Loudmouth Workshop

Year 5 and 6 were invited to a workshop with Loudmouth today, a theatre in education company, who taught us all about how to stay safe online. We covered lots of different scenarios with the team who taught us about misinformation, disinformation and how to spot these online. We also went over what to do if we see something online that upsets us, and who we can discuss this with.

Well done to all the players and in particular the winning team of Harry B, Lukas Z, Lochlan O’D and Luful S. Let’s wish them luck for the final in a couple of months time.

Girls Football Tournament

On Thursday we took a team to the Year 5/6 Girls T&W tournament at TCAT. We won our first 2 group matches and drew our third meaning we went through to the semi finals which we also won 2-0. In the final we played against Old Park, the game finished 0-0 after extra time so we went to penalties where we unfortunately lost. Although it was tough to lose the final on penalties the girls showed fantastic attitude and togetherness the whole tournament, highlighted especially by the fact they only conceded 1 goal in the 5 games they played.

Year 5 Spelling Bee Competition!

On Thursday 26th February, 8 lucky Year 5 students were invited along to take part in the Haberdashers’ Adams annual Spelling Bee Competition!

Children took part in 6 rounds, all based on Spelling Rules that they have learnt throughout their time in Years 3 -5!

Round 1: Spelling Bee – Our Captain Webb Spelling Bees were tasked with correctly spelling 30 tricky words!

Round 2: The Beehive – A quick 8 minute round where children needed to find as many words as possible ensuring that they used the middle letter in all their words!

Round 3: Crossword – The teams were given clues to uncover words that were needed to fill in the crossword gaps… and ensure they spelt them correctly too!

Round 4: Anagrams – A difficult challenge but not for our spelling superstars! They needed to unscramble the letters to work out the answer to one-lined clues.

Round 5: Guess the word – Children read the challenging riddles to guess the mystery word.

Final Round: Escape room – The Spelling Detectives were asked to crack the 10 digit code by answering word related clues that were all to do with spelling.

The children had so much fun and Mrs Cottrell is so proud of their determination and effort! Well done!!
