Yesterday some of our young mathematicians in year 4 took park in a maths competition using video conferencing technology.
They had to use their knowledge of all four number operations, problem solving, shape and space to work through 6 grueling rounds and competed against other schools in South Tyneside.
As always, our children showed their true skill and talent. Unfortunately they were just pipped to the post but we are very proud of their achievements.
As we come to the end of our spring term I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support,
We have had another fantastic term ending in our ‘Extravaganza’ of an Easter Fayre. Thank you also to Sainsburys and J.R. Holland for supporting this event.
We wish you and your family a safe and happy Easter break and look forward to seeing you all again on Tuesday 21st April.
Mr G.S. Seagrove
Head Teacher
As the Easter Fayre will be in the school hall next Tuesday and Wednesday there will be no Wake up! Shake Up!
Sessions will restart the second week back after Easter starting Tuesday 28th April.
Thank you!

Year 6 National Test Week – Monday 11th May to Friday 15th May
Year 2 Assessments will be carried out throughout May.
It is particularly important that children in Year 2 and Year 6 do not miss these assessments, or the run up to them. Once again I would urge you not to request to take family holidays during this time.
Thank you in anticipation for your support.
