There were lots of smiling faces in our Easter Egg Raffle!
5KJ won the attendance award for Spring 2nd half. Well done!
3CL went to visit Roma Italian restaurant in Sunderland. We sampled some delicious Italian food as a final ending to our topic of Europe and Italy. The children enjoyed pizza, garlic bread, lasagne, chicken pasta and potato skins. This was followed by a selection of delicious cakes.
All children had a fantastic time and showed exceptional manners and behaviour.
Mrs Lynn was so proud.
Year 6 visited the Victors tunnels in Newcastle. The Victoria Tunnel is a preserved underground wagon way that was constructed in the 19th-century to support the local coal-mining trade. Almost 100 years later, it was converted into a life-saving air-raid shelter during the Second World War.
We all had a one-hour tour underground into the Victoria Tunnel and a one-hour classroom activity where we handled original and replica artefacts and found out lots of information from a lady who lived through World War two and was trapped in a Morrison Shelter for around 7 hours when her house was bombed. We had great fun and learned lots.
In Year 5 we have been studying South America. We have looked at the countries and different human and physical features. We loved learning about the Amazon Rainforest and the animals that live there. We created these amazing canvases of rainforest animals using acrylic paints. We are so proud of our results!
4NG had a brilliant time visiting the Openzone. We used the green room to film a news report about Yellowstone National Park and enjoyed following instructions to program lego.
On Monday 27th March, 4NW visited the Openzone. We had a great time using the green screen to make news programmes about Yellowstone Park. We also enjoyed making lego models and programming these to move.

Year 6 visited West Harton Methodist Church to take part in an Easter labyrinth event. Volunteers from the church led small groups around different scenes of the journey which Jesus would have taken during Holy Week in the lead up to his crucifixion and when he rose again. We linked his life and journey to our lives; discussing times we have felt betrayed or judged and the strength to show forgiveness during such trials. It was very interesting and at the end we were gifted a sunflower seed to plant, a psalm cross and a small egg to help us remember the trip and what Christian’s believe in and celebrate at Easter.
