Thurston OEC

15th March 2025A Rogers
Day 1 –  we have had a wonderful time exploring the nearby area, walking in the woods, up a stream and to the crag. We have been amazed at the spectacular scenery. It is a beautiful place.
Tonight we’ve had a delicious tea, played some games and we are looking forward to going in the barn and taking on the teachers at table tennis and air hockey.
Tomorrow we are looking forward to climbing, canoeing on Coniston Water and a mountain hike!
Day 2 – Another great day here at Thurston️
Yewdale group have walked from Hodge Close to Cathedral Quarry, they had to follow the route carefully and took it in turns to take the lead. They used their teamwork skills to walk through the tunnels in complete darkness. After that, they went ghyll scrambling where they had lots of laughs.
Grizedale group have been walking in the mountains. We aimed to get to the top of the Old Man of Consiton but the wind made it too difficult. Instead we opted to explore the mines, the rocks and tarns and we even attempted the “Squeeze of Doom”, which was easier for some than others! A great day had by all.
Langdale group have been on the lake. They had to make their own canoe boats with wood planks and ropes, they headed onto the water. They had a pit stop on the other side of the lake and enjoyed a snack. To end, some of them were brave enough to jump into Coniston Lake, it was freezing!
We are now enjoying some chill time in the lounge before tea.
Day 3 – Yewdale group visited Tarn Hows, they went on an adventure looking for money trees. Along the way, they seen lots of Belted Galloway cows and were very sensible when they had to walk past. They climbed Black Crag and enjoyed the amazing views. They all returned to the Thurston site where they tackled an obstacle course using teamwork skills and played some games in the climbing wall. A very busy day!
Grizedale group have been ghyll scrambling where we walked through a stream, up slope, to a pool where we had a swim and then walked back down. This afternoon we have been in the back woods, building dens, making our own mini-fires. We topped it all off with toasted marshmallows and hot chocolate. Ready for tea now!
Langdale group have also been ghyll scrambling – traversing the rocks and obstacles on the way up and down the N we had a dip and plunge into the ice waters. This afternoon some of us braved the heights of Thisthwaite Crag. We absailed down 5r cliff face. Great teamwork and resilience shown.
Langdale group today achieved a great feat – they reached the summit of the Old Man of Coniston!! They worked so hard to scale the mountain, celebrated at the peak and enjoyed exploring various slate mines on their descent. They should sleep well tonight. Congratulations. Super proud of you all today .
Yewdale group went onto the lake this morning to canoe. They had to work together as a team to navigate across the lake, the wind made this even harder! They stopped off to have a snack and a hot drink for jumping off the jetty, it was so cold but everyone joined in. The group spent the afternoon climbing trees, again using teamwork. Another very busy day.
Grizedale group have been to Cathedral quarry where we planned and followed our own routes. We spotted a lot of wildlife on the way. We saw inside an old mine and followed the tunnels to a huge room. When inside, we located a geocache and left a trinket in exchange for another. We scrambled up a rocky slope to look down into the cave. Later on, we navigated our way out of the tunnels in the absolute darkness-no torches. In the afternoon we canoed across Coniston and learned about Donald Campbell. We finished with a dip in the lake. It was awesome.

We have sadly come to the end of our Thurston journey this year. We have all had an amazing time filled with happy memories and fun adventures. We are looking forward and sharing some of our stories from this week. We will be in touch as soon as we have an arrival time. See you all soon!

