Some of our Year 4 children took part in LEGO First League competition. The competition celebrated the children’s hard work using STEM: science, technology, engineering and maths. The Mortimer Master Movers brought home the construction and innovation award.
Well done to the team! We think you were out of this world!
RRF had a brilliant time visiting the library this morning and completing lots of fun activities.
On Thursday 6th June all of Year 2 visited Washington Wetland Centre. As part of their Habitats topic in science they took part in three lead activities. They enjoyed pond dipping, a mini beast hunt and a map work session looking at world habitats and adaptions of the creatures living there.They had talks on otters and flamingos. They then had free time to visit the mini beast garden, the duckery, hide and of course the play park. A great time was had by all.
Last week 32 of our fabulous Y6 children had an exciting week full of activities such as canoeing in the Marine Park, rock climbing, problem solving, orienteering, athletics with Start 2 Finish, basketball with the Newcastle Eagles, Football with GS Football Coaching, swimming at Haven Point and these are just a few of the activities that left both the children and the staff exhausted but very happy by Friday tea time.
Our children, as always, were amazing and showed resilience and determination in some challenging activities. Comments were made by all coaches and companies, who provided training, on the behavior, attitude and manners of our pupils. We were very proud as a group of our children and couldn’t have asked for a better week.
Here are just a few of the photos from a brilliant week.
