Today we saw creativity at its best. In amongst the heaps of snow grew snow dragons, icicle sculptures, forts, volcanoes, The Angel of the North, snow tunnels, Buckingham Palace, snow crocodiles, the list is endless!

Victory!
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when....
Years 5 and 6 held their first ever street party to celebrate VE day and the end of their 'Bombs Away' topic. They invited grandparents and great grandparents to join them for an afternoon of singing, dancing, eating and memories. What a wonderful afternoon it was, the children learned a huge amount by listening to the many stories and tales of childhoods past. Many thanks to everyone who came along from near and far!

This week the whole school have been busy with art week. Our theme this year is recycling. A lady from a company named Corus came to talk to us to help us understand a little more about recycling and what we can all do. She showed us how electromagnets are used when recycling steel, we even got to make one!

Pedalling Picnic
What a superb turnout on Saturday 13th June with at least eighty children and adults taking part in our ninth Pedalling Picnic. With a choice of two rides of four or ten miles the majority of children took the longer option and of those on the shorter route (still four miles!) most were in their first year of cycling.
Long route or short, it's clear that the impact of training through our involvement in the Bike it scheme has greatly improve confidence and competence on bikes.
A memorable morning and the best attended to date. The weather was kind too. Thanks to all who took part and particular thanks to Gary Haley for his organisation of yet another successful event.

2008 Pedalling Picnic
On Saturday 14th June around 60 children and parents took part in our annual Pedalling Picnic (the eighth event).
The majority of participants opted for the long ride - 10 miles from Consett to Swalwell - riding at a cracking pace (for children as young as 5) to reach Swalwell in just over an hour.
The sun shone for the picnic element of this enjoyable event.
Thanks to all who took part and particularly to Gary Haley for his work on the organisation of what has become a traditional summer event at Fellside.

Y5 Data Handling
Year 5 have created some fantastic bar charts and line graphs this term. Firstly, the class collected their data using tallies and frequency tables. Next, the children plotted both bar charts and line graphs by hand and then, in later lessons, they linked this numeracy work with ICT to present their charts using Microsoft Excel.
Click below to see some more examples of their super graph work.
