Please find below a selection of pictures taken at the recent Y2 trip to Beamish and a number of photos from Y2KB class assembly.
Our children have taken part in a wide variety of different sporting events and have done extremely well.
Football
Our A team have had a very impressive start to the season winning all three of their games. The team have scored twenty goals in total which is excellent!
Our B team have played two games so far winning one and losing the other.
Our girls have also made a promising start to their season.
Rugby
Our Year 5 children have all recently had rugby coaching which they thoroughly enjoyed. The coaches certainly did not waste their time as in the Y5/6 tag rugby competition held at Harton Technology College on Friday 19th October, Mortimer finished first, third and fourth. This is a tremendous achievement as there were over twenty teams present on the day.
Judo
Every child from Y1-6 had the opportunity to take part in Judo taster sessions. these were thoroughly enjoyed by the children and we hope we will be able to offer judo to our children again next year.
Cross Country
Over six hundred children from South Tyneside gathered together at Temple Park on Thursday 1st November to take part in this event. Several of our children were placed very highly in the four races Mortimer entered. Our Year 5 boys’ team combined score placed them as the best school on the day. Congratulations to all of the children who took part!
It’s been a busy seven weeks but our reception children are well and truly settled into their new classes. Here are a few pictures of their first few days captured at the start of the term.

Martin Lightfoot from the RNLI visited school today to deliver assemblies to both our Infant and Junior children. He talked to them about the dangers of being near water and the 4 rules they can follow to keep themselves safe. The 4 rules are: Stop and Think, Stay Together, Float and Call 999 or 112. The children were very responsive to Martin’s questions and he was very impressed by them. The children who were in Mrs Allan’s class last year then presented the RNLI with a cheque for £116.40 that they had raised in the summer from the sale of artwork. The RNLI receives no government funding and relies on fundraising efforts.
In Y2 the children have been reading a range of fantasy stories and decided to end the topic with a day dressed as their favourite character. Don’t they look fantastic in their costumes.
Reception had their own mini sports morning this week and enjoyed doing many team events which tested their speed, balance, agility and team working skills.
Great work Reception!
Nursery
To celebrate the Royal Wedding, the Nursery children will be having a Royal picnic in our outdoor garden on Friday 18th May. We will be having one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Could you please send your child dressed for the occasion – Princes and Princesses.
We will be making and providing cakes and sandwiches so there is no need to bring anything.
Reception Children
To celebrate the Royal Wedding, the Reception children will be having an afternoon tea in the outdoor garden on Friday 18th May.
Could reception children please come dressed in anything red, white or blue.
Year 1 to Year 6
Children from Year 1 to Year 6 can bring a snack of crisps and a drink (not fizzy) for a royal tea party.
Year 1 are currently taking part in athletics sessions ran by Start 2 Finish. All our children from Reception through to Year 6 have the opportunity to take part. The lessons are ran on a lunchtime as part of the school’s comprehensive physical activity programme.
1GB took part in lots of mini golf activities, alongside some other KS1 children from different schools. The competition was hosted by Mortimer Community College and despite the wind, they all had lots of fun!
Y2 have been reading the book ‘Wild’ by Emily Hughes. Here are some photos of freeze frames and conscience alleys relating to the story.
