The Robinwood Experience
Year 6 have once again enjoyed 3 days away at Robinwood in Alston. Each and every member of the class tried every activity, 14 in all! Abseiling, rock climbing, caving, zip wire, trapeze are just some of the challenges the children had to face. The children were a pleasure to be away with, their manners, attitude and behaviour were superb, this was commented on by every member of staff they came into contact with at the centre. Many thanks to all the staff at Robinwood who made the experience such a memorable one for all of us.

A Step Back in Time
Years 5 and 6 became evacuees for the day when they visited Beamish Open Air Museum before the half term holiday. They learned what it was like to leave the city and work on a farm as some children might have done during the Second World War. They tried out many activities they have never done before for example they made cottage cheese, prepared for a blackout, stuffed mattresses and wrapped potatoes. Many thanks to everyone who helped them to find their fabulous costumes, they really did look authentic.
Is it time to return yet?
Blacking out the windows.
All friends together!

Year 5 and 6 were lucky enough this term to visit the City Learning Centre at the Watermark near the Metrocentre to learn how to use the CADCAM package. They used this to design their own World War Two air raid shelters. Many thanks to Michael Mullen for leading these great sessions.

Robinwood Adventure
The Year Six residential visit took place this week and what a time we had! We visited the Robinwood Centre in Alston and spent three days crawling through mud, working as teams, solving problems and much, much more! A fantastic time was had by all. We were extremely proud of every single member of the class, behaviour, attitudes, support for each other were second to none. A huge thanks must go to the staff of the centre and the group leaders in particular who took care of us all so incredibly well.
How many layers?
Who is leading the way?

Song Writers!
Our music work this term has involved learning about how songs can convey messages and emotions and reflect the time that they were written. We have listened to the structure of songs and will be using this to write a pollution rap togther. To begin this process we thought about football chants and came up with one of our own. We hope you enjoy it!
