When I took a step through the deep, dark forest with my friend James, we saw a tree that looked like it was trying to grab us and eat us for breakfast. Luckily, we managed to survive. It was almost like the forest was alive as we took steps into the unknown. We could see crossed sticks waving a sign of danger, but that wouldn’t stop us, so we ran away. When I stopped my friend was gone. I was petrified; I screamed his name over and over again, but there was no reply. I was afraid that I wouldn’t make it out the forest alive!
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! 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!
Here are some of the posters that we have created as part of the alcohol awareness project with 4Real. We will let everyone know who is chosen as the winners as soon as we find out. 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! |
