Last week, for their science project, the children in Year 5 were looking at different ways to make design and create sails.
Once again Stanhope hosted its traditional ‘Eggsters’ competition, where all of the children decorate hard boiled eggs. The children had lots of fun whilst decorating their eggs and the winners were revealed on the last day of term with all winners being presented with a chocolate easter egg! Yummy!
Well done to all of the winners!

During the final week of the term, Year 6 were extremely busy preparing and baking a variety of sweet treats for their bake sale. Items included: vanilla sponge, chocolate sponge, small iced buns, marble cake, chocolate crispies, rocky road, shortbread bites and many types of cookies.
Year 6 would like to thank everyone who purchased items during their sale. The fundraising event raised an amazing total of £101! This money (along with the money raised during the Christmas performances) will contribute to the Leavers Party and other end of Year 6 trips/treats.
Thank you again to everyone!
The nursery children at Stanhope Primary School had a wonderful time baking cookies before the Easter holiday’s. The children decorated the cookies into their favourite ‘Trolls’ characters. Well done Nursery!
Today our 7 netballers played in the Tyne and Wear County Finals at Blume Flames, Benton, Newcastle.
They, along with the top 3 qualifying teams from each of the boroughs making up Tyne and Wear County played some very competitive matches. We had a tough draw in group 2. Firstly we played eventual champions St. Benet’s (Sunderland), despite leading early in the game, we lost 3-1, Maddison Fontaine scoring.
Next we played Walkergate (Newcastle) and drew 3-3, Charlie Bates (Captain) scoring 2 goals, with Erika Judd adding the third.
Our third group match was against King’s Priory (North Tyneside): we dominated the match with some slick passing. Aston Hall scored 2 goals, Erika 1 and Brooke Urwin the fourth goal to win 4-0.
The fourth game was against Bailey Green (Newcastle) we won 3-2, Maddison scoring 2 goals and Brooke 1.
In the next match it was a close encounter, but for errors we could have won, but lost 3-2, Erika and Brooke scoring a goal a piece.
Our penultimate match we played Mortimer (South Tyneside), who would eventually finish 3rd overall. We sadly lost 5-1, Maddison scoring our only goal.
The final match of the day for our team was a great game, we drew 3-3 with Sacred Heart (Gateshead). Maddison, Aston and Brooke scoring 1 goal each.
Congratulations to the team who missed out on reaching the Medal Matches: Aston Hall, Sahib Basra, Maddison Fontaine, Erika Judd, Brooke Urwin & Beth Thompson.

Today, Year 6 had an egg-cellent time this morning decorating their eggs for the annual Eggsters competition. The children have loved cutting, sticking, painting and glittering their designs. Basically, it was a fantastic opportunity to be creative and make a mess!
The children are eager to find out the winners this Thursday in the Eggsters Assembly.
As you are aware, on Thursday 15th March 2018 Stanhope Primary School were inspected by Ofsted. During the one day visit, many aspects of the school were seen with an overall outcome of Good.

Thank you to parents who gave up their time to speak to the inspector, parents who accessed the Parent View questionnaire and of course to all of the staff and children.
On the run up to Easter, the nursery children have been on an exciting adventure to find hidden Easter Eggs in the school grounds. The children had a wonderful time and managed to find all of the hidden eggs!
On Thursday 22nd March 2018 the children in Year 5 visited Mortimer Comprehensive School to engage in transition activities. Although the children have another full year left at Primary School, it is felt that going into Comprehensive School in Year 5 can be very beneficial.
The children had a wonderful time and were well behaved as usual. Well done Year 5!
Between Monday 19th March and Friday 23rd March 2018 the children at Stanhope Primary School took part in a range of activities to raise money for Sport Relief. The children did an extra 15 minutes exercise per day, had a healthy lunch using Quorn on Wednesday and ran a sponsored ‘1 mile’ on Friday.
The children did excellent as always and we have raised lots of money for the charity. As we are still collecting sponsor money you will have to wait a little longer to find out what the grand total is!
Keep checking our website daily for updates.
Thank you to the children, parents, carers, friends and families for all of your donations.
