On Thursday 22nd November Mrs Armstrong took a group of children to the Gymnastic Festival held a Gateshead leisure Centre. The two groups of children were Year 3/4 and Year 5/6. The children each did a floor routine which had some technical gymnastic moves. The children, staff and parents enjoyed the festival.
Year 6 represented the school in the Gateshead schools basketball finals on Tuesday 27th November. They finished in fourth place out of the many Gateshead schools that took part. Well done to our team!
Mrs Barnes' class have taken part in as joint project with Emmanuel College, where they learned about trade and how to design products and advertise them effectively. The pupils had to present their products in front of the rest of the class and also at the Year 5/6 open afternoon held just before Christmas.
Thank you to everyone who attended the open afternoon just before the Christmas holidays. The children appreciated their audience coming along to demonstrate for them what they had been learning about during the term. There were some excellent pieces of drama from Mrs Walker's class and examples of business enterprise ideas from Mrs Barnes' class. Thank you to the children in Mr Otterson's class who showed off their literacy talents and air raid shelters and blitz pictures they created.
