Emily Veitch last week attended the royal opening at the Old Fire Station in Sunderland.
This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for Emily after being recognised for her invention, firstly as part of the Winter Gardens exhibition, and then at this event. The attending groups had been chosen personally by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge themselves as they wished to meet these children from the region.
Emily was one of 3 little inventors who attended; the 2 other children. She represented Stanhope Primary proudly as a pupil. Emily was the first little inventor to speak to the Duke and Duchess, which she did considerably well holding conversation with both William and Kate and the Lord Lieutenant of Tyne and Wear.
It goes without saying that we are extremely proud of Emily – Congratulations, what a wonderful memory.
Our 8 amazing athletes ran, jumped and threw themselves into the Tyne and Wear Sportshall Athletics Finals, competing for South Tyneside against Newcastle, Sunderland, North Tyneside and Gateshead boroughs on Saturday.
Overall the Boys’ Team finished 3rd and Girls’ Team 4th. Congratulations to our 8 pupils, we are very proud of you all.
On Friday 23rd February 2018, the children in Year 2 found the three primary colours – red, blue and yellow. They explored mixing the colours to make the secondary colours – purple, green and orange.
We looked at the artist Mark Rothko and created art in the same style. The children made rectangular shapes with the different colours they had created and thought about their moods to match the colours.
On Monday 19th February 2018, the children in Year 2 changed materials by rolling, squeezing, stretching and twisting. The children made different shapes and considered the forces used.
As you are aware, Mrs Barker held a Phonics meeting with Year 1 parents to discuss the upcoming Phonics screen test for Year 1 children.

In computing this half term, Year 5 have will be creating their own website. The website will be about their humanities topic of Amazing Americas. They have designed their own homepage this week.
Today our school council visited South Shields Town Hall. We were shown around the building and given lots of information about it’s history.
We visited the reception room where people get married and the council chambers where Councillors make big decisions. The mayor and mayoress popped in to see us and showed us their chains.
The children really enjoyed their visit and learned a lot.
