In Year 5 we have been lucky enough to have people from No Limits Theatre pop in to school to teach us a wide variety of techniques used to make stage productions. They taught us how music can be used to imitate footsteps and other movements around the stage as well as creating atmosphere through song.
Thank you to No Limits Theatre for their visit to school and look out for Year 5 pupils who may appear on a stage near you soon!
Year 5 have been learning to play the Violin as part of their music lesson over term 1. They have covered various notes and learned how to skilfully blend individual notes in to a melody. To achieve this they have used different techniques to produce the sounds including plucking the strings!!
The class still have notes to learn and lessons will resume in January! Keep up the good work!
Over the past term Year 5 have been enjoying their Cookery Club with the school cooks. They have been making different types of cakes and biscuits. I have been reliably informed that all children involved have so far enjoyed their creations!! I think you will agree that their food looks delicious!!
Well done to all our chefs in the making! There are still a chance for those who haven't been involved so far to test their cookery skills in the new term!!
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?
