This week we had a Halloween theme for our Science club experiment. We made spooky gloop using cornflour and water. We mixed the ingredients to make sure that the mixture resembled slime. We were fascinated with the material that looked like a liquid, felt like a sold but acted like a liquid. SPOOKY!

Today 10 year 6’s attended the Bring it On STEM event at the Beacon of Light in Sunderland.

Bring It On, The North East Exhibition for Future Engineers, is targeted at young people aged 9-14. It aims to raise the aspirations of North East youngsters and contribute to closing the engineering skills gap in the region. They aim to do this by Educating young people about the engineering in their region, inspiring them to want to be part of it and informing them about what they need to do to become so.

We had so much fun finding out all about careers within Stem. We learnt lots of exciting facts and we were amazed at how much STEM is all around us every day!

A big thank you to Papi for coming along to help us out too.

Mr Beveridge is impressed with our new playground buddies who are nearly finished their training. They are working hard to learn how they can best support our sports leaders and SSOCs in all things sport!

‘Fairtrade everyday to show our solidarity’

 

The Rights Respecting Council planted ‘Fairtrade’ seed pods packed with British wildflower seeds to enhance local biodiversity, to show solidarity with communities taking on the worst effects of climate change.

 

We are very lucky to be continuing our work with Alexa at the British Ecological Society. Today we put the bird feeders in our school grounds so that we can help the birds over the coming colder months as well as enjoy spotting the different birds in our local area. Thank you to Mr Straughan for helping us!
