We researched all about hedgehogs and wrote an information text with a title and headings. We discovered lots of interesting facts.
Did you know that hedgehogs have a tail?
We also collected leaves and made our own autumn leaf person.
We are overwhelmed by the fantastic response to our request for donations for the food bank.
Your generosity has filled many boxes and will be presented on Thursday to Hospitality and Hope – South Tyneside who are trying, in partnership with schools like ourselves to ‘Tackle Food Poverty Together.’
We know that your kindness and thoughtfulness with be much appreciated by the recipients.
Thank you to all of the families who have supported what is a wonderful cause and organisation.
On Saturday morning we had a highly enjoyable and productive competition at Bedeswell Park in Jarrow. We had 14 budding distance runners competing (some representing our school for the very first time). They performed superbly, giving their all.
We had tremendous success with Alexa Reid (Y4) winning the South Tyneside category! Charlie Elliot (Y4) was 2nd and Jack Reach (Y4) 3rd. Well done!
