Look what we’ve been up to

We have had the best day at Beamish! We took part in a Victorian school lesson, visited the farm, the old town and the sweet shop. We are all very tired!

Year 4 were invited to Wearmouth Cricket Club by Young Asian Voices. We learned how to bat, bowl and field and we were amazing! We had a great time and the staff said we were wonderful!

We used tights to mimic the intestines, a plastic bag as the stomach with orange juice as the digestive juices and a range of other fabulous resources to show how food passes through the digestive system. It was digusting, informative and lots of fun!

We had a brilliant session in the hall on Tuesday afternoon where Mrs Hughes had set up 10 different stations with different exercises for us to complete. There were box jumps, cycling, skipping, hand weights and many more. We had a great time!

As part of Health Week, Miss Hughes came back in to see us and do some circuit training with us. We did a carousel, working on different muscle groups at each station. We were hot, our hearts were pumping quickly and we had a great time! Thanks Miss Hughes!

Today we tried a selection of fruits from strawberries to plums, kiwi and pineapple! We know we get lots of nutrients from fruit and absolutely loved being able to try them!

Olivi and Anthonhy came in from Active Sunderland to show us the benefits of mindfulnss and meditation. We had a great time and know that our mental health is just as important as our physical health.

Our 8 tennis stars represented us brilliantly at Silkswoth Sports Complex. They were impeccibly behaved and showed real sportsmanship too-we are very proud of you all!

Take a look at some of our year 5 and 6 children who had the most amazing time on their residential trip to Derwent Hill!
