Eleanor and Oliver have had a fab weekend at Kielder. They have been been independently sailing ⛵ and had great fun!
On Tuesday 2nd July, professional football referee Geoff Eltringham came into Y6 to speak to them about his role. The session focused on technology and how officials communicate with each other. The class came up with new ideas for how the game could be improved further and made as fair as possible. Something really different that we thoroughly enjoyed!
On Tuesday 2nd July, Y6 will be discussing and debating how to keep themselves safe and happy when using WhatsApp. WhatsApp is an app that has a minimum age of 16 and therefore we don’t endorse it’s use as a school, but the reality is that most of our Y6 children are using it, and we therefore aim to educate them on how to use it safely, positively and in a way that does not cause conflict between classmates. Take a look at the parental guide for more information on the app and advice on app settings and content. Stay safe and happy online this weekend, Y6!
On Tuesday 18th June, Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed their day at Keelman’s Way School. We split up into small groups and joined the children in their classes for the day. We helped them with their lessons and experienced a wide variety of activities including;
Maths, English, the Daily Mile, problem solving with crates,sensory exploration, Makaton, swimming, cookery, comparing our two schools, cycling and PE.
We are now looking forward to going bowling with them on Thursday.
On Tuesday 11th June, Y6 took part in the Y6 Leavers’ Service at Durham Cathedral. There were over ten other primary schools represented, while there were also comprehensive school children present helping run the prayer stations and the service itself. Unfortunately, we were asked not to take any photographs at the event, but believe us when we say that we had a great time and, as always, St Oswald’s were definitely the best singers there!
On Tuesday 4th June, Y6 became Prehistoric Pioneers! Rachael from Durham University brought along a number of genuine prehistoric artefacts from her museum’s collection and we became archaeologists, deciding what objects could be and justifying our thoughts with reasons. Nothing beats bringing history to life!
Eleanor and Oliver had a spa day, visited dippy, played with friends and tried an aqua-sphere! A fun, busy week off!
