With Christ at our side to guide us,
we shine in all that we do.
This annual event aims to be a joyful celebration of the power of sharing stories. The children marked the occasion in their house meetings where they created their own stories together using picture cards for inspiration. They worked so well together and conjured some very imaginative stories! Pupils then shared some picture books together in their family groups.
Our new Y3/4 Gymnastics teams enjoyed an excellent day in their first gymnastics competition. Our individual gymnasts were outstanding as they won all three medals on offer collecting gold, silver and bronze! Meanwhile our A team collected team bronze, while our B team came a superb fourth!
All of our gymnasts had a great day exploring a variety of activities at the brilliant Urban factory, before all performing their routines fantastically in front of the expert judges.
It was wonderful to see the team spirit between our 3 squads as they really supported each other.
Thank you to our brilliant parent helpers who really encouraged our children throughout the event! Thank you also to the parents who practised the routine with their children at home – they all did us so proud today!

We have been asked to share the following message from South Tyneside Council.
Members of the GMB and Unite unions are involved in a fourth wave of industrial action this week (23-26 January) and there are no bin collections.
However, from next week when crews return to work, residents are being advised to present their grey household bin ONLY every day from Tuesday to Friday (30 January to 2 February).
On non-strike weeks, waste crew operatives are continuing to take action that goes beyond short of strike (“working to rule” and “go slows”). Crews are bringing work back daily, and last week an entire day was missed.
Skips are to be made available from tomorrow, over the next week, for people to drop off any excess bagged household waste: Temporary Waste Drop-off Points Amid Bin Strike – South Tyneside Council
Our Y3 Multi-Skills teams enjoyed double success at Temple Park today; where our A Team won the competition overall and our B team came a brilliant third! Both our teams had a great time trying a wide variety of activities as they aimed to put in personal best performances.
It was great to watch our children enjoying the event with their friends, while still looking to do their best throughout.
Thank you to our brilliant parent helpers who really supported and encouraged our children during the event! Finally congratulations to all of Y3 – I was really proud of you all today!
Year 1 showed off their impressive gymnastic skills during the KS1 Cheerleading Festival. The children immersed themselves in a variety of engaging activities, showcasing their skills through spirited cheerleading routines. They also delved into the intricacies of mastering cheerleading holds, demonstrating remarkable balance. The event was a celebration of both fun and skill for the children.
Our brilliant new Panathlon squad were amazing today as they won District silver medals; they finished in a highly impressive second place in their first Competition!
The team worked together in a number of sporting challenges including: New Age Kurling, Boccia Blast, Slam Dunk, Flight Path, Ten Pin Topple, Bean Bag Throw and Parachute Popcorn.
Our children showed a lot of skill and supported each other wonderfully throughout the event. They fully deserved their success today and I was so proud of everyone! Thank you also to our fantastic parent helpers.
As part of Nursery’s new topic ‘Transport’ we were learning about trains. We made our very own train, wrote out our tickets and went on a train ride.
We then had a lady from Nexus come into class to explain how we behave around trains and train lines. Keeping safe was very important!
