If children wish to, they are welcome to wear their Christmas jumper again on Friday with their school uniform.
Our choir proudly performed at the Co-op South Shields Funeral Care Memorial Service helping to raise £250 for Cancer Connections on the evening.
As always we were very proud of all of the children who took part in this very special service at St Hilda’s Church.
A great time was had at Y3’s Christmas party this year!

Congratulations to Ellen, one of our school chefs, who has won two North of England and Scotland cooking competitions. She came away with two gold medals for her mince pie and edible Christmas tree decorations.
We are very proud of her achievements!
Well done to all of our KS1 and Reception children who performed three fabulous Nativity performances to a packed house each time.
Great work!
It was our last Science club this week and it involved making raisins dive! We carefully mixed some ingredients together to make a solution and dropped in some raisins. Not all of the raisins were feeling up to the challenge but eventually some of them started to dive! The children who have attended the club this half term have been nothing but a pleasure to work alongside. They have brought with them enquiring minds and a willingness to learn. We hope they have enjoyed themselves.
The Y5/6 children performed a fantastic Christmas Carol Concert at Westoe Methodist Church today for an audience of Y5 parents and relatives. Well done to all the children and the staff for their hardwork.
There will be a second show tomorrow afternoon for Y6 parents and relatives.
The Lego Club had a fantastic time at The Word for the First League LEGO Competition. They completed robot missions and shared their Into Orbit project with the judges. They performed exceptionally well and won the prize for ‘Best Teamwork.’ Mrs Stelling and Miss Anderson were very proud mentors.
Katie’s Garden came into school to work with some Y3 children after school. They had a great time making jars of slime.
