Super Safety Squad

8th November 2019S Office

Yesterday our Super Safety Squad visited the Town Hall to meet with children from other schools to discuss the current topic of Fears and Pressures.  A topic which was voted most important by the children of Stanhope Primary and the children throughout South Tyneside.  Our Super Safety Squad were busy thinking of different ways to support all children with their fears and pressures.  There were some excellent ideas for advice and resources to help our children. Well done to our Super Safety Squad in continuing to help others!

South Tyneside Cross Country Finals 2019

8th November 2019A Rogers

Yesterday 31 pupils from KS2 competed at Temple Park Leisure Centre in the South Tyneside Cross Country Finals.

Each child completed in their respective year group events, comprising of between 60 and 80 children from various schools in the borough.

All of our children, performed well, working hard and demonstrating great determination.

Outstanding performers were:

Alexa (Y6) who was a convincing winner, leading from the start and growing stronger competition, by competition. Keep it up!

Bobby (Y3) was never headed in his race, storming to victory. A great talent for the future!

Ruby G (Y3) also finished in 3rd place with a great run to win the bronze medal.

Other Top 10 finishers included:
Ruby (Y3) 5th, Cassie (Y5) 6th, Jordan (Y4) 10th & Ruby (Y5) 10th.

The Y3 Girls and Year 6 Girls Teams were both winners of their age categories which is fantastic for them as it was, for some of them, their first competition representing Stanhope.

The Y4 Boys were 2nd and Y3 Boys 3rd in their team categories.

The Y4 Girls and Y5 Girls were 7th, Y5 Boys 8th and Y6 Boys finished 9th.

We therefore finished as 5th overall team scoring 421 points.

I am so proud of all of you. Every mile counts…🎖😁

South Tyneside Final 2019 – Results

 

A Surprise from Bob

6th November 2019S Office
On Tuesday morning, the children in Year 2 were shocked to discover a mysterious sack in the middle of the classroom. Inside were 26 letters for each of the pupils in Year 2. Everyone opened their envelopes to discover a letter from Bob, who is a character from the book ‘Man on the Moon’. Last month, the children each wrote a letter to Bob to ask him a range of questions about his life on the moon.
All of the children were thrilled with their letters and have taken them home to share with parents and carers.
What a morning full of surprises!

Library Relaunch!!

4th November 2019S Office
Relaunching our library
On Thursday in assembly, we relaunched our school library with the children. Over the past few weeks, the library has had a little revamp so the books are more accessible to the children. For the year groups, the books are grouped into topics, authors as well as genres, which allows the children to choose their library book with ease. Brand new books have also been added to the baskets for the children to borrow and return.
Children in Year 4 and 5 will be offered the opportunity to become a librarian. They will be responsible for keeping the library organised and tidy.
