Ross Storey from Northumbria Police visited year five and six this week and talked to us about staying safe online. We discussed the potential dangers of social media and Ross gave us strategies that we can use if something online makes us feel uncomfortable or unsafe. We also talked about deep fakes and the use of A.I. Hopefully with the information Ross gave us, we know what we can do to keep ourselves safe when we are online.

On Thursday 5th October, we played our first fixtures in the girls team tournament. We have attached a match report and a photo!
Year 5 had a very festive day at the Openzone. We created our own Christmas decoration designs and then watched the 3D printer laser print and then cut out our designs on wood! We then used programming software to build a snowman with music and animation. It was a very merry day all round.
Year 5 had an amazing day at Jarrow Hall learning all about life in an Anglo-Saxon village. We heard the heroic story of Beowulf around the fire in the Great Mead Hall; visited the animals and discussed the natural resources they provide the settlement; created our own magical, pagan amulets; and were part of a moot to judge crime and punishment in the settlements.
