Year 1 @ The Word
Our Year 1 children enjoyed a delightful visit to children’s library, within The Word. During their trip, they gathered to listen to a football themed story, linked to the Euros, which captivated their imaginations.
Following the story, the children participating in a football craft activity. They had a wonderful time making their very own paper football players.
Each child then had the opportunity to explore the library and choose one special book to bring back to school and help foster a love for reading.
Thank you to staff at The Word for hosting our students and providing such an enriching experience!

Year 4 Library Visit
Year 4 enjoyed their visit to The Word this morning. They completed a quiz about the library then listened to a story ‘The Lost Happy Endings’ by Carol Ann Duffy.
We set up a library ticket for Year 4 and the children were allowed to borrow one book each to read in school. Here they are choosing their books and checking them out.
An Author Visits Reception
Today a very special lady paid a visit to Reception. Pauline Waters, author of ‘Stanley the Seagull’ came to talk to the children all about her job as an author. Pauline read the story ‘Stanley and the Great North Run’ to the children and talked about all of the stages involved in writing and publishing a book. The children asked some very interesting questions and have been inspired to write their own stories! Pauline left the children with one last important message, “everyone can be an author. You just need to start with an idea.”
Thank you Pauline for a wonderful afternoon.
A message from Pauline –
Dear Staff and children
I cannot describe how wonderful it was to talk and listen to you all on Friday. You are inspirational xxx I was just buzzing after my time with you.
Brought back so many happy memories of my teaching years with lovely children.
Thank you and write those stories xxx
Year 5 Library Visit
Year 5 visited the children’s library at The Word today. The library staff told us all about the library and we had a quiz about what we’d learned. We heard some new stories and then had time to select some books to loan. Some of us couldn’t wait to dive into our new books and even took them outside to read on the playground at lunchtime. We are already looking forward to our next visit.
Year 4 visit to Arbeia
Year 4 had a fantastic visit to Arbeia Roman Fort today and the children were very lucky to avoid the bad weather throughout the day.
First, they enjoyed the ‘Roman Soldier Touch Tour’ which was an interactive tour of the site looking at real and replica artefacts bringing the history of Arbeia and the lives of the Roman soldiers to life.
Then, the children explored various artefacts in the Museum.
Finally, through the ‘Time Quest’ Dig activity, the children took on the role of archaeologists, and using real artefacts, discovered how to interpret excavated finds to explore the past from a range of sources of information to enable them to piece together the story of Roman life along the frontier.
First Holy Communion Going Forth Mass
On Sunday, the First Holy Communion children celebrated their ‘Going Forth’ Mass, where they received their certificates from Fr Bill.
Here they are together and with their Catechists.
