With Christ at our side to guide us,
we shine in all that we do.
The Y3 children enjoyed an adapted trip to Marine Park, after our beach event was unfortunately cancelled. The children had fun playing parachute activities, team building games and other fun sports. The morning was topped off with a trip to Minchella’s for a well earned ice cream. The children were a credit to themselves throughout the trip!
We had a fantastic day at Lightwater Valley on Friday. The children enjoyed the sunshine and being daredevils on the rides.
Our Year 6 class enjoyed an unexpected visit from an ice-cream van thanks to Vision Education.
In Art, the children have been learning about Gustav Klimt and studied some of his pieces.
The children used the ideas of Klimt’s intricate detail and use of ‘Zentangles’ and re-created one of the patterns from the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer. They then created a relief by making this pattern 3D by using rice.
Next the children will embellish their patterns using foil to replicate the metallic look used in Klimt’s work.
(More pictures to follow with finished pieces)
The children used pots with a magnifying glass to look closely at the different creatures and followed a classification key to identify what type of invertebrate it was. We discovered the best place to find a range of habitats and creatures was on the school field next to the trim trail. The children had a great time exploring and managed to find a broad range of invertebrates on their hunt. 
Year 6 were over the moon as their hoodies arrived this morning!
Three teams of pupils enjoyed competing at Monkton Stadium in the South Tyneside Athletics last week. There were some brilliant results in the 75m sprint, 600m, howler throw and long jump. Everyone tried so hard and should be extremely pleased with their performances, especially on what was an usually hot day!
I was very so proud to see everyone supporting each other with lots of enthusiasm and kind words. The children had tons of positive energy and it was a delight to hear them cheering each other on.
Well done, Year 5 – you truly are a fantastic team!
KS2 enjoyed an excellent display this morning from Bike 3SIXTY, they saw bike tricks and stunts, learned tips on how to improve their balance when riding and learned about how practice and resilience lead to success!
We had a fantastic time at Emmaus Youth Village. During our time there we learnt different forms of prayer including sign language, singing and dancing.
We spent a lot of time outside with our friends and enjoyed an ice-cream at the local park.
All the children behaved impeccably and were a delight to spend time with!
