Year 6 Safety Works Visit
On Wednesday 26th March, year 6 visited Safety Works and found out all about:
Science Week 2025!
We have all thoroughly enjoyed celebrating British Science Week in school. The theme was ‘Change and Adapt’ and we thought it would be a good idea to focus on something relevant to ourselves and our planet, therefore, we decided to have a whole school focus on climate change. Take a look at what we’ve all been up to! The Hub In the Hub we
Table Cricket Festival
Some of the Year 3 and 4 children went to Durham Cricket Ground, Chester-le-Street and played Table Cricket. We had an amazing time, playing Table cricket against many schools. We had lots of fun.
Year 3 – Outdoor Learning
As part of our geography topic, the children have been learning about how the locality of the school has changed in the last 70 years, and how this has affected hedgehog numbers. Today, we compared maps of Southwick from the 1950’s until today and looked at how ‘green spaces’ have drastically declined. We decided to walk around our school grounds to look for suitable habitats for hedgehogs. We found that we don’t really have that many great habitats for them so this is something we are looking to improve.
Year 3 Tennis stars!
Some of our Year 3 children took part in the Cluster Tennis competition today at Monkwearmouth School. They were all amazing and made us very proud! Their attitudes and sportsmanship were brilliant and they really were a credit to us all. Well done Year 3!
Year 4 Science Week…
For British Science Week we investigated microplastics and how we can filter them from the ocean. We looked at what microplastics are and how they make their way into the eco-system and the food we eat. We used sand as our microplastic and investigated which material would make the best filter-we were surprised at our results!
Year 4 Sewing in DT
We started our new topic of sewing this week and learned about the running stitch-we found it really tricky to thread the needle then knot the thread then we flew when actually sewing!
Year 4 Celebrate World Book Day
Year 4 had a great day celebrating World Book Day, we loved seeing everyone’s costumes and talking about our favourite books and characters! Take a look at our fantastic outfits!
Year 3 Reading cafe
As part of ‘Reading Week’, Year 3 held a Reading cafe. We invited parents and carers into school to take part in a variety of reading themed activities. The children absolutely loved reading to their grown ups and showing off their amazing work! We really appreciate the parents and carers who took the time to attend our reading cafe. It really means a lot to the children and the staff!
Year 3 – Pancake Day
This week, Year 3 have been learning about Lent in RE lessons. As part of this, we looked at Shrove Tuesday and the reason people tend to make pancakes on this day. The children then decorated their own pancakes.
