On Tuesday 20th March Year 4 were visited by Andrew Bridge, Darius Defoe, Joel Chapman and Paul Gause of the Newcastle Eagles basketball team. The players helped us to improve our basketball skills and our fitness during a P.E lesson. They also gave us a lot of information about how to be healthy and keep fit. We found out how to measure our pulse and that we need to drink plenty of water every day, especially if we are going to be exercising.
After teaching us some basketball skills The Eagles then took the opportunity to come to our classroom and talk to us about our local community including what a community is and how we should respect the community around us.
Recently in Reception class we have been doing lots of writing using our Read, Write, Inc. sounds. We have also been making use of the nice weather to enjoy some time in our outdoor area.
Keep up the good work everyone!! :)
This week Year 5 visited the Civic Centre in Gateshead to attend a "Show Racism The Red Card" event. They met some famous ex-footballers: Trevor Benjamin (Leicester City), Gary Bennett (Sunderland) as well as John Anderson and Olivier Bernard (Newcastle United).
Logan and Kaya won prizes for their questions at the event!
The girls look comfortable as they prepare to ask questions whilst sat in the chairs of the councillors.
Olivier Bernard leads the group in an activity watched closely by Gary Bennett.
One last photo we promise! Some of the class posed for a final photo with the former professionals at the end of the day!
Year 5 took part in a basketball tournament at Gateshead International Stadium as part of a scheme ran by the Newcastle Eagles who had been visiting the school for some of our PE lessons.
Everyone played well and had a great time!! Well done!!
In recent weeks Year 4 have been creating purses as part of their design technology work. Mrs Wilson brought in some examples for them to look at before they put their own ideas on to paper to plan what they would like to do. Once they had finished their planning the pupils then practised threading needles and sewing before they could move on to the real thing. They hope you enjoy their finished purses that you can see below!!
Well done to the whole class for completing this project!!
We love investigating outside!
These boys are looking for bugs!
We love making music in our outdoor classroom!
A massive thank you needs to go to all the parents that helped to make the event such a huge success. I'm sure everybody will agree that it was the best day of their lives- it was defiantly the greatest year 6 leaving party in the history of Caedmon. Take a look at the photos at the bottom for some of the highlights...
Remember - the year six leaver's assembly is this Friday (22nd July), due to start at approximately 9:10 am. Hope to see you all there!
Never mind the Tyne and Wear derby. Forget about that small game the two Manchester clubs play twice a season. This was the derby to end all derbies - Caedmon Vs Brighton Avenue! A grudge match like never before, the two schools met this evening for the first time in years in a winner takes all showdown (i.e. a friendly!). After such a huge build up, normally the game would disappoint but not in this instance. Despite home advantage in favour of Brighton Avenue, it was our beloved Caedmon that came out victorious winners, 2-1. Ryan Barrass set up Jack Wood in the first half with the boys swapping roles in the second half, Jack setting up Ryan for his first of the school season. Despite some late tension and a goal, the children managed to hang on thanks to some amazing teamwork as well as mind-boggling saves from Joseph 'The Cat' Vickers. All in all, a great evening!
Victory never tasted this sweet!

Would you choose to mess with this man?
And how about this chap?
Any guesses on what this was used for?
