View PostA fantastic day with the Newcastle Eagles! We were delighted to welcome the Eagles into school for an inspiring STEM session and a special Year 5 picnic. Our pupils had the opportunity to learn how teamwork, problem-solving, and resilience are just as important off the court as they are on it! The STEM activities sparked curiosity and creativity, while the Year 5 picnic provided a wonderful opportunity for pupils to spend time together, ask the Eagles team questions, and create lasting memories. A huge thank you to the Newcastle Eagles for taking the time to visit and inspire our children. We loved having you with us! #NewcastleEagles #STEMEducation #Year5 #InspiringYoungMinds #Teamwork #SchoolCommunity #MakingMemories #GreatParkAcademy
View PostYear 6 had an unforgettable trip to Beamish Museum! Our pupils stepped back in time and fully immersed themselves in life from years gone by. From descending into the coal mine and riding on historic steam trains to exploring the 1940s farm, there were learning opportunities around every corner. The children also enjoyed discovering Beamish's traditional shops, homes and school, meeting costumed staff, learning about local history, and experiencing what everyday life was like for families across different eras. The hands-on activities and authentic surroundings brought history to life in a way that simply can't be replicated in the classroom. A fantastic day filled with curiosity, adventure and memorable experiences, helping our children deepen their understanding of the past while creating lasting memories with friends. #BeamishMuseum #Year6 #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #HistoryComesAlive #SchoolTrip #CreatingMemories #LoveLearning #GreatParkAcademy #gosforthgroup
