Year 3 & 4 Hindu Visitor

Yesterday Year 3 and 4 had a special visitor, Kirtida from Newcastle Hindu Temple. She came with lots of exciting Hindu artefacts and clothing for us to explore. We enjoyed finding out lots of interesting information about the Hindu religion, we listened to Kirtida sing, chant and play her special drum. We ended the session with some fun dressing up and questions and answers!

Year 6 World War 2 trip

Year 6 had a trip to see inside the Victoria tunnel in Newcastle to learn more about life during WW2. We all had a brilliant time and their behaviour was excellent. Well done Year 6!

World Book Day!

Today, we celebrated world book day in school and dressed up as our favourite book or story characters, or in comfy clothes, for a day of reading and book related activities! We started the day with an assembly by Mrs Knott to talk about Reading and why it is not only important, but also lots of FUN to do! Reading a good book can transport you anywhere you want to go! We also watched a video Mc Grammar, who raps words as lyrics from books! We all really enjoyed listening to him talk about different stories and genres and hearing...

Chick measuring!

The heaviest chick is 100g or 21 cubes (Year 1 have been measuring in cubes, while Year 2 measure in grams!) I wonder how big they will be when they are fully grown?

Making Volcanoes in Year 4

Year 4 have been studying Natural Disasters last half term. In geography, we investigated a variety of disasters such as; volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis and floods. In Computing, we used Excel to create graphs and charts about earthquakes. In English, we wrote instructions about How to Make Your Own Volcano. In art we followed these instructions. We made our own paper mâché volcano with newspaper and PVA glue. Once it was dry we painted it. After that, we made a chemical reaction with bicarbonate of soda, vinegar, washing up liquid and warm water; this made the volcano explode. We had great...

Y5 Trip – Sunderland Winter Gardens

On Tuesday, year 5 had an excellent day visiting Sunderland Winter Gardens. We spent the morning completing a scavenger hunt in the rainforest for clues. We also had time in the afternoon to explore the museum. The children had a fabulous day!

Achievement, Teaching, Behaviour and Leadership

Welcome to our Academy… As Headteacher of Riverside Primary Academy, I would like to warmly welcome you to our school website. I hope you can find all of the information you require about our school here, but if you have any further questions, please ring us and ask. The Governing Body, the Leadership Team and I have a very clear vision of what we want and how to get the best deal for our children and the community we serve. For this reason, we made the decision in 2012 to become an academy. This means we have been given the freedom to make choices for our school which bring the most benefits to our children and our families. We are no longer a Local Authority school and therefore, there are some differences in the way we do things at our school to the way they are done in others. … Read More
