@FallaParkSchool’s Year 6 have loved exploring our class author, @HGold_author, on #WorldBookDay. We’ve created our own Levi Pinfold inspired covers based on an endangered animal of our choice. We can’t wait to share the final pieces!@Miss_Carr_Falla @MrsBarter_Falla pic.twitter.com/I9GW5Hjv9V

Today we were joined by our new school governor Councillor Kasfikis, who is also our local councillor. He was very useful in today’s PSHE lesson our local government. We look forward to exploring Gateshead Civic Centre with him soon!@Mrs_ARowan @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/rchp5x7UZV

Something strange has appeared in our classroom 👀 just like the characters in our book The Nowhere Emporium we were curious as we gathered around the door with many questions.@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @MrsBarter_Falla pic.twitter.com/P2NlzPMf8u

Today, Year 6 started their new text in English. We were provided with an extract and tasked to design the setting based on the author’s description.@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @MrsBarter_Falla pic.twitter.com/x9p8c24r8Q

@FallaParkSchool’s Year 6 are proud of their entries to @GatesheadSSP’s Excellence Blazing the Trail. It linked perfectly with Children’s Mental Health Week as we created our own habitats and ecosystems! pic.twitter.com/JutUpbm6TR

Today, some of @FallaParkSchool’s Year 5 and 6 attended a boccia competition with @GatesheadSSP. We enjoyed trying a different sport and were thrilled to come second in both our group stages🥈@FPMrsMcMillan @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/171vaiq59T

Year 6 have created a 3D version of our Big Picture Model as we looked at the components and functions of blood. Next time you see us @Mrs_Crellin make sure you ask us what the red and white blood cells do!@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/HTUTXuJMY2

Year 6 had an afternoon of mess and chaos as we created our own Big Picture Model of the human body to show our organs. We retrieved the functions and names from the trays of slime to add to our work.@FallaParkSchool @Mrs_Crellin @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/uJajN2r5f4

In Science, Y6 have looked at the adaptations of arctic animals. Two children became polar bears as they placed their hands in the ice water before we looked at adding layers of fat. We made bar charts to show our results. 🐻❄️🥶❄️@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Mrs_Crellin pic.twitter.com/2WHQ3n4iKb

In English we became Sir Ernest Shackleton as we created questions to answer in the role. We used Teach Mate AI to inspire us before entering the hot seat. @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Miss__McVeigh @MrsBarter_Falla @Animate2Educate pic.twitter.com/fzIoFFQS9R

In RE, Year 6 thought about whether things can last forever. We sorted images into what we think can and can’t last forever before talking about things we wish to last forever.@FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Miss_Atkinson4 pic.twitter.com/k0CpamLPDL

In Science, Year 6 were tasked with putting Darwin’s theory to the test. We used different sized tweezers and sweets to act as the different seeds and Galapagos Finches. @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @Mrs_Crellin pic.twitter.com/Wgo5KAGJwu
