Class 1 have had so much fun today celebrating their final topic of the academic year. We baked biscuits and decorated them, made bracelets, had a wonderful medieval banquet and made wonderful crowns. The children wore party / castles clothes and had a fantastic celebration 🙂
Big well done to all of the Year 5 / 6 children who performed amazingly and to the parents and carers who came along – I am sure you’ll all agree it was FANTASTIC! 🙂
Due to recording errors with the video camera we were unable to record the full show this year and provide a DVD for you all, However, here are the parts that have recorded!

What a fabulous day we have had our to celebrate our TT Rockstars. We demonstrated our Rights Respecting Gold ethos by hosting our Celebration Assembly, then 14 lucky TT Rockstars went aboard the Boombus to experience the life of a rockstar visiting the Angel of the North and the sights of the Quayside. Back in school, our children have had a wonderful time solving Reasoning Problems, showing variance in their calculations and then enjoying an in house disco.
Well done to all our fabulous children.
Class 4 had so much fun dressing up as rockstars to celebrate TT Rockstar day. We did lots of TT Rockstars, answered some problem solving questions in our groups and then finished off the day with a fantastic disco. Everyone had a great time rocking!
