A huge well done to Karen who took part in the recent England Cricket Match at Chester Le Street. She got to welcome the players onto the pitch. A future Sports Leader in the making!

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!

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.
