Children from Year 2 are currently attending cookery club on a Tuesday after school.

Mrs O Connor and Mrs Yielder are now running 2 dance clubs. The boys meet on a Tuesday lunch time and the girls meet on a Wednesday after school. The children are working towards performing at the Gateshead Schools Dance Festival on 12th March. This years theme is Music from Musicals and Films.
The Dance Festival is always a huge success and we can't wait to boogie!!

The School Council has been very busy since September! Already we have painted the Dining halls with a fruity design as part of the Healthy School Award, and are working to achieve the Fairtrade award. As part of this we have set up a Fairtrade Shop which will be open every Wednesday from 3pm - 4pm. We have also provided Fairtrade cereal bars to be sold at playtimes to Key Stage 2 children.

Well done to all of our Circus Club members for this term! We have practised our skills and are now very accomplished at juggling, balancing, diablo and plate spinning. Some of our Year 5/6s have also tried the very difficult Poi! Their tricks were amazing!

A big thank you to the 'Friends of Glynwood' who have given us money to buy a greenhouse for our school garden.

We recently held another Eco Schools meeting with our Action Team.
Read on to find out what the new targets are.

We will be entering this years Spring Bulb Show at Saltwell Park on Saturday 8th March
2-4 pm and Sunday 9th March 10am-4pm.
We have been growing various flower bulbs, hyacinths, daffodils and tulips to enter. Lets hope they flower just in time.
We will also enter the Children's Painting Competition. Children from school will be painting flowers from different months of the year and some of these will be displayed at the Show.
Fingers crossed!!
Please come along and support us on that weekend. It is free admission and should be a lovely
display. We may even get some winning entries.

Children from Year 2 have finished their 5 week course of cookery and now it is the turn of some from Year 3 and 4 children on Tuesdays after school.
So far they have made healthy pizzas, healthy scones and soon will make apricot muffins.
Mmmm!!! Delicious!!!

Here is a price list of products sold in our Fair Trade Shop on Wednesdays after school

Every Wednesday from 3:15pm to 3:45pm we will be selling discounted goods in our Fairtrade shop.

ICT Club will be running on Tuesday lunchtimes for the whole of the Summer Term.

This Wednesday will be the last time we will be selling our Fairtrade products after school. But don't panic, we will have a Fairtrade stall at our Summer Fair in July.

Fairtrade cereal bars are on sale in the PE Hall at morning break. They cost 30p each.

Congratulations to those pupils who worked with Mrs Walker & took part in her PSHE Award.

The Fair Trade Shop is on every Tuesday after school outside Mrs Lonsdale's office. We sell cereal bars, chocolate, tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits and fruit juice at very reasonable prices! The shop is run by School Council - thank you to them and Mrs Damti for their hard work running the shop every week.

As part of our Eco-Schools work, we have written our Glynwood eco-code. Each class spent a PSHE lesson writing eco-codes, then a winner was chosen. The winning eco-code was written by Emily Eccleston of Year 5.

As part of aiming to improve our links with parents and get more adults involved with their children's learning, Mr Otterson will be starting up some Numeracy sessions for parents and children to attend to help improve basic mathematic skills and learn some of the different ways in which maths can be taught today. The sessions are intended to be fun and concentrate on developing skills and learning ways in which to help the children when tackling homework and preparing them for SATs.

After consulting parents the most selected option was for Tuesday evenings straight after school from 3.30 til 4.30. The first session will therefore take place on Tuesday 18th November at 3.30. If you can't make this time slot then some different session times after Christmas will be on offer.

Hope to see you there

Mr Otterson
