Year 3 have been working closely with our cook, Mrs Seales. Every Thursday evening, some of the children attend Cookery Club where they have been learning to make a range of delicious dishes. This week, the children made their own pizzas. They enjoyed taking them home to share with their families.
We enjoyed celebrating on Thursday as 19 children in our class had 100% attendance for November! Here we are with our 100% attendance stickers. We hope to have Toffee Bear after Christmas!
Each class, from nursery to Year 6, has been involved in planting trees delivered by
the Woodland Trust. We’ve planted them in our yard, in the far field and around the car park. It has been a wonderful opportunity for everyone to work as part of a team and to help the environment. Toffee even joined some of the children. Can you spot him?
We can’t wait to see the trees grow!

This year’s anti-bullying week got off to a fantastic start with our school’s involvement in Odd Sock Day , organised by the Anti-bullying Alliance.
First, the children were involved in an assembly, where their views on how they are kept safe in school and suggestions for developing this further were taken into account.
After taking some ‘creative’ photographs of the vast array of children’s socks, we talked about being unique – All Different, All Equal.
We will be entering our photographs in an Odd Socks Day Competition on Twitter – we are proud to be All different and All Equal.
On Friday 13th Mrs Wells’ class presented their Class Assembly. Lots of our Grown ups came to watch and we had great fun!
Check out our presentation.
The success of Canny Friday continues as our School Council led project has received national recognition. The project, which involved the collection of 1213 cans for the South Tyneside Food Bank, has received a ‘highly commended’ rating in the national Speaker’s School Council Awards 2017. Well done to all of our School Council members who worked so hard to make such a difference to our local community.
The School Council were thrilled to visit the South Tyneside Food Bank last week. The trip, organised to celebrate the success of our ‘Canny Friday’ efforts, began with the children meeting the charity’s patron, Sir David Chapman. The School Council were keen to ask David and Maureen, a volunteer for Hospitality and Hope, about the difference that our donations had made to the lives of local community members. They were pleased to learn that almost all of our donations had already been placed into parcels and had been given to those in need.
After examining the contents of the food bank’s shelves, the children moved into another part of the building where they were surprised to find clothing, shoes, bedding and toys. Maureen explained that the charity were keen to support local families and individuals in a number of ways. The School Council could not believe their eyes when they discovered the soup kitchen, from which a variety of nutritious meals are served. The children enjoyed a drink and several snacks in the kitchen before returning to school.
Last Friday all of Year 3 set off to Durham Cathedral, after a few rainy days we were lucky to have lovely sunshine!
We spent half of the day doing environmental art activities, looking at leaves through magnifiers and printing them onto paper using paint.
We then created the Northern Saint’s symbols using nature. We spent the other half of the day on a tour of the Cathedral. We got to dress up, light a candle and learnt all about the Northern Saints!
