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 Saturday 14th June around 60 children and parents took part in our annual Pedalling Picnic (the eighth event).
The majority of participants opted for the long ride - 10 miles from Consett to Swalwell - riding at a cracking pace (for children as young as 5) to reach Swalwell in just over an hour.
The sun shone for the picnic element of this enjoyable event.
Thanks to all who took part and particularly to Gary Haley for his work on the organisation of what has become a traditional summer event at Fellside.
Anyone for breakfast?
Today saw the first ever bring your bike and have your breakfast event! There were over forty children and parents who cycled to school and then enjoyed fresh juice, croissants, toast and time to chat with friends. Many thanks to James, our Bike-It officer, who organised and ran the event. Watch out for more activities during Bike-It Week, week beginning Monday 16th June.
This year’s technology challenge was to design and make something that would harness the power of the wind. What a spectacular array and assortment of machines, devices and turbines there were! Well done to everyone who entered, the standard was extremely high. Congratulations to the winners Olivia, Charlotte, Luke and Ellen.
Take a look at some in action!

The second half of the autumn term is traditionally very busy both in school, and I'm sure at home, and this year is no exception. Please find below a list of the events up to Christmas.
Year 5 have created some fantastic bar charts and line graphs this term. Firstly, the class collected their data using tallies and frequency tables. Next, the children plotted both bar charts and line graphs by hand and then, in later lessons, they linked this numeracy work with ICT to present their charts using Microsoft Excel.
Click below to see some more examples of their super graph work.
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.

Have you been into our school lately to have a look around at our corridors?
At the very end of last term, we spent a great deal of time perfecting our ARTS WEEK displays but had little time to throw open our doors for a special viewing of our handiwork as we were working at the very last minute.
Artist, Mark Todman, worked with Key Stage Two classes to create a large vibrant mosaic using ceramic tiles which now has pride of place in Key Stage One corridor. Like all our Arts Week displays this year, it complies with our adopted aquatic theme of ‘Water.’
Now is your chance to catch up as all these displays are now available to view online! These photographs start with Reception’s display through to Year Six. Enjoy!
