Year 6 Leavers

10th July 2019A Rogers

Today our Y6 pupils enjoyed their final trip, from 5 days worth of various visits.

We started the day at the wonderfully captivating Victoria Tunnel in Newcastle. We met Basil an 89 year old evacuee who spoke to the pupils, then we ventured into the tunnels.

From here we had a sun filled lunch at the Quayside, followed by a tour of the Baltic, then we experienced the viewing gallery and completed our own bridges inspired art work.

Enjoy your 2 days at your secondary schools. Mr Rogers

Basketball Regional Finals 2019

5th July 2019A Rogers
Our superbly talented Y6 Basketball Team today competed in Newcastle reaching the Semi Finals!
They were undefeated in the group stages stringing together an impressive run of results. They won 16-6 vs Gosforth East Middle School, 16-0 vs King Edwards, 18-4 vs. St John’s, 18-8 vs. Glynwood B and 18-2 vs. Mortimer Primary to advance to the final 16 teams in the tournament.
Here they beat Gosforth Junior Academy 4-0 to proceed to the Quarter Finals. In a tense match they battled through to win 4-0 vs. Wellfield Primary.
In the Semi Finals, in what was an extremely physical match we unfortunately lost 2-0 vs. Glynwood Primary School A Team.
Congratulations to the team, who were sadly representing Stanhope for the final time. It has been a pleasure over the last 3 years to watch you all develop skills, competitiveness, sportsmanship and flourish to become wonderfully talented pupils and athletes. I’ve been privileged to lead you to many events and see this.
I truly am so proud of you and all of the pupils who represent our school. They are a credit to Stanhope.
Congratulations once again. Mr Rogers.

 

Year 6 – The Elephant Thief

2nd July 2019A Rogers
This year we have thoroughly enjoyed reading Jane Kerr’s wonderful story of Danny and Marharaja on their journey to Belle Vue in Manchester.
The Elephant Thief has captivated us so much that we decided to write to the author herself.
Today we received personalised letters answering our own individual questions from Jane! We are astounded by this gesture. A lovely memento to keep.

Virgin Money – Year 5

2nd July 2019S Office

As part of Careers Week at Stanhope, we were visited by a community banker who works for Virgin Money. Paula came to talk to us about her role as community baker and the children learned about savings, mortgages, current accounts and charity work. The children also chatted about Sir Richard Branson and how built his Virgin Empire. The children were interested in the idea of being a entrepreneur and Paula explained how they could get involved with the Virgin Money ‘Make £5 Grow’ scheme. The children had some amazing ideas for small businesses to make their £5 grow.
