Good Morning Year 6! 😀🌈📝

Hope you’re all well and staying safe. We all miss you so much and feels like forever since we were at school.

I have prepared some more work for you all – you need to log in to the Stanhope Primary Platform and look in our Google Classroom for the work. You will find the icon along from the drive at the top of your screen. If you check your school e mails you will find an invite there to join the classroom if you haven’t done so already. From here you should be able to access your own copy of the work for you to type on etc. When completed the file should automatically save or you should be able to click ‘turn in’ at the top of the page. I can’t wait to see how you all get on. I will be checking and setting work on a weekly basis.

I have been checking up on Reading Eggspress, Mathletics and Times Tables Rockstars to see who has been logging on – keep doing these activities please, you can access these everyday with your log ins.

I do hope you are all coping well at home and doing some other lovely activities too.

Stay safe everyone and enjoy!!

North East Dodgeball Finals 2020

11th March 2020A Rogers

Congratulations to our ‘tremendous ten’ who have qualified for the NATIONAL DODGEBALL FINALS in Nottingham (July 2020)!!

They faced stiff competition and played fantastically well to finish as Runners-Up to Sunnyside Academy (Middlesbrough), losing 9-3 in a closely fought final.

The team worked well together to have some wonderfully accurate shots, great catches and really impressive communication too. We are so proud of you all and your fantastic achievement.

They will compete against 19 other schools from all over Great Britain. Therefore we will certainly have lots more training and practice sessions ahead of us.

Third were St. Aloysius R.C. Federation (Hebburn).

Further details with regards to the finals will be sent to parents in due course.

Congratulations once again!

Mr Rogers.

Basketball Finals H4H Newcastle 2020

8th February 2020A Rogers

On Friday 7th February our 7 remaining A Team pupils competed in the Hoops4Health Finals at the Community Arena, Newcastle. It was wonderful to watch the North Stand of Sport Central steadily filling up with 50 members excited families, staff and friends from Stanhope. This was lovely to see our community, getting behind the team in a big finals event! Our players were really motivated to play in front of so much support, and give their very best.

The Stanhope team took to the court for the first semi-final against St. Bede’s RC S/S, the defending champions. We immediately started positively, as we passed the ball around confidently. A flowing team move saw us nearly take an early lead with Given taking a fine lay up effort. This was met by a fantastic roar from the Stanhope support! We then went on to have a number of near misses, before St. Bede’s scored. The team bounced back with a great shot scored by Riley, who’s celebration was a joy to see. With the scores tied the play was frantic from end to end. Sadly St. Bede’s managed to score to lead 2-1. Unfortunately this was the way the game ended. A devastating loss for our hard working team – they gave their all and I’m sure they will bounce back to winning ways soon.

The final took place at half-time in the Eagles game, in a front of a great crowd: St. Bede’s RC S/S took on Biddick Hall Juniors winning 1-0.

Well done to the skillful and dedicated players who had all trained outside with such commitment in the build up to the finals throughout a cold, icy and wet December and January.

Finally, a big thank you to the outstanding school community, for your support on a memorable sporting occasion for our school. We will be back even better, more determined and stronger once again next year!

Safer Internet Week 2020

4th February 2020A Rogers

Safer Internet Week 2020

This year, Stanhope Primary School are educating, celebrating and promoting Safer Internet use for a whole week, week beginning Monday 3rd February 2020.

What is E-Safety?
This can also be called ‘internet safety’, ‘online safety’ or ‘web safety’. E-safety is often defined as the safe and responsible use of technology. This includes the use of the internet and other means of communication using electronic media (eg text messages, gaming devices, email etc).
It is important that we equip children with the skills they need to keep themselves safe so they can experience the internet positively and responsibly.

During Safer Internet Week we wanted to reinforce this message to the children.

Safety rules:
Don’t talk to strangers (in real life or on the internet)

Always tell an adult if you don’t like something.

Never give out any details on the internet.

Play games for your age.

Guidance at home

Parents and Guardians play an essential role in supporting children in learning about how to stay safe online. Please find a number of links to provide you with the relevant guidance to help support your child.

Reading List:
If you are interested in extending your child’s knowledge through a love of books, here are some recommended stories linked with internet safety. All good libraries and bookstores stock these texts available.

South Tyneside Basketball Finals 20

16th January 2020A Rogers

Today 14 pupils from KS2 competed at Temple Park Leisure Centre in the South Tyneside H4H qualifiers.

Our 2 teams competed with wonderful team spirit against 28 other teams – with the aim of reaching the H4H Finals night on 7th February 2020.

The drive, focus and sportsmanship from our teams was second-to-none, it was even commented upon by the Eagles coaches. The children gave 100% to their team in each and every game.

Our team 1 topped their morning group winning all 5 games convincingly, while team 2 also finished the group stages in 1st place with 4 wins and 1 loss.

Team 1 advance to the knockout stages and faced Team 2 sadly. Despite taking an early lead Team 2 equalised and the game went to a penalty shoot out. Jayden stepped up and scored the winning basket.

Team 1 then advanced to play Mortimer 1 we won 8-0 to book our place at Finals Night!
