Our Y5/6 Girls Footballers played their next round of South Tyneside CVL fixtures. They faced some difficult games today, but worked tirelessly and supported each other well. They won three games and drew one. Our next round of fixtures will determine where we finish in this year’s league. Well done Girls!
Our Y5/6 Hockey team took part in the South Tyneside In2Hockey Tournament at Boldon School. They played brilliantly as a team and showed off some great skills. Our 6 Hockey players came home with a third place medal 🥉 Well done!
Every week, Year Six have a problem solving lesson where they work together in groups to tackle tricky maths problems. This week, our new theme was trial and improvement so we realised very quickly that the only way to approach this unit was to try and improve every time, therefore we needed to be resilient when we didn’t get the correct answer first time around. Working together, we thought about what we know from the question, what we don’t know and what the question is asking us to do and highlighted this in different colours to represent this. After this, we identified that in order to answer this question, we would need to remember what square numbers were and how to identify them. We did this together as a class so that we could use this information when trying different options. Finally, we worked as a group to consider different possibilities and by the end of the lesson, we created a circle using all of the numbers in the blue box. The excitement throughout our classrooms was amazing when we found solutions!
Well done Year 6, we are very proud of how resilient you were.
Today, some of our Year 6 children attended an MMA experience event. They had lots of fun learning different techniques and skills!
On Monday, Year 6 became immersed in all things history as they ventured to Newcastle to visit the Discovery Museum to undertake a workshop about WW1 and WW2. They were able to explore artefacts from the time and think about how people lived during this era of history. They then took part in a rationing activity where they had to think about how preparing meals for a family for a week with limited resources. They enjoyed using rationing books to purchase different resources and it really made them think about how limited food resources were during this time.
After this, they enjoyed exploring the rest of the museum and their favourite exhibit was definitely the Science Lab where they were able to explore light which is their new topic. a fun day was had by all and it certainly opened our mind to how life was during the wars.
Our SSOC students had their first meeting at Temple Park. Our SSOC students had an opportunity to experience a number of Leadership focused events, whilst playing an important role back at St Aloysius – as successful sports role models!
Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed their green treat today where they were able to spend quality time together sharing games. Fun was had by all.
Well done for such a fantastic first half term Year Six. You have all worked incredibly hard and made amazing progress. Keep up the fantastic work next half term!
The Year 6 pupils represented St Aloysius in the South Tyneside Dodgeball Competition this afternoon. After a great start in their league, they finished 2nd and qualified for the semi-finals. However, after a tightly fought semi-final and a sudden death ending the children were knocked out of the competition. They should all be very proud of themselves for both their performances but also their positive attitudes and excellent manners throughout the afternoon. Well done
