Remote Learning

5th January 2021G Moore

Good morning,

Due to the timing of the announcement of school closures last night, remote learning will start from tomorrow, Wednesday 6th January.  This is to enable teachers to adapt existing planning to ensure a high quality remote learning experience for all children.  As previously, weekly plans will be posted both on the website and on Google Classroom with the specific information for each lesson posted daily in the classroom.  For today, we would encourage the children to read for pleasure, access Times Table Rockstars and pursue their own interests while they process the change in their routine.

Thank you for your on-going support.

Flag making at St Hilda’s pit

8th October 2019l johnson

Year 5 were invited by Creative Seed to make flags which will be part of the Custom House’s 25th Anniversary. The children designed their music themed flags and then created them using silk and silk paints. It was fun and very messy! Look out for them when the celebrations begin!

Marvellous Morrisons!

4th June 2019l johnson
 

 

As part of their “Geography of Food” topic, Year 5 were invited to Morrisons to find out about how far food travels before it arrives on the shelves. This is known as “Food Miles”. Ian showed the children around the store and told them how important it is to make it clear to customers where the fresh food has come from. They discovered that some fruit and vegetables were imported from as far away as Kenya, Israel and South Africa. The class collected some items in a basket and Sebi and Zahra scanned the items through the till! Billy and Sian were also shown how to make a pizza (which the children took back to school to eat). The staff made Year 5 feel very welcome and it was the ideal way to finish off their geography topic.

Year 5 meet Michael Rosen!

Year 5 had the exciting opportunity to meet Michael Rosen this week. Michael, who was visiting The Word, told the children lots of interesting stories and recited some of his well-known poems.  Events like this are incredibly beneficial for the children and helps to inspire them to find their own inner poet!

Urban Factory

Thank you to Kimberley, Stacey and Corey for a fantastic afternoon!

First visitors to St Hilda’s Pit!!

22nd January 2019l johnson

Year 5 had the honour of being the first school children to visit the newly opened St Hilda’s Pit in South Shields. They were shown around by two ex-miners who told them all about life as a miner, and how important the mines were to our town. The class had the opportunity to squeeze into a cage which would have taken miners down to the coal face – more than 300 metres underground! The visit enabled everyone to understand what they had learned in class, and to handle real artefacts.
