We had a lovely time celebrating World Book Day in school last week! It was a joy to see pupils’ wonderful costumes and hear them talking so enthusiastically about their favourite book characters. We were inundated with lots of amazing entries for our paper plate competition and it was extremely difficult to choose some lucky prize winners. The entries were so brilliant that we have displayed them in our school library area for everyone to enjoy.

Our fantastic basketballers picked up well deserved bronze medals in the Grand Finals at the Vertu Motors Arena in Newcastle on Friday night.
Since qualifying for the finals, I have been very impressed with how the children have been driven to enjoy their practises and improve. A difficult draw saw us paired with Stanhope in the semi finals who had beaten us (10-2) in qualifying.
However, our team had grown a lot in recent weeks and were more than ready for the challenge. Despite falling behind in the first few seconds, we responded by taking the game to the opposition. A mixture of good passing and driving runs forward saw us build up pressure, as we searched for an equaliser. Half way through the match we deservedly drew level with an excellent looping shot from Joseph. We continued to maintain the initiative and were unfortunate on a few occasions not to take the lead.
However, Stanhope were an excellent opponent and were always a threat on the break. Literally on the hooter, against the run of play Stanhope scored a decisive basket to book their place in the final and to conclude a spectacular contest.
I was so proud of our players for not only their response to going behind, but for the way they showcased their skills in such a grand arena. After getting past us in by far the game of the night, Stanhope went on to comfortably win the final.
Congratulations to our basketballers on contributing so much to a brilliant match. With the majority of our squad being so young, it felt that this wasn’t just the end of a great cup run, but also just the beginning of an exciting new side.
Thank you to our amazing parents and staff who supported the team so positively in Newcastle. Our children did themselves and their school proud, as they grew immeasurably on a wonderful sporting night.

A big ‘thank you’ to everyone who came along to our book fair in school this week. With the support of pupils’ families, we now have £490 of Scholastic rewards points to spend on books for school. We are compiling a list of book requests so this money will be a great help.
We were also lucky enough to have some extra special helpers organising the event this time. Thank you Reading Ambassadors – you did an amazing job!

This week some of our junior and infant children took part in the South Tyneside Music Festival at The Custom’s House. The children came together, along with other schools, to put on a performance of Sleeping Beauty (infants) and The Giants in the Clouds (juniors). Each school was asked to perform a song of their choice to showcase their talents. The Juniors sang ‘Sing’ and ‘Crazy Rolling’ while the infants sang ‘We’re all made of stars’ from the musical Finding neverland. The children worked really hard to learn the words and we are all very proud of their efforts. Â
