This week our Y6 pupils have been enjoying outdoor education week. With some of our children away to Thurston Outdoor Education Centre in the Lake District the rest of the year group have had great fun orienteering, wall climbing, problem solving, bowling and much much more.

House captains from KS2 attended a service of Remembrance at the West Park on Wednesday.

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.

Year 6 pupils had their geography topic brought to life today when Freelance Expedition Leader Steve Berry came and talked to them about his many years climbing some of the largest mountains in the world and his experiences.

The children learnt about how to survive in many different extreme environments and how skilled a climber you must be to succeed in these treks.

The pupils were captivated listening to his stories and were all bursting with questions to ask. A once in a lifetime opportunity to talk to a real life adventurer. Steve, who is from South Shields, has climbed many of the great mountains and he has conquered Mount Everest. This year alone he has been on many trips around the world and he has led exhibitions to climb Kilimanjaro four times.

As Year 6 approach their outdoor education topic next week we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to invite Steve to talk to our children.

We wish him luck and best wishes for his next adventure as he leaves on Friday to climb Ama Dablam!

We are delighted to be nominated as School of the Year in the Chance to Shine Cricket initiative.

We have had great success in local, regional and national cricket competitions and were delighted to be nominated.
