A huge THANK YOU to the astronomers from @kielder_obs who visited our school and took us on a journey into space! It was a fantastic experience for the children - and staff! @bentondeneprim
A few pictures from yesterday's trip to @Beamish_Museum It was such a great day - I think the children definitely prefer school now to the Victorian times! @bentondeneprim
As an introduction to our unit of work in English this term, we gave the children some fake news. It certainly provoked some strong feelings. Ask them about it & how it links with our learning. @bentondeneprim
Another big congratulations to our Y5 dancers who performed fantastically at the Whitley Bay Playhouse - we got our certificates this morning! @bentondeneprim
A wonderful morning filled with lots of excellent teamwork in order to achieve success in building a river model! Great job, Y5. @bentondeneprim #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork
Congrats to our Top 3 winners in our Blooket quiz! Your knowledge of the planets is out of this world @bentondeneprim
We explored reversible and irreversible changes today. This ended with an exciting experiment which created a chemical reaction that inflated a balloon! The children were so enthused by it, they might be wanting to try this again at home 😁 @bentondeneprim

Thanks to ANDRELLI for coming in to play for us today. We loved hearing all about a string quartet @bentondeneprim
Thanks to our fabulous music hub @NTMEH for organising this fantastic opportunity!
As part of aspirations week, we enjoyed a visit from some parents who are doctors. They shared lots of fascinating facts about the medical profession and also let us try out some of their equipment. @bentondeneprim
This afternoon, we spent time on our mental health and well-being. After visiting Winnie Sugarswirl’s Sweetshop, we were inspired to create our own sweet which has a special power to improve our wellbeing. @bentondeneprim @mortalfoolsuk #MELVASchool
So proud of our basketball team after their game on Friday evening @VertuArena with the @NewcastleEagle ! You were brilliant!
Huge THANK YOU to our visitor who came into class last week to tell us about his life as a Muslim. It was a great opportunity to learn about Islam & to get our questions answered. @bentondeneprim

A huge well done to our Y5 basketball team at the recent basketball tournament held at the Vertu Arena. Out of the 38 participating teams, our champions emerged victorious, securing a spot to play at the Newcastle Eagles game on the 2nd of February. 🏀 @year5bdp @bentondeneprim
A fantastic day yesterday at the Newcastle Eagles venue. The basketball skills were incredible & both teams should be so proud of themselves for their attitudes, teamwork & for being good sports. Congratulations Y5! @bentondeneprim @BentonDenePE
Yesterday, we were introduced to long multiplication. There were a few frazzled brains but overall, we did really well! Let’s see what today brings…. @bentondeneprim
