The children thoroughly enjoyed Sports Day this year which was held on July 1st. The children compete in a variety of competitive games including old favourites such as the egg and spoon and sack race. The day as ever ends with the year group sprints.
Thank you so much for supporting our whole school Teddy Bear Picnic for Action Research 2019. Our children enjoyed a very exciting assembly with their bears and then shared their treats.
We will post the amount raised for this fantastic charity on our next newsletter.
On Wednesday, 3rd July birds of prey experts came to visit year 4. They brought six birds with them, five owls and a falcon. We were told all sorts of interesting facts about the birds, including the fact that Florence Nightingale used to carry a Little Owl in her pocket! The children had the opportunity not just to handle the birds, but also to fly them!
On Thursday 6th June all of Year 2 visited Washington Wetland Centre. As part of their Habitats topic in science they took part in three lead activities. They enjoyed pond dipping, a mini beast hunt and a map work session looking at world habitats and adaptions of the creatures living there.They had talks on otters and flamingos. They then had free time to visit the mini beast garden, the duckery, hide and of course the play park. A great time was had by all.
4HA attended The Urban Factory on Friday 24th May for a gym taster festival. They participated in cheerleading, freerunning, gymnastics and tumble activities and had a very fun afternoon!
Last Thursday 30 Year 1 children went to a Trigolf tournament where they developed their ball control skills. They learnt how to use a golf club effectively to hit the ball and took part in a variety of activities including competitive target practise, a distance competiton for hitting the ball past a certain target and also a ball control assault course. They had a great time!

Y6 had a fabulous afternoon with explorer and expedition leader Steve Berry to enhance their topic on Mountains of The World.
Local man Steve, is one of the few people in the world to have climbed the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. His knowledge and experience provides a priceless, first hand experience for the pupils.
They loved hearing his stories and anecdotes about surviving in some of the world’s toughest terrains and his message of ‘anything is possible when you apply your mind’ was inspirational to our young people.
A huge thank you to Steve for talking to our children.
The High 5 netball team were victorious in School Games Finals, which means they are South Tyneside champions and will go onto represent their borough in the North East High 5 Final at The Beacon of Light, Sunderland on the 28th March.
Five Year 5 children were given an exciting opportunity to take part in a workshop at The Word which was a follow up of the Match Day Experience from the South Shields vs Bamber Bridge football game. They watched highlights from the match, practised using their word processing skills to write it up then filmed their report! Children read from autocues while standing in front of green screens to give the impression of real match commentary. They were then shown how footage can be edited with music and special effects. What a great experience!
