What an amazing array of musical talent Mortimer Primary School has!
This week the musicians of the school performed in a number of concerts to share the skills they have been developing this year.
Learning a musical instrument is challenging and requires dedication, we were very proud of all of our students who shared their tallent with other pupils in the school.
Y6 had a fantastic VE Day style party to mark the end of their WW2 party. This week they have made Morrison shelters, learnt how to Jive, competed in ‘Welly Wanging’ competitions, marching drills, gas mask drills, spy missions and helped to prepare a feast to celebrate the end of the war.
A huge thank you to all parents and carers for dressing your children according to the time era this week, it really does help to bring our topic to life.
A big thank you to Mrs Miller and Mrs Taylor for helping our Y6 children to bake in preparation for their VE Day celebration party to mark the end of their topic on World War Two.
Y4 had a wonderful Ancient Greek day! The children looked fantastic in their costumes- from the hoplites to the gods and goddesses. They acted out their favourite myths, sampled a variety of traditional Greek food and worked in groups to design and make their own version of The Parthenon. The following day, they competed in The Mortimer Olympic Games, which included sprints, discuss and chariot racing.
Here are a few photos from our Year 6 Leavers’ Party. A great time was had by all!
Over the past few weeks, 4HA have been making stress balls as part of their Virgin Money Make £5 Grow Scheme. They used a funnel to fill balloons with flour, tied them then designed emoji faces for them. They sold these,as well as keyrings and bookmarks, to the junior children, making a profit of £141. The profit will be used to purchase school resources. A very successful business venture!
Mortimer A Team comfortably won their group in the Bart Rippon Cup played on Friday 6th of July at Mortimer Community College. They were unlucky in their semi final against St Aloyisius but managed a victory in their final game against Bedeburn to finish in third place. Well done boys.
On Friday 6th July 12 children from Year 4 accompanied Mrs Shaw and Mrs Smithwhite to Sandhaven Beach at South Shields to take part in a North East sandcastle competition. The theme was ‘Star Struck: Explore the Cosmos’ and so it was decided to construct the solar system using both sand and paint. The children had a fantastic time taking part in this and were delighted with their final design. Well done to all children who took part.
