With Christ at our side to guide us,
we shine in all that we do.
A big ‘well done’ to the ten Year 5 pupils who were inducted into the Mini Police this week. It was so hard to pick only ten children as the whole of Year 5 submitted wonderful applications. PC Steven and PC Darren agreed that they would have taken the entire class if they could!
We had a special assembly to let the rest of the school know who had ben chosen and the Mini Police were presented with their uniform. Don’t they look amazing?
Year 1 have been learning about Remembrance Day and why it is such an important time to pause and reflect. The children explored the meaning behind the poppy and how it reminds us of those who gave their lives for peace.
As part of our learning, the children created beautiful poppies and a class poppy wreath. We then used our wreath during a special Celebration of the Word, where we prayed together and shared a moment of silence to honour all those who have died in wars and conflicts.
It was a thoughtful and creative way for Year 1 to show respect and learn about peace.
During our pupil-led celebration of the Word, it was Paul House’s turn to lead. We explored the story of the Good Samaritan and reflected on practical ways to live out its message in our daily lives as part of our mission.

Well done to Year 3 who shared a lovely class celebration of the word together today.
This week, Year 5 participated in a dodgeball event at Temple Park. Several schools joined together to play dodgeball and have lots of fun!
During the course of the morning, sports leaders were on the lookout for pupils who demonstrated core sporting values. Two of our pupils were awarded certificates – one for passion and one for honesty.
The entire class showed amazing effort and were so supportive of one another. It was joyous to hear them cheering each other on and sharing words of encouragement. Well done, Year 5!
Our talented Cross Country squad were proudly presented with their gold medals today, after recently becoming South Tyneside Team Champions 2025. Their record breaking score of 168 points meant that they finished 187 points ahead of the second placed team – an incredible achievement! Well done to everyone – we are very proud of you all!
Reception had a brilliant time on their visit to the library this morning. They listened to some fun (and slightly spooky) monster-themed stories that had everyone giggling and guessing what might happen next!
After the stories, the children got stuck into designing their very own scary monsters. There were lots of wild eyes, sharp teeth, and crazy colours—each one was totally unique and full of imagination!
To finish off the trip, everyone chose a book to bring back to school. These special picks will be shared each day during story time. Well done Reception!
In RE, Year 4 have been learning about Reconciliation. Some of the children have been preparing for their First Reconciliation. The Sacrament of Reconciliation celebrates the fact that we are loved and forgiven by God and that when we say sorry to one another and experience forgiveness we are experiencing God’s forgiveness.
Parents were invited into school to share in our Celebration of the Word as we celebrated God’s unconditional love and forgiveness. At the end of our Celebration of the Word, the families were given a mission to show love and care for others, letting their light shine. The children gave their parents a leaf on which to write (with their child) how they would follow our mission. At the end of the COTW, parents were given a Good Shepherd’ prayer card to take home.
The children attended Robinwood and had a fantastic time taking part in the numerous activities. A great few days away!
