In the Autumn term, we asked for children to volunteer to become Mini Vinnies. We were astounded by the huge number of applications received from our KS2 children. It was so difficult to choose between the thoughtful applications of those children wanting to make a difference in their community, so, with over 40 applications, we decided to run 2 Mini Vinnies’ groups. Here they are being commissioned today.
Y3 Multi-Skills PB Champions!
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!
KS2 Christmas Concert – Hosanna Rock
The children in KS2 delivered a fantastic performance when they sang songs from ‘Hosanna Rock’ in Church today. Accompanied by Mr Richardson on the piano, the children sang, narrated, and acted beautifully. We were all so proud of them! Thank you to everyone involved in the concert and to our wonderful families for supporting them!
Y3 Runners Walking in the Footsteps of Sir Mo Farah
The Y3 Cross Country champions had an exciting morning doing the ‘Mobot’ and walking in the footprints of Sir Mo Farah, which have been installed at South Shields interchange. The children were invited by Nexus to promote the legendary Olympian and 6 times Great North Run champion’s footprints after their recent Cross Country success.
In true festive spirit the children were given a selection box for their cheery smiles; which you will be able to see on Tyne Tees News and the local press in the coming days.
Year 3 and 4 Christmas Party
The children in Years 3 and 4 enjoyed a fantastic Christmas Party. Here are some photographs of them having fun!
Travelling Crib
In Advent, as we wait and prepare for the coming of Jesus, the children have been invited to join our special project called ‘The Travelling Crib’. Starting this week, each child will take turns bringing home a pack to share with their families.
This is to help us remember the journey Mary and Joseph made to Bethlehem, and as a family take time to stop and think about the true meaning of Christmas.
Children in KS1 will bring home The Christmas Story, while children in KS2 will bring home a book called ‘When the Stars Shone Bright, A Christmas Tale’ telling the Christmas story from the perspective of the three wise men.
KS2 Virtual author visit with Hannah Gold
Key Stage 2 classes recently took part in a virtual visit from award-winning author, Hannah Gold.
During the virtual visit, Hannah spoke about her bestselling books The Last Bear and The Lost Whale. She also introduced the children to her highly anticipated third book, Finding Bear. Hannah spoke about her exciting work and the background to her latest book, as well as answering pupils’ questions in a Q&A session.
Some of the children enjoyed listening to Hannah so much that they were motivated to write their own animal stories inspired by Finding Bear.
Y3 Archaeologists in Durham!
Our Y3 mini archaeologists enjoyed an interesting Stone-Bronze Age day at Durham’s Museum of Archaeology! We learned about the chronology of Prehistory and analysed an exciting range of ancient artefacts. The children completed an exciting gallery trail and also considered what we could deduce from the bones of a skeleton. Y3 conducted themselves superbly throughout the visit and even took in some of the sites of a picturesque Durham.
Our New Juniors!
Well done to the Y3 children who made a positive transition into the juniors this week; everyone showed a great attitude to all aspects of school life!
Y3 Outdoor Adventurers!
Y3 enjoyed orienteering using their mapwork skills around South Marine Park today. They navigated around the park in teams to find letters and numbers which helped them to solve a variety of puzzles. During the course, they also embarked on six problem solving activities, where they had to use communication and teamwork skills. The children were fantastic and really embraced the challenges in a wonderful festival!
