Hello everyone, 

A very busy and fun packed week at FMPS!

The children enjoyed a music concert from Durham Music Service who visited on Wednesday and performed to (Y1 to 6) a variety of well know songs on stringed instruments. Children were introduced to the names of instruments, their parts and the children even tried some conducting! Please click the link to view –

Shiny Readers  - How to Catch a Mermaid - Elaine said she reads this one more often than her other books – she explained how throughout the book, the mermaid gets tricked, and this is what excites her the most. Elaine went on to tell us how she reads this book all by herself! Well done, Elaine.

Pup Saves a Train -Mohammed explained that he really enjoys this book because the main character (the train) helps others in many ways – much like Mohammed. He went on to explain he reads this book with his dad in the morning. Well done, Mohammed!

Anaya shared 'Thumbelina' with us. She explained the story to us really clearly about the tiny little girl and her amazing adventures. Well done, Anaya!

Nawaf introduced his book 'Peter Rabbit, Mystery Thief' very confidently. The story is about where the rabbits' radishes have gone. Nawaf explained that's why it's a mystery!

 As part of our Geography curriculum, Year 5 and 6 have created their own enquiry question, 'What leisure facilities are available to the inhabitants of Framwellgate Moor?'. The pupils have created their own data collection methods, completed their own risk assessments and designed their own route. Today we walked our chosen route to gather data to support our enquiry.

Year 6 Floating Islands 

Mrs Sumega from Framwellgate Comprehensive School visit Y6 this week, along with some Year 7 & 8s. Mrs Sumega was here to help the children with a project based around the 17 global goals in order to help the planet and the environment.

They looked in particular at Bangladesh and their problems with flooding during the wet season and a learnt about a young girl called Tara, who has had to move 7 times due to the weather conditions. The class's challenge was to build a sustainable floating island out of recycled materials, that had an area for chickens and crops.  

After they were made, we tested them on the water to see if they would float in a flood with nearly all being successful. To finish off the project the groups presented their gardens to the rest of their peers telling them why they used certain materials and which areas they had included in order to help Tara.  

Overall, the project was a great success and a big thank you to Mrs Sumega for helping us with it.

Aris’s Time to Shine

It was Aris' time to shine in Ladybird class on Friday 20^th June. He presented The Gruffalo's Child. Aris showed us his favourite page which showed the ‘big, bad mouse’ but Aris explained this character was not actually real, he was just pretending to be scary. Aris then went on to show us what the mouse actually looked like – he was much cuter!

Well done Aris, what a brilliant presentation!
