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!

Y4 were visited by RSPB today, where they took part in a ‘Bioblitz’ session. This involved searching the school garden and mini-beast area for plants and animals. Lots of fun learning took place!
Were you there the day we closed Mortimer Road and celebrated the success story that is Mortimer Primary School?
Just in case you missed it, here is a video of our fabulous pupils enjoying a very memorable day.
Danielle, from Williby Roc, came into school to talk to reception about caring for creatures in the environment. The children went on a bug hunt in the garden and then made clay models after observing mini-beasts in their natural environment.
The children are very much looking forward to working with Danielle again soon to make a ‘bug hotel’ for their outside classroom.
The South Tyneside primary Schools FA Bart Rippon Cup took place on Friday 26th April at Temple Park. Fourteen schools took part in the tournament which was filled with superb football action played to a high level.

Maxi the Lifeguard, also known as Trent Maxwell from hit programme Bondi Beach, visited our Key Stage 2 children this morning to talk about water and fire safety.
In 2018 Maxi founded a Social Enterprise ‘Live Learn Survive’ which is a series of interactive Fire & Water Safety workshops. These workshops educate children and young adults to teach them skills that save lives. The ‘Maxi the Lifeguard’ books purchased through Maxi’s website support and enable Live Learn Survive workshops to be carried out in disadvantaged areas.
Children can attend workshops on water safety at South Shields Beach tomorrow from 12:15 (registration) and there are additional fire rescue workshops on Newcastle Quayside from 11:00 Sunday.

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.
