Thank you so much to everyone who supported our very first book swap. The quality of the books was beautiful and the range of genres was extensive to say the least. There was certainly something for everyone! We hope the children enjoyed the chance to choose some new reading material and have a lovely time reading their new books over half term.
If you are looking for activities to keep them busy and active during half term, then this is a perfect opportunity for you!
Also, we’re offering a FREE place and some free prizes via the link here for those using Facebook… https://www.facebook.com/Start2finishSports
Kind regards,

Reception went on a walk to the Readhead Park to find out about Autumn and look at seasonal changes. They talked about road safety when walking there. They looked at different types of trees and how leaves change colour.
Thank you to Mark Gibson, a land developer for South Tyneside Council, for taking the time to come and support our Lego Team this week.
The children are taking part in a global competition called : First Lego League. One of the many tasks they have to complete is to create a plan for something in their local community which could change, improve and support their town.
Mark, a land developer currently working on the Holborn Development in South Shields, talked to the children about his role on this project; the ideas for the land in the future and how ideas like these are created, planned and implemented. The children thoroughly enjoyed his visit and learnt a lot from his sound advice.

During Book Week (week commencing 21st October), we will be hosting our very first book swap event. We would like the KS2 children to have a look at home to see if they have any books they no longer read. For every book your child brings in to school, they will receive a token which they can then ‘spend’ on another book in the book swap. Books should be in a good condition and appropriate for your child’s year group. Children can bring in their books any day up until Tuesday 22nd October. We hope this will be a fantastic opportunity for your children to restock their bookshelves with some new and exciting reading material.
