we shine in all that we do.
Our Y3 mini archaeologists enjoyed an interesting Stone-Bronze Age day at Durham’s Museum of Archaeology! We learned about the chronology of Prehistory and analysed an exciting range of ancient artefacts. The children completed an exciting gallery trail and also considered what we could deduce from the bones of a skeleton. Y3 conducted themselves superbly throughout the visit and even took in some of the sites of a picturesque Durham.
Well done to one of our Year 6 pupils who won a prize for their fantastic R.E. work during Mortimer’s open evening.
Well done to the Y3 children who made a positive transition into the juniors this week; everyone showed a great attitude to all aspects of school life!
Well done to our Y1 & Y2 who were all brilliant in our summer sport & well being club, despite the wet weather. Wherever possible, we got outside to enjoy a wide variety of games, and whenever we were forced back inside the children were equally positive enjoying indoor activities. I’m sure the club will help many of our children in their transition to the juniors, while it was wonderful fun teaching our talented children. I hope you all have a great summer with your families and enjoy continuing to get active!
Well done to our lower juniors who happily launched themselves in to a variety of exciting activities this week. They were all amazing and it was wonderful to see them have a great time!
Our amazing children put on a magnificent sports day for us all today! Everyone tried their best in their events with a smile; while it was wonderful to see the children supporting their friends throughout our festival of sport. Thank you to our school community who made the event so special by turning up in large numbers on our rearranged date and supporting all the children with great enthuiasm. Sport really does have the power bring us together in a happy, positive ways. Enjoy the summer break with your families and I hope you all enjoy staying active together.
The children in Year 6 enjoyed their final disco at St Bede’s on Tuesday night.
Fun and games, dancing and a treat of a McDonalds. The children (and staff) had a fantastic night!
I think you will all agree that the children did an absolutely fantastic end of year production; ‘Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies’.
The children worked so hard to memorise their lines, learn the dances and show off their acting talents.
Well done Year 6!
Year 4 spent a lovely afternoon celebrating the Pride of the Tyne, our local ferry’s, 30th birthday last week! We learned about the history of the ferry, had a trip to North Shields and visited the Captain’s control room. The children also received a goody bag of treats from Nexus!
Reception had a fantastic time at Marine Park this morning! They had great fun playing on the park, playing with skips and balls on the field and building fairy gardens in the woodland area. The children then enjoyed a delicious ice cream to cool down and got to ride on the park train. What a busy morning! Next, it was the highlight of the day – lunch! Reception enjoyed a lovely lunch in the park with their friends before heading back to school. The children were beautifully behaved and made all of the staff incredibly proud.
I would like to say a big thank you to our wonderful parent helpers and a HUGE thank you to Smith’s Seaview Cafe for very kindly supplying the children’s ice creams free of charge.
