Y5 and Y6 had a super day today performing at Westoe Methodist Church. Beautiful singing and clear, loud reading made for a fabulous carol concert from our older children.
The children have one more performance tomorrow for Y6 parents, the concert starts promptly at 1:45pm.
Y6AS had a fantastic day working with the The Open Zone team at The Word yesterday.
A day linked to their topic of Victorian’s in history, the children had written a history playscript to record using green screen technology while they were there.
They had a tour of the new building and also got to make Christmas decorations in the Fab Lab using laser cutting and saw how a design could also be created using the 3D printer.
The children enjoyed coding activities and came back with a buzz for the new building.
Thank you to the team for inviting our children for the day.
House captains from KS2 attended a service of Remembrance at the West Park on Friday.
In school, children observed a silence in memory of all those who have served and are still serving our country. We also held special assemblies this week.
The Year 5 children were all introduced to the Tuck Shop recently and those who were interested applied for a job. Mrs Mackay had around 60 application forms to look through and only limited jobs to give. The successful children received training in their role and have shadowed the Year 6 children who ran the tuck shop successfully last year. A reminder that the tuck shop is on four mornings a week.
Just incase you missed it, here is the latest Mortimer newsletter.
To conclude an amazing book week, children and staff enjoyed coming to school as their favourite book character. Check out the fun!
Y5 have kindly been given the opportunity to hom a ‘Snow-dog’for three days. Snow-dog ‘Gooch’ is the Nexus Dog which travels around the North East.
The children in Y5 have been donating money which will be given to the Snow-do charity, St Oswald’s Children Hospice.
Y5 have been on a ‘Snow-dog’ trail around the school, finding dogs with words and creating their own sentences. They have thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you to all netballers who have attended weekly practices, showing a huge amount of dedication.
The A and B teams played in the South Tyneside League from January through to May. They both played superbly and represented their school really well. Both qualified for the High 5 finals. The A team came 1st and the B team came 6th.
The A team also qualified to play in the Blue Flames North East Level 3 tournament and came 5th out of all of the North East schools there- another huge achievement.
Another fantastic year!
