  • The Home of Cars (Well, one of them)

    Published 20/09/17

    On Monday 12th of June, 6NS travelled to Nissan in Sunderland (the other classes went on later dates) by bus supplied by Nissan themselves- no complicated metro journeys. We started off by getting into 5 teams of 6; red, orange, yellow, green and blue (first 5 colours of the rainbow!) Our 1st task was to create our own car with our partners using the LEGO set they supplied us with, no instructions. Then, we had to show everyone our cars and tell them the name. TOO MUCH PRESSURE!

  • Hitting the Bright Lights of the Capital

    Published 05/09/17

    As dawn rose over Newcastle railway station at 8 o’clock in the morning, a group of Year 8 students gathered haphazardly, all waiting for the train to London. Even though there was a three-hour train ride to endure, we were all more hyper than a toddler on Haribo. Some bags were more sizeable than others and some had rather strange items inside! Having eventually arrived in London, we all traipsed into the London Underground station then emerged blinking in the sunlight and into the hot, humid air of the capital. However, we had barely arrived at the hotel when it was time to get moving again. Another short journey on the tube and we arrived at the Natural History Museum.

    Published 05/09/17

    The penultimate week at GEMS is traditionally Curriculum Week when the timetable is collapsed and the year groups mixed so that a theme can be explored in a cross curricular and more flexible, and often more practical, way. This year’s theme was Community. After the tragic events in London and Manchester, it seemed particularly appropriate that we should be thinking about our own community and remembering what makes it so special, so strong and so precious.

  • Walk on the Wild Side

    Published 15/06/17

    On Wednesday the 10th May, ten people from Year 5 Book Club (a club where you get to read and talk about books that you might not pick up yourself) went to the Theatre Royal to see ‘Running wild’, which is a play adapted from the book by Michael Morpuro.
