Hello everyone,

Well it’s been another very busy week at FMPS lots to talk about!

 

Y6 Bread Making

Megan from Chartwells came to help teach Y6 how to make bread. They kneaded the dough and then shaped it forming plaits, flowers and the letters of their names. Thank you to Megan for all her help.

Y5 Science Workshop

On Wednesday Year 5 enjoyed taking part in their science workshop with a forensic scientist. We were given clues and culprits and had to investigate (using evidence) who committed the crime!

Math Café

The Red and Green Class were really lucky to have the chance to have to experience a maths café with parents. Everyone had the chance to play lots of problem-solving games and it was excellent to see pupils with their parents

Y6 Forensic Science

As part of science week, we were tasked to solve a crime using forensic science. A safe had been robbed and the children had to analyse DNA and fingerprints to solve the crime after whittling down a list of suspects. Fortunately, Year 6 solved the crime and the culprit was locked up!

We were so lucky to have a special visitor in school… Jumpstart Jonny! The whole school got involved even some of the teachers! It was lovely see all the children joining in and have lots of fun as you can tell from the links below.

Bridge Making Y5!

This half term in Y5 we are making bridges. Today we investigated truss bridges and worked as a team to make our own using straw and tape. We have experimented on how to ensure our bridge is strong and sturdy and will test them with weights next week.

Forest School Fun

Reception look forward to Forest Fridays every week, where we have a focused activity to participate in. This week, Ladybirds were building their funky fingers by creating leaf silhouettes using squirt paint bottles. They loved hunting for leaves of different shapes and sizes before gluing them down and getting to work! We then had time to learn through play in the Forest.

Once back inside, we warmed up with hot chocolate and flicked through the photographs which Miss Mallen had captured throughout our session, discussing which part of the session we enjoyed the most.

Grasshopper's had an amazing time at Tynemouth Aquarium where they got to see some interesting sea life. They enjoyed watching the wonderful coloured fish and scary sharks swim all around them in the water tunnel as well as exploring in the rock pool encounter where they got to touch a starfish. The seals kept us all entertained at their show, splashing and waving at us. One favourite part was watching and feeding the River Giants from the Amazonian River, we could not believe the size of them.

Retirement

We would like to thank Dennis Parsons for being a fantastic caretaker at FMPS for the last 8.5years.

We would like to thank him from the bottom of our hearts for all of the hard work, friendship and great sense of humour that he has shared with us.

We wish Dennis all of the very best for his retirement and hope that he has the opportunity to relax and spend time with his family.

Thank you Dennis!

 

Getting Married  

Congratulations to Miss Storey who is getting married in the Easter holidays.

We hope that Miss Storey has a fabulous day and honey moon.

We look forward to her returning to school as Mrs French.

 

Year 5 D.T

On Wednesday D.T we have continued our work on structures. We have explored all of the safety procedures needed when working with wood and tools. Then we had a go at marking, measuring, using bench hooks and saws to cut our wood at 10cm intervals. We were extremely sensible and careful when using the tools and wood and are looking forward to sticking the wooden together and creating a wooden truss bridge.

Year 5 Pasta making

On Wednesday Pasta session with Chartwells learning all about making pasta. We rolled the dough and cut it into shapes, we stuffed it with cheese and made a pasta called tortellini. We learnt about carbohydrates and how important they are for us because they give us energy.
