What a gorgeous afternoon Year 4 have had at our Sunshine Funtime Family Day! We enjoyed sharing lots of mindful activities with our parents and carers, as well as enjoying some popcorn round the campfire!
Year 4 had their final visit of the year to the library. As always, we loved hearing Catherine read to us and then returned our books ready for our next visit in Year 5!
What a gorgeous gorgeous night we all had at chicken and duck club this week! This week was sizzling sausages around the campfire, some chilling in the hammock and of course, some den building!
Year 3 and 4 had a fantastic day at Monkton Stadium for the athletics festival today! We competed in different events across the day, including a 400m and standing long jump.
Not only that, we got to meet our schools PE mover and shaker, Steve Cram! We chatted to him about his career as an athlete and all of his achievements, including how he co-organised the Great North Run and how he still commentates and promotes athletics today.
The children were fantastic ambassadors for the school and made the staff incredibly proud with their exemplary behaviour!
Year 4 had a great morning at The Great North Museum today. We attended a workshop all around Ancient Egypt and mummification. We became historians for the morning, looking at the two mummified people that are kept in the museum, completing our own investigations by looking at different evidence including X-rays of the bodies! This allowed us to draw conclusions about their life and how they had been mummified.
To support our Agents of Change theme, Year 2 have been learning about Newcastle Cat & Dog shelter which takes in animals and ensures that they have all of their rights met. This morning, we learned about the shelter and then created a fact file to share with our St. Oswald’s community which should give you some further information. Please read!
As part of our science topic, Year 2 have been looking at seasonal changes and how this can affect different animal species. We worked in groups to answer different questions on how animals behave throughout the seasons.
Year 2 have had an amazing aspirations day! We have loved meeting lots of people from all different areas of life. We had a real focus on character traits and were able to ask professionals what character traits they need to display in their jobs!
Year 2 continued their learning in PE all about team games. They focused on shooting in handball and developed their skills to help them make the best shot!
Year 4 had a fantastic day for our whole school Aspirations Day. We got to meet lots of different people in different job roles and enjoyed asking them about what character traits they needed to succeed in their roles. We then got to spend our afternoon enjoying lots of different workshops, including a budgeting workshop with NatWest, and a session with a Sunderland women’s team player!