E-Safety Week

3rd March 2025A Rogers

E-Safety Week February 2025

Year 2

On Monday, Year 2 discussed what E-Safety is. We discussed what technology is and how to keep safe when using the many different forms (phones, tablets and/or laptops). Ask us about STOP! CLOSE! TELL! On Tuesday, Year 2 discussed some key vocabulary based around our theme of ‘Too good to be true (scamming). We completed a word search to find these important words. We also took part in our E-Safety Lesson, which takes place every half term. On Wednesday, we discussed how to protect ourselves when using the internet and shared how we could look after our own wellbeing. On Thursday, we completed a competition poster. We wanted to advise other children of how to be safe in order to not become a victim of scamming. We know we should not share our name, age, address, school or passwords to others. We should never click pop ups and always STOP! CLOSE! TELL! We shared who our trusted adults were both in and out of school. On Friday, we shared a wonderful story about Computer Gremlins. We were able to say what was the right and wrong thing to do. We stopped the gremlins coming into our classroom by using STOP! CLOSE! TELL! Year 2 have enjoyed a range of discussions, activities and videos over the last 7 days. We had assemblies from our schoolteachers and via the internet – Safer Internet Day 2025 online live assembly. We have also enjoyed some guided reading activities finding out about the history of the internet and safer internet day.

Year 3

Year 3 investigated phishing scams. We looked at the clues that tell us that an email is real or someone who is trying to get out data or worse- our money! We found out that we should look for spelling and grammar errors (we were really good at that) and that phishers don’t really know who we are and are trying to catch us out. We were phishing detectives as we looked at a range of real and fake emails. We even had a competition to see who could write a scam email the best. It was really hard to deliberately spell things wrong!

Year 4

In year 4, we did many things to spread awareness of E-Safety week. We completed many crosswords, word searches and puzzles using this year’s theme. We looked at scams and discussed what they are. We then talked specifically about scams that target children and young adults. We then created our own scams. We discussed the features a good scammer
might use and talked about the reasoning behind this. We talked after about keeping an eye out for scams and if you were not sure, always to check with an adult. For our half termly E-Safety lesson, we discussed cyberbullying. We talked about what this was and how it affected people. We discussed ‘Stop’ (Several Times On Purpose) as our key for noticing when someone was being bullied or cyberbullied. We watched an E-Safety video showing a scenario and paused at different steps to discuss what we might do in the situation and what we could learn from this. We shared ideas on post-it notes (lilac for what made us hurt or uncomfortable online and yellow for where these dangers came from). We then shared our ideas as a class.

Year 5

During E-Safety week. Year 5 looked at ways to stay safe online and the importance of this. On Monday, the children identified online scams and the history of them. They learned that lots of these scams fall under the category of phishing and how they can report them. On Tuesday, Year 5 identified positive and negative ways of using the internet. The children identified that the internet can be used in a positive way to play games, read books and research. On Wednesday, Year 5 looked at how to stay safe online and created their own five ways to stay safe online. On Thursday, the children looked at ‘Too Good to Be True’ and spotted the scams. On Friday, Year 5 created their own digital footprint and were surprised at how much they use the internet. In our Guided Reading sessions, the children learned some interesting facts such as the internet was created in the 1960s and how the use of a mobile phone has changed over time.

Year 6

Year 6 have taken part in various activities linked to e-safety and scams throughout E-safety week. They have watched a video on scams, completed a guided reading session including answering comprehension questions. As well as this they took part in a lesson on scams and another one linked to phishing, all the time thinking about how best to keep safe especially as they are getting older and therefore may have more freedom online.  They also enjoyed completing a crossword linked to e-safety and designing and creating a poster for the competition.

South Tyneside Schools Boccia Finals 2025

21st February 2025A Rogers
Yesterday the 2025 Stanhope Boccia Team went to Temple Park to compete against 26 other teams to win a place in the County Final.
We had prepared well so we went in feeling confident.
We had a past Boccia team expert helping us to coach this year so victory was assured.
After 10 tough matches, Stanhope A bowled home with a BRONZE medal and Stanhope C, grabbed a GOLD. We were so proud!
A big shout out to Stanhope B, who won all of their matches but just got pipped to a place in the quarter finals on points.
They all played so well!
I am very proud of them all and special thanks to our deputy coach who came back to school every Monday to coach and pass on his expertise.
