Songs of Nature and Space: A Stellar Term for Our Choir!

14th July 2025N Trotter

Over the past two months, our choir has worked incredibly hard to learn a wide variety of new songs. They were fortunate to collaborate with the Durham Cathedral Music Programme and take part in a wonderful performance at the Cathedral, alongside other schools from South Tyneside. The event featured songs themed around animals and the beautiful message of All Things Bright and Wonderful.

Just last week, the choir took to the stage again—this time at The Glasshouse in Newcastle—performing with several other schools in a concert themed around space. As always, our choir members demonstrated maturity, poise, and a true passion for music, representing our school brilliantly. Well done!

Design Technology – Year 1

9th July 2025J Twigge

In our Design Technology topic this half term we have been looking at structures all over the world from The Angel of the North, The Eifel Tower to the Statue of Liberty.

We thought about the types of structure they were and what we thought they might have been built from.

As we have been learning about Grace Darling, we thought a Lighthouse would be a good structure to explore.

We thought very carefully about the materials we could use, the different methods to decorate the main structure, such as paper using crayons, pens and pencils, a collage of different materials.

We have also thought about challenges we might face.

We think they look amazing!
