French Club 2022 – 19.7.22
Dear parents/carers of pupils in KS2,
Across the year, Miss Beattie has hosted several KS2 French parties. Children were invited along as they had been working really hard in French lessons. Children had the opportunity to indulge in some French cuisine including: french fries, pain au chocolat, croissant, crepes, baguette, brie and lots of them even tried snails!!!
Everyone had an excellent time and Mademoiselle Beattie is already planning ahead for next year!
Have a little watch of our video…who can you spot?

KS2 Sports Day

13th July 2022A Stelling

KS2 had a fantastic time competing in their Houses on Sports Day. Each class took part in 12 different sporting games amassing points as the morning progressed.

All children then took part in races within their year groups. A lovely morning had by all involved.
Well done KS2.

Y3/4 Cricket Triumph!

30th June 2022A Stelling

Well done to 16 of our year 3 and 4 pupils, who represented our school at the South Tyneside School Sport Network Y3/4 Countdown Cricket Festival 2022.

We took a Y3 team and a Y4 team, both were very strong on the day!

The Y3 team won three out of four of their matches. Y4 won all four of their matches.

The overall winner for the tournament was our Y4 team with a huge 394 runs over the four matches on the day.

Lots of talented cricketers in both teams, who we hope may go on to represent our school in years to come. As always our pupils were fantastic ambassadors for our school and displayed fantastic sportsmanship and manners.

Well done!

KS2 Success! – 17.5.22
Dear all,

Monday morning’s assembly focused on celebrating the many achievements of our lovely KS2 children. 

We started by giving out certificates to the children who had entered the national ‘If I Were an Engineer’ competition. All children who entered achieved either passes, merits or distinctions and some were even shortlisted winners with distinction: well done to our budding engineers! A special Congratulations to Harriet and Ibrahim, both from Mr Douglas’s class, who have been chosen as the North East Y3 winners and have been invited to an awards ceremony on Monday 23rd May at the Discovery Museum! 

Congratulations to our Reading Champions! These KS2 children were nominated by their teachers for their exceptional effort in reading recently. One of our lucky nominees had their name picked out of a hat and is taking home a £10 voucher to spend on books of their choice. A huge well done to you all!

Finally, Eva – from Miss Anderson’s class – showcased her dancing medals and trophies after being awarded First Place in the NCDTA North East Juvenile Tap Championship. What a fantastic achievement! 

Well done everyone!

Y6 – And just like that it’s done!

12th May 2022Mr Bennett

Dear all,

The final ‘end of KS2 paper’ or ‘SAT’ has been completed today and we couldn’t be any prouder of every single child. They have given 100% and that is all we could ask.

But it is not just this week, but in the weeks and months leading to this point. Their resilience after two challenging years has shone through and no matter what results come back, the children are a credit to themselves. They deserve success now and in the future.

Throughout the week, every test has been taken in their stride and the camaraderie between the pupils has been heart-warming. Weirdly, this week is often one children remember for the positive feelings and being part of the group taking on the challenge and conquering it together. They have done this in spades!

We understand that SATs don’t measure their ability to be creative, play sports, be musical, be kind or measure how gifted they are. But the children have taken them as a chance to shine in reading, English and maths. Their attitude this week cannot be questioned and this bodes them well for the challenges of secondary school and beyond.

So it leaves us just to say “Your children are amazing” …but I’m guessing you already knew this!

Thank you for your support not only this week, but throughout your child’s journey with us.

Well done Year 6!

Y5 Artwork Display – 31.1.22
Dear all,
Year 5 have been coming up with their own ideas about what we’re missing in the world and seeing their chosen idea through to a final design.
Challenged by local-born artist and inventor Dominic Wilcox, children’s artwork and first names can be sent to  https://www.littleinventors.org/ideas/ and displayed on their website.
Please let the school know if you have any objections/questions about your child’s work being displayed in this way. If you are happy for this to go ahead, we will let you know when your child’s work has been uploaded so you can see their creative designs for yourself.
Many thanks
