Year 6 had their first Forest School session this week and they were AMAZING!! Thinking about their class novel ‘Freedom’ which is linked to their Maafa topic, Year 6 thought about life as a slave on a plantation, and what tools they might make and use for everyday life.
We then made our own brooms using natural materials in the nature garden, thinking about functionality and design. We made some amazing creations which were so impressive, they are now hung up in our outdoor classroom!
Across this week, Year 5 and 6 back at St. Oz have been up to lots! We started with a sports morning where we played rounders and were super competitive. Followed by our final Spanish lesson of the school year. We then moved onto rockpooling with Mr Hayton where we looked at lots of different species and considered how we can protect the habitats from harm. Wednesday was a rainy day, so we completed some rockpool-inspired art. Finally – we had a brilliant time at Shiremoor Adventure Playground where we played on the park, observed wildlife in the pond and toasted some marshmallow s’mores on the fire!
Year 6 had a fabulous morning for Fit4Fun, on Friday. Hot, exhausting, fun, energetic, an amazing time was had by all.
Last week, Y6 and Y5 had a fantastic afternoon at The Word watching a real-life rock band. Different Voices consist of singers, a drummer, some guitarists, some brass instruments and a keyboard. We even had the very talented Hayden on drums for one of the songs. Brilliant afternoon
Year 6 had a fabulous time at Shiremoor Adventure Playground. From zip wires, roller skates, bikes, tractors, basket ball, climbing frames to holding the small animals to making pizzas in the outdoor pizza oven. A fantastic time was had by all.
Year 6 had a fantastic day at Durham yesterday for their leaver’s service. We spent some time down on the River Wear, reflecting and working on some transition activities. Before heading into the Cathedral, we enjoyed our packed lunches on the grass. Along with other Church of England Schools, we completed some Prayer Space activities to help us think about ‘Moving On’ to our secondary schools. Then was the service itself, where we sang songs, listened to readings and received blessings. A fun-packed day!
Year 6 had great fun at The Urban Factory, running, jumping, tumbling, balancing and trying out our parkour skills. We showed determination, resilience and control across the morning.
Y6 celebrated the end of their SATs last Friday afternoon with their first of many post-tests trips! We met up with the Y6s from Bede Burn at Jarrow Park, where we took part in a bowls taster, chilled in the play area and played football. Well done Y6 for your tremendous effort levels across SATs week and watch this space for all the other trips upcoming!
Mrs Hope’s fantastic,Y6 English booster have enjoyed their pizza party tonight, thanks to the very generous Mambos in Hebburn. They have all been totally committed for 14 extra hours and Mrs Hope is super proud of each and every one of them. Well done all of you!
Mr Richardson’s Y6 maths booster group enjoyed a pizza party tonight, thanks to the lovely Mambos in Hebburn, to celebrate the end of the group on the eve of SATs, which happen next week. They have put in 14 extra hours of learning since January, which has had a huge impact on their confidence and progress in maths and beyond. Well done, maths booster group!
