Year 6 have had a fantastic, jam-packed day at the Word. From programming Scratch to give out E-safety advice, to filming our very own episode of St Oswald’s does E-Safety in front of the green screen and then building and programming our own Lego break-dancer. Wow! What a terrific day of technology!
Y6 listened with care to two 90s classics today: “Say My Name” by Destiny’s Child and “End of the Road” by Boyz II Men. They went on to discuss, describe and compare the tracks in detail using a range of musical vocabulary. Well done, Y6!
Y6 went to South Shields Fire Station for RAP – Reducing Accidents at Play – to learn about how to stay safe in a variety of ways. We completed activities with the fire brigade, Nexus, the road safety team, the RNLI and the Northern Power Grid, all based around raising awareness of hazards and learning how to manage these, making us all ready for our next steps in life.
Y6 visited the Laing Art Gallery to see the Lindisfarne Gospels. We learned that this historic manuscript was created 1300 years ago and is a huge part of our local heritage. This was a fantastic experience and we’d encourage you all to take a visit while the Lindisfarne Gospels are back in the North East (until December).

During their day at the Laing Art Gallery, Y6 examined a variety of pieces of art closely, evaluating the use of different elements of art and also considering the messages that artists were trying to portray. One collection we visited focused on spirituality, while another was centred around the local art of Newcastle. We’ve taken lots of inspiration for our own pieces that we will be creating next week in line with our Maafa topic.

Y6 took part in a transition workshop run by the online charity, Kooth. They discussed how they were feeling about going to comp and what they can do to prepare towards this change. They learned about Kooth‘s fab website to help them with their transition.
