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.
Champion of Champions Competition
This competition is only open to South Tyneside School’s football league winners. Our A team being the Snowdon League winners guaranteed us a place. The competition was played at the Academy of Light on Thursday 20th June. Mortimer faced stiff opposition against some very capable teams. However, we managed two wins and a draw against the five other teams present. Well done to the team for a successful season!
Bart Rippon Cup
This was a very popular competition which saw 17 schools across South Tyneside enter. Mortimer won their group finals. This put them through to the semis which we eventually won on penalties. The final saw another nail biting finish with Mortimer emerging the champions with a Golden Goal!
