Our children from Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 took part in the Athletics Festival at Gateshead Stadium on Friday 27th June. Girls and boys from the school claimed a bumper crop of medals, including five gold and four silver. A fantastic time was had by all and many thanks go to Mrs Bowren and Mrs Potts for all their support on the day.

On Friday 22nd June children from Years 3 to 6 travelled to Gateshead International Stadium to take part in this years Gateshead Primary Schools Athletics Festival.
Everyone competed brilliantly and a good day was had by all, the journey home was accompanied by the tinkling of the various medals won, from bronze through to gold.
Art in the first half term is all about journeys.We created some paintings based on ancient Aborignal art. The art represents a coded map based on the their own journeys through the Bush.
In Year 4 we have been looking at story structure. We discussed openings and thought about how they needed to catch the readers interest.
We decided that our opening paragraph would introduce the setting of the story.
The children were asked to use adjectives to make their story openings more interesting and to add detail.
Here are a few examples of their opening paragraphs on the setting of an alien planet.
It is a real pleasure to welcome your child into my class. I am delighted at how quickly the class, no longer the youngest in KS2, have settled into a good hardworking mode. I am sure this will continue.
During Y4 they will be taught a cursive style of writing which they should be fully using by next July.
I am looking forward to a productive year, which will see your child making very good progress.
