Look at them in action
Reception enjoyed learning about road safety last week.
Crossing the road safely is a very important life skill to learn and we were very proud how maturely our children listened and participated in the activities.
Reception are in search of real life super heroes to work with their children.
We are looking for parent’s. grandparents, aunts, uncles or any extended family that would like to share their job with the year group.
Maybe you are a doctor, a vet, a fire fighter, police officer, nurse, builder, architect… any skilled job we would love to hear from you.
You could come and share your role in school or maybe we could visit your place of work?
If you can help please see any of the reception staff.
Yesterday some of our young mathematicians in year 4 took park in a maths competition using video conferencing technology.
They had to use their knowledge of all four number operations, problem solving, shape and space to work through 6 grueling rounds and competed against other schools in South Tyneside.
As always, our children showed their true skill and talent. Unfortunately they were just pipped to the post but we are very proud of their achievements.
The children from Year 3 have been to Arbeia Roman Fort as part of their history work. They explored the reconstructed buildings and had the chance to dig for real artifacts as part of the Timequest activities run by the museum staff.
They were able to see what life was like for Roman soldiers based at Arbeia nearly 2,000 years ago. As usual, the children were a credit to the school and enjoyed a really interesting visit.

Twelve children from year 2 will be working hard next term to produce a presentation and a working model to enter in a local competition.
They visited the Open Zone CLC just before Easter to learn how to use the software. They worked incredibly hard but had great fun.
