 have studied evolution and inheritance recently, looking at adaptations as part of their science enquiry. Learning more about how animals adapt to their environment, groups created their own experiment and set about testing different beak sizes. The investigation used theory from Charles Darwin’s finches and they used practical items to simulate a bird’s beak.
Would a spoon give a better result than a straw? Would skittles be easier to pick up than wheat hoops? Only Year Six have the answers! As scientists, they carried out the investigation using predictions, recording accurately, created a results table before evaluating their findings.
Here are some photographs to show what they did.
Over the last two days, every child from Reception to Year 6 has taken part in a STEM project.in collaboration with the KAPLA workshop team. They have learned how to work as a team and shown resilience and engagement with the process in order to complete their final build.
We have built ski villages, giraffes, houses, crocodiles, boats and so much more! The wooden bricks needed to be carefully placed to make different shapes that would stand tall. There was no glue, no fixing mechanisms, just pure determination and a methodical, systematic approach.
We are so proud of what we managed to achieve together! A massive thank you to all of those parents and adults that helped our children enjoy an amazing learning experience.
The school council decided that they would like to buy some resources for our chilckens and ducks.
In assembley they launched the idea of a bake sale to the whole school. Each member of the student council explained why they loved our animals so much and how important they were to everyone in school.
The children made 300 cakes and dedicated some of their lunch break to sell them to the rest of the school.
Everyone loved their cake and Wow!!! we raised £75.93. The next decision is what to buy!!
