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!

Year 6 have worked extremely hard this term and we have been very proud of the mature and determined attitude they have shown in their SATs.

The last few weeks of half term were a little more relaxed and we enjoyed some fun activities in class, a trip to the park and our jubilee celebrations.

We’re all now looking forward to next half term which will include our Y6 production Ali Babba and the Bongo Bandits, our leavers assembly and lots of transition activities to prepare us for secondary school.

Here are a few photos of Year 5 taking part in our ‘songs through the decades’ performance for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. They looked great in their red, white and blue outfits and did a fantastic job of singing our chosen song from the ‘noughties.’  Scroll down to the bottom for a short video clip of their lovely singing!
