Runners-Up
Rocket Fund! 🚀
As parents/carers we appreciate that you all want the best education for your children. As a school, staff and volunteers work tirelessly to make sure they get the best education they deserve.
Along with traditional education, we rely on the support from technology and equipment to access lessons and teach your children to their full potential. We have noticed, we are running low on science and computing resources in school.
This week, we have launched a rocket fund account to raise money for computing and science resources. This is a page very similar to a go fund me page, and it allows parents/carers/grandparents/the public to make donations as big or small as they wish to the school. All of the money raised will go towards buying equipment.
We appreciate, that as a school we have regular activities/events in school that require a small donation/cost from parents/carers. With that in mind, even a small donation of £1.00 from parents would be appreciated. If you feel are able to donate more, that would be fantastic!!
To donate please click the link:

Please share this post and help us raise our target of £1383.00 and beyond!
Thank you!! 🚀🌝🥇
World Book Day – Book Fair 📚📖
Your child/ren will bring home a letter this afternoon with information regarding our next Book Fair. The Book Fair will take place from NEXT WEDNESDAY for 1 week. Although the Book Fair is normally held in November, we have decided it would be a great opportunity to host it during World Book Day week. Not only is it World Book Day, it will also coincide with the current Readathon Challange.
We usually use the Travelling Book Company however, we feel the books are quite expensive, so have decided to use The Book People; who offer a range of book for all ages at very reasonable prices. The Book Fair will be open from 8.15am, break times and from 3.15pm. Please feel free to bring your child to browse the selection. Your child/ren will also visit the The Book Fair with their class teachers.
** If you wish to send money into school with your child to purchase a book during break time or on their allocated slot with their class teacher, it MUST be in a sealed envelope with their name clearly displayed on the front – No cash will be accepted at the office or classroom door **
Thank you
Model Making
This half term, Year 4 have been studying The Iron Man by Ted Hughes in English. Since Christmas, they have written diary entries, letters, newspaper reports, recounts, poems and short stories.
In Design and Technology, the children worked in small groups to plan and create their own Iron Man model. They used a variety of recyclable items to build their metal monster and then they painted it.
The children are really pleased with their finished models and Miss Haygarth and Mrs Cooper are very impressed with their work too!
Yesterday our 14 Y5&6 netballers competed at Temple Park. Our A Team played superbly to qualify for the South Tyneside Schools’ Netball Finals on February 28th – Congratulations!
The B Team managed a win, draw and two defeats to finish third in their group and just miss out on progressing to the knock out stages.
The A Team won all 4 of their group games comfortably to go through as group winners to the semi-finals. Here they faced St. Aloysius A Team and won 6-2.
In the final they played a very strong Mortimer A side who narrowly deated us 4-3. However the top 3 sides adcance to the Netball Finals evening that will be held at Whitburn Academy 3:30-5:30pm.
Good Luck in 2 weeks time – we know you can do it!
