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.
Year 5 have ‘dared to be different’ today! They look great!
Year 6 have had a fantastic morning at Battlefield Live – we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
Mr Rogers’ Team Won 3 1/2 – 2 1/2 over Mrs Craig’s team.
We had such an amazing time!
We have been asked to share this information on behalf of South Tyneside Council:
A new scheme is to be rolled out across South Tyneside to make sure children don’t go hungry in the school summer holidays.
The Council is to provide free meals at centres across the Borough for three days during the middle four weeks of the long school holidays to ease the pressure on struggling families.
There will be a mix of picnic – style food and hot food available depending on the day.

Year 5 have been very busy lately! They have taken part in an activity with a visitor from Operation Encompass who helped the them work together to understand what makes a good friendship.
They have also been voting for the engineer they feel deserves the £500 funding, in an online project called I’m an Engineer Get Me Out Of Here! They have really enjoyed asking questions to the participants and finding out about the variety of skills needed to become an engineer. Some of the children were inspired to become engineers themselves!
