This year for our Lenten Giving, our Mini Vinnies created a challenge for the school community to think about how they could donate things they no longer needed to children in need in our area. They have been collecting children's clothes, shoes, toys, books and games throughout Lent and this week they organised the donations for Tyneside Community Store and St Oswald's Hospice who were so incredibly grateful for this kindness.

Year 2 shared a wonderful assembly today all about their learning in History about the Great Fires of London, Gateshead and Newcastle. It was amazing to see how much they had enjoyed this unit and the links they have made to local history.

In History club, Year 5 and 6 were learning about Ancient Gods and Godesses. The children then created their own modern day versions. They had some great ideas, such as, the God of Heavy Metal and the Goddess of Comfort and Snacks!

Year 5 gave a superb performance at tonight’s Dance Fesitval! You were co-ordinated, in sync and most of all had fun. Thank you for representing our school brilliantly.

Year 2 have thoroughly enjoyed their History unit on the Great Fires. After learning about the fire in London, we invited Richard to come and talk to us yesterday all about life on the Quayside in Victorian times and all about the Great Fires of Gateshead and Newcastle. Then today we took a metro into town and explored the site of the fire and how the Quayside has changed over time. We even saw the remains of the wall from the houses that were there in 1854!

The children in Years 5 and 6 have enjoyed a series of Safeguarding Workshops led by Northumbria Police and the Ivison Trust. They have explored themes such as grooming, cyberbullying and the impact of social media. They found these sessions really informative and they were a excellent reinforcement of our PSHE curriculum

Year 3 had a fantastic day at the Oriental Museum exploring life in Ancient Egypt. They handled and researched Egyptian artefacts and visited the real mummy learning how she came to be at the museum and what is know about her past. We finished by reenacting a mumification and taking part in a weighing of the heart!

Years 5 and 6 enjoyed a wonderful trip to the theatre to see Weird this morning at the Theatre Royal. They really enjoyed the experience!
