Educational Visits,Year 5/6 - 2015/2016

Cosmic Classroom & 500 Words

By N Noble2nd February 2016


Today, Year 5/6 were part of a ground-breaking Live Video session with the International Space Station (ISS) and British Astronaut Tim Peake.  We played a part in an educational event that was streamed in 58 different countries, was the number one trend on Twitter and reached over 7 million users!

Tim says, “Looks like we’ve got some serious competition for zero-g fun!”…see what he means by clicking here!!!!

The International Space Station with ESA’s Columbus laboratory flies 400 km high at speeds that defy gravity – literally. At 28 800 km/h it only takes 90 minutes for the weightless laboratory to make a complete circuit of Earth. Astronauts working and living on the Station experience 16 sunrises and sunsets each day.

You can track the ISS by clicking here…

…or here!!!


This is the view from ISS last night (02/01/16) – Tim said, “Tonight’s International Space Station pass over UK – anyone watching?…I waved.”

And what is even more impressive is… you can see the ISS from where you are… the best times are in the evening…

…click here to see the times when you might just get to see the ISS if the weather is on your side!

We watched as he performed simple experiments in space to show us the challenges faced by astronauts on a daily basis.

We are also participating, for the first time, in the Radio 2 competition to write a story in 500 words…

Year 5/6 - 2015/2016

Beamish visit – 17th – BUS LEAVES 0930

By N Noble2nd February 2016
Dunn Street are proud to have been asked by Beamish Museum to participate in the ‘Just One Spark’ programme currently being run by Beamish Museum (click here for more information).
Due to our proximity to the location of Hebburn Pit, our Year 5/6 class received a visit from Elisabeth a member of their outreach team.
This year celebrates the 200th anniversary of the trials of the ‘Davy’ mining lamp. The lamp designed by Sir Humphrey Davy was trialed at Hebburn Pit following action taken by the government to improve mine safety as a result of the Felling Mining disaster of 1815 that killed  300 miners.
Elisabeth brought some artifacts that the miners would have used early in the nineteenth century. The children also took part in some map work and used archive material to find out about the Felling Disaster.



As part of the package, our Y5/6 children will visit Beamish Museum on February 4th to take part in a workshop to see how the explosions occurred. There will be a chance to go into the drift mine and look at the Miners’ cottages.
There’s also a Half Term offer for everyone at school to get into Beamish Museum for £5.00, with Beamish providing a coach from Dunn Street  directly to the museum, free of charge... click here to visit the museum website.
Why not take advantage of this brilliant offer, this February half term?

Pitmen Painters and Mining at Woodhorn Colliery

By N Noble23rd January 2016

Year 5/6 visited Woodhorn Colliery Museum (click to visit their website) as part of their Geography and Art curriculum this term.  Here are some of the children’s single sentence responses to the day:

“When we went on our excursion to Woodhorn Colliery, I had a fun time having a look at the fan and doing art work with the graphite pencil.”

Levanah

“After our trip to Woodhorn Colliery, I remember getting a fright when the massive fan that made a lot of noise, turned on…the fan’s job was to get all of the gas out of the mine.”

Millie

“Since we went on an excursion to Woodhorn Colliery, I have learnt that artists use graphite as well as oil paints.”

Keisha

“Having visited Woodhorn Collier, my favourite part was learning that miners had pretty much no protection and wore everyday clothes.”

Shayden

“Now that I have visited Woodhorn Colliery, which was the best trip I’ve been on, I know that a big, noisy fan sucked up all the bad air from the mines and saved people’s lives… also a lot of machines ran using steam.”

Kayla

“Having visited Woodhorn Colliery, I enjoyed seeing the videos and having a tour: I learnt what it was like to be a miner.”

Kimberly

“As I looked at the picture at Woodhorn Colliery, it gave me images of what it would be like down the mine.”

Simone

“Having visited Woodhorn Colliery, I can remember that carbon monoxide was one of the biggest killers.”

Tyler

“Now that I have been to Woodhorn Colliery, the works of art, which were the originals, seemed intriguing and special.”

Olivia

“Having visited Woodhorn Colliery, the thing I enjoyed the most was the art (it is my favourite subject) because I love to sketch and create.”

Bailey

“After our trip to Woodhorn Colliery, I learnt a lot of things like how old you could be to go down the mine and how to draw with graphite which was quite hard.”

Emily

“After our trip to Woodhorn Colliery, I learnt that there were two shafts, which were very strong, so you wouldn’t get trapped if one comes down.”

Mark

“When we visited Woodhorn Colliery, I wore an amazing hat which was used to keep the miners safe – I also learned a lot about the Pitmen Painters who were mostly miners.”
