Netball Success!

By A Stelling19th February 2017

Congratulations to both of our netball squads and their coach Miss Anderson.

On Friday both teams competed at Temple Park in a tournament against other schools from South Tyneside.

On Friday our A team came first and automatically qualify to represent South Tyneside in the Blue Flames North East finals on Thursday 30th March. The b team came second so will play on play offs (date tbc) to see if they can also get through.

Great work and dedication from all involved. We have a very strong netball club who have continually trained hard during the winter months. Only a number of children were able to participate on Friday however all children who attend practices were part of making these victories. Well done!

 

NSPCC Number Day

By A Ogilvie3rd February 2017

A great day has been had in school with all year groups having fun with number work but making money for the NSPCC.

All children were invited to wear a ‘splash of green’ with their uniform and completed mathematical challenges in their year groups. These tasks ranged from class quizzes with our younger children to ‘Robot Wars’ with our older children.

A great way to make money for a very worthy charity.

Change 4 life

By A Ogilvie30th January 2017

We held an assembly and told all the children about Change 4 Life. We explained that it was a government initiative that promoted healthy lifestyles. We gave the children a brief overview of all the initiatives that our school does both inside and outside the curriculum connected to physical activity and healthy eating. During the assembly, the children were reminded about some of the work our Champions did last year. This included a Fun Club which our Year 4 children participated in during the Summer term and a games fortnight that all our our Year 3 children enjoyed during lunchtime. The children seemed excited that these clubs were going to be run again this year.

As well as the above, we have been working with our lunchtime supervisory staff promoting physical activity and well-being among the children. Our KS1 and KS2 children have been provided with a large selection of equipment to use during their break times. The Young Sport Leaders as well as ourselves have planned a range of activities that the children can engage in during play times.
