Year 6 – Friendship Week 2018

By S Office21st February 2018

As part of Friendship Week 2018, Year 6 have been taking part in a variety of creative activities. First of all, they discussed what makes a good friend and selected their own friends to identify their excellent qualities.

 

Later, the children designed a ‘hand’ filled with illustrations as well as words and phrases linked with friendship. Year 6 will be creating a friendship tree using their decorated hands.

 

At the end of the week, all of the children made their own friendship bracelet using a variety of colours of wool. They were able to choose whether they wanted to add beads or Lego pieces to their finished bracelet.

 

It has definitely been a week full of positivity and celebrating friendship.

Netball – South Tyneside Qualifiers

19th February 2018A Rogers

Today our 7 Y5 and Y6 pupils played superbly to qualify for the South Tyneside Schools’ Netball Finals.

We played two matches winning 11-1 and 6-0 to advance to the finals that will be held at Whitburn Academy next Tuesday.

Brooke Urwin scored some amazing goals in both matches, Charlie Bates (c) led the team confidently with commanding performances, as well as Aston Hall with his precise footwork. They along with Sahib Basra, Maddison Fontaine, Erika Judd and Beth Thompson communicated so well and combined together to produce such wonderful results.

Their progress with this new sport to Stanhope in just a matter of weeks is impressive to say the least.

Good Luck next week – we know you can do it!

Healthy Breakfast Morning

On Wednesday 7th February 2018 Stanhope Primary School hosted its FIRST EVER Healthy Breakfast morning.. and what a success! We raised a total of £388!!!!

 

A massive thank you to all parents/carers who came in and had breakfast with their children and supported this cause. All of the proceedings go towards attendance and well being based initiatives in school.

 

Of course, this wouldn’t of gone ahead without the organisation from Mrs Thompson so a big thank you to her and all other staff who helped on the day!

 

As it was such a success, this is something we hope to do again in the future!!

Rules and Laws – British Values

By A Rogers5th February 2018

As part of British Values Week, Mrs Wright and Mrs Boardman joined forces to teach Year 5 about Rules and Laws in our country. We discussed why we have laws and looked at some of the different laws that have been passed in our country to date. We also looked at the consequences of not following these laws and the different types of courts that look at different cases to do with civil and criminal law. The children then created their own list of laws deciding which were the most important to them. It was very interesting hearing the children’s ideas such as no violence, no smoking, no animal cruelty, no driving with mobile phones, no harassment and no using offensive language to name a few! Some good debates and ideas. Well done Year 5!
