A little information for our Y6 parents: key details about the tests to help you understand how and when the tests will be administered, how the tests will be marked and how the school will support your child throughout the tests.
Just a gentle reminder that all children should have a full PE kit in school at all times. We are very lucky to be able to offer an even wider PE curriculum over the summer term and we have many external coaches and extra activities planned for all children throughout the school. These activities may not be on the timetabled days children are used to, please ensure your child’s indoor and outdoor kit is available in school at all times.
A copy of our PE kit can be found in the school brochure by clicking this link.
The A team represented South Tyneside in the High 5 School Games Tyne and Wear Finals. Hundreds of schools competed to get through to this stage so we did fantastically well to come third in the competition, winning bronze medals. As always, the behaviour of our pupils was of the highest standard, with teachers from other schools complimenting them on their excellent manners. They were a credit to our school!
On Thursday March 15th, Segedunum Roman Fort was invaded by our Year 3 classes!
They had a fantastic day learning about what it was like for both Celts and Romans. Story telling, bracelet making, hand-painting, marching practice, polishing shields and learning how the Roman soldiers used their shields and swords all helped the children enjoy a real hands on experience. Great fun!
On Wednesday March 14th, thirty children from our school choir represented Mortimer Primary in Durham Cathedral’s Outreach concert.
The children had worked very hard to learn a selection of songs which ranged from ‘The Hippopotamus Song’ by Flanders and Swann to ‘Panis Angelicus’ which they performed in Latin.
After the Easter break the whole choir will be performing these songs for their family and friends to enjoy.
Mrs Batson’s class were inspired to investigate which materials float when a pupil brought in a model boat made from toilet roll tubes and an egg box! They tested out a variety of materials and had a lot of fun doing it.
Y6 enjoyed a visit following the route of the River Tyne from Newburn back to the Mouth of the River in South Shields.
