Today I (Briony) went to a very exciting festival for the athletics district finals. I went there because I am the best shot putter Sunnybrow has ever seen and I won our cluster festival! I came second with 10.08m and the girl who won threw 10.12m. Unfortunately I didn't win, but I had fun and made new friends from all over County Durham. This amazing festival was in Shildon and I had so much fun!

As part of Sports Week, we arranged a KS2 School Games tennis festival for our class and Y3/4. Some of us even got to organise and be umpires for the Class 3 competition. We all had great fun and enjoyed having the chance to show off our brilliant tennis skills, as well as our leadership skills for the umpires. Our Class 4 winners were: Justin, Briony, Matthew and Chloe and the Class 3 winners were Kieran, Ciaran, Hannah, Lillie-Beth and Keira-Jo. Well done to everyone who took part! We have just found out that we now have two champion shot throwers in school! As well as Briony winning the girls' shot put, Callum H has also been revealed as the winner of the boys' event. Briony has also been selected to be part of the district team for the county finals on Friday. Good luck Briony! Today 16 of us took part in the Parkside cluster athletics festival at Peases West athletics track. We put 100% effort into each event and are very proud of ourselves. In most events, we finished in 2nd or 3rd place, even with some Y3s and Y4s from our team competing against Y6s from other schools. Huge congratulations go to Briony who was the champion of the girl's shot put, with an outstanding throw of 13 metres! Well done to everyone who took part! This week we have been learning about division in Maths and Briony has created a Show Me video to explain how to divide and give your remainder as a fraction. Year 6 have had yet another brilliant day out - this time at Northumbria University (which is where Miss Potts went when she was a student). We had a great day with our student reps, Heather and Nonso, who were really impressed with our behaviour and the quality of the questions that we asked. We played games in the enormous sports hall, did a treasure hunt in the library and explored the campus by playing 'Campus Monopoly'. Extra congratulations to Luke who was chosen as the star pupil in our group during the graduation ceremony, due to his outstanding behaviour and attitude during the day.
We had a real treat today as Year 6 visited Durham Cathedral for their leavers service and then went out for a meal afterwards. Everyone had a day to remember and set a fantastic example for our school as usual. Plus, the ice creams were delicious!
Today was our first music lesson of the term. We sang songs, played the chime bars and did some percussion activities.
After months of hard work, we have finally completed our 'Make a Difference' challenge! We decided that we wanted to raise awareness of the Syrian refugee crisis in our community and carry out fundraising to support refugees. We planned and presented an assembly to the rest of the school; raised money with a dressing up day; produced poems and posters and organised a Spring fair. In total, we raised around £350, which we decided to donate to Shelterbox who send emergency supplies to refugees. These photos are from the celebration event at Durham University, where some of our Y6 pupils presented our project to over 200 people. We were extremely nervous but we performed very well and everyone loved our presentation! |
