Our Year 5’s took part in a dodgeball festival held at Willowburn Leisure Centre. The focus of the festival was on participating, having fun and developing skills both physically and socially, rather than winning or losing. Our teams made us proud!

 

We would like to thank Rachel and William from Billy Shiels Farne Island Boat Trips for allowing the trip to the Farne Islands to take place. The children saw grey seals, puffins, guillemots and many more seabirds as well as the Longstone Lighthouse. They had a brilliant time and luckily the weather was perfect for a morning at sea!

As we work closely with the Newcastle United Foundation, we were given the opportunity to attend a football tournament at St Michael's Primary in Alnwick. Our Year 6’s wanted to jump at the chance o showcase their talents. Therefore, instead of visiting St James Park, they were offered the chance to represent Seahouses Primary at the event. They made us so proud by winning every game they played!

 

Here at Seahouses Primary we have been working in partnership with the Newcastle United Foundation closely for many years now and were excited when we had the opportunity to take the Year 5 and 6 pupils to St James Park in Newcastle for a stadium tour and then went on to visit the training facility that Newcastle United use themselves. We pride ourselves on the fact that we can offer these experiences to the children, who thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

 

We welcomed ‘Lola the molar’ from Genix Dental Practice to speak to the children about the importance of good oral hygiene and the importance of why we brush our teeth. The children engaged brilliantly with the workshop and learned that making sure you look after your baby teeth is just as important as your adult teeth and to drink water after having sugary foods and drinks to keep your mouth healthy. With the rising rates of child tooth decay naturally, please remember to book your appointments regularly with your dentist.

Thank you to the Coop of Seahouses for sending the Year 6 pupils some yummy treats for completing their SATs. This gesture was hugely appreciated by the children who all worked so hard in the lead up to and during their examinations.

 

Last week, Rick Turton aka Professor Brainstorm visited the school to deliver a science themed assembly. He wowed all of us with his amazing experiments based around chemistry and physics. With some amazing assistance from some of the children and staff he demonstrated topics including electricity, noise, light and projectiles which I’m sure the children rushed home to tell you about!
