Girls’ Cricket

5th July 2018A Stelling

After a successful competition at Whitburn Cricket Club, Mortimer Y5/6 Girls Cricket Team went on to represent the county at Darlington.

After facing tough opposition in their league, the year 5/6 girls emerged as overall winners which earned them a place in the semi-finals.

Again, despite nerves and excitement, the girls were victorious and found themselves in the final against Neville Cross from Durham.

Unfortunately, this time they were on the losing side but not until a magnanimous effort on behalf of the girls.

To be runners up in a county tournament in which over 100 teams initially took park, is an accolade in itself.

All of the girls have been a sheer delight to coach and fantastic to representatives of Mortimer Primary School. Mrs Keighery and I are incredibly proud of you.

Y3 Segedunum Roman Fort

12th April 2018A Stelling
On Thursday March 15th, Segedunum Roman Fort was invaded by our Year 3 classes!
They had a fantastic day learning about what it was like for both Celts and Romans. Story telling, bracelet making, hand-painting, marching practice, polishing shields and learning how the Roman soldiers used their shields and swords all helped the children enjoy a real hands on experience. Great fun!

Y4 Viking Day

By A Stelling27th February 2018

Y4 had a fantastic day when The Vikings came to visit on Friday! They learnt all about what The Vikings ate and sampled some of their dishes. They also made butter, learned to write in runes, made clay pots and did some Viking weaving.

The teachers and visiting Vikings were very impressed with how much effort had been put into dressing up for the day.

Thank you so much!
