Thank you so much for supporting our whole school Teddy Bear Picnic for Action Research 2019. Our children enjoyed a very exciting assembly with their bears and then shared their treats.
We will post the amount raised for this fantastic charity on our next newsletter.
On Tuesday 2nd of July Mrs Allan’s class took part in the KS1 Outdoor Adventurous Activity Festival in the South Marine Park. In two teams, the children tackled the orienteering course around the park, working together to read the map collect clues and building materials. They then rescued a bear and built a house for him. As always their behaviour was exemplary and everyone had a fabulous afternoon.
Y6 had an amazing day at Beamish to complement their topic about World War Two. They experienced life on the farm during the war, they were treat like evacuees and completed cooking, home guard drills and black out preparations.
As always, our children were complemented on their excellent manners and behavior throughout the day. We would like to say thank you to the parents and relatives for dressing their children for the occasion.
Y6 enjoyed a Teddy Bear Picnic for Action Research in the glorious Sun today.
Thank you for all donations to this fantastic charity.
On Wednesday, 3rd July birds of prey experts came to visit year 4. They brought six birds with them, five owls and a falcon. We were told all sorts of interesting facts about the birds, including the fact that Florence Nightingale used to carry a Little Owl in her pocket! The children had the opportunity not just to handle the birds, but also to fly them!
Year 2 received letters from the Year 2 children at Harton Primary School telling them what they enjoyed doing at school and asking them questions about what our school is like. Here is a photo of year 2 reading their letters. They then wrote a reply letter.
On Monday 1st July, 20 children took place in the South Tyneside School Sport Network Years 3 and 4 Cricket Festival at Westoe Cricket Club. 10 schools from across the borough took part and the standard of sportsmanship was outstanding from all. A huge congratulations goes out to our group winners in Year 3 who won all of their games and to our team in Year 4 who won all but one of theirs. We would like to thank Westoe Cricket Club for hosting this year’s festival as well as all of the staff and young sport leaders who helped to organise and facilitate the day. Well done on a fantastic day of cricket!
On Tuesday, 2nd July we will be having a Bring Your Bear Day in school. Children are allowed to bring their teddy bear to school for a minimum donation of 50p which will go to Action Medical Research into childhood illnesses.
Please note children in 5SK should bring their Bear on the above date for Assembly, but will have their picnic on the afternoon of Wednesday 3rd July.
Please note as children in Year 6 will be out of school on this day, they will celebrate their Bring Your Bear Day on Thursday 4th July.
Can children please bring a packet of crisps and a small carton of juice (no fizzy) for a picnic on the Wednesday.
The team recently played in a competition held at South Shields Cricket Club. An unprecedented forty teams entered. Teams were played in several groups. Mortimer A, B and C teams were all group winners. The team that went through to the county was decided on runs scored only. Unfortunately our teams didn’t quite secure enough runs which saw St Bedes victorious with Mortimer A coming second.
