Look what we’ve been up to

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!

Year 3 have had an amazing day visiting Washington Wetlands Centre! We had the opportunity to see a huge variety of birds and other wildlife whilst also taking part in some fun and informative outdoor activities. Some of saw squirrels for the first time and absolutely loved watching the animals in their natural habitats.

As usual, the children were a credit to the school as their behaviour was fantastic and they had some great questions for the staff at the centre. The staff at Washington Wetlands Centre were really impressed!

Take a look at some of our photographs from the day.

Ashleigh came in today to teach us how to play tennis. We learned all about controlling the ball and holding the racket correctly. Then we rallied the ball to each other showing all of the skills we’d learned. 8 of us were then cosen to represent our school next week but we were all absolutely amazing!

Year 3 have been learning all about light in Science. Today, we learned about how an opaque object can block light and cause a shadow.

We had lots of fun designing and making our very own shadow puppets and creating different size shadows with them.

Year 6 were very lucky to visit the extremely powerful and emotive piece of art that is the Knife Angel.
