Year 6 – Mr W Broadhurst + Miss E Davison
Netball & Cricket Challenge
Year 6 took part in a netball and cricket challenge morning at Spennymoor Leisure Centre. They worked well as a team and had a go at some new skills, really enjoying the day. Some of the children who had played netball earlier in the year got a chance to demonstrate what they had learned to the other children. Well done Year 6!
Blaze Pods Day
Year 6 took part in a blaze pods day where they got to try out this fantastic new interactive equipment. They worked very well together as a team and helped each other to be as successful as possible! Well done!
International Day
In Year 6, we found out about India. We researched its geographical location and features.
We made some Indian dips and tested them. Our favourite were the spicy tomato dip and yoghurt with mint.
Christmas
Year 5 and 6 had a fantastic time at Christmas crafts! They made all sorts of interesting designs and took them home to add to their Christmas decorations. Merry Christmas everyone!
Fire Safety
Year 6 visited the Discovery Museum and took part in a fascinating workshop about life during World War 2! They contributed some fabulous ideas and learned lots!
Fire Safety
Winmarleigh
Children from Year 5 and Year 6 visited the PGL centre at Winmarleigh last weekend for a weekend of adventurous activities. They experienced activities such as climbing, abseiling and raft building as well as taking part in a selection of team building activities. One of the real highlights was the giant swing, which the kids absolutely loved. They represented Rosa Street extremely well and impressed the instructors with their ability to work together. Well done!
RE
We have been learning about the Islamic faith. We had a visit from Zaf, who spoke to us about being a Muslim and what this means for him. He attends a mosque in Sunderland. He told us about praying five times a day and reading the Qur’an.
Year 6 2023/24
Colour Run
Year 6 took part in the colour run and had an absolutely fabulous time while getting extremely messy!
Anatomy
Year 6 examined and dissected pigs’ hearts as part of their science topic on the anatomy of the body. It was a messy job but one that they really enjoyed!
Year 6 Sports
Year 6 attended a net/wall/ball session at Whitworth Park on Friday. They tried badminton, mini tennis, pickleball and volleyball and tried out lots of new games.
NERAP & Northumbria University Students
On Thursday we had a visit from Northumbria University grad students who ran an English escape room with the children. They did a fantastic job! In the afternoon we had a visit from NERAP (The North East Raising Attainment Partnership) who talked to the children about different reasons for considering attending university and the possible benefits of this.
Spennymoor’s New Library
Year 6 visited the new library in Spennymoor leisure centre. We enjoyed exploring the range of books available and have each loaned a book to take back to school until our next visit.
Circuitry
Year 6 have been learning all about circuits in science this term. We used that knowledge to make working buzzer games for our DT project. They were fabulous!
Cracking Christmas Cards
Year 6 have been making Christmas cards to share with people unfortunate enough to have to spend their Christmas in hospital. We included some lovely drawings and some fabulous messages of support, including a few Christmas cracker jokes!
