Memorable Events

Sunderland Runs

Our Year 5 Mini Police officers attended the annual Sunderland Runs 3km, 10km and half marathon event. They worked incredibly hard to help set up the stalls at the event, handed out medals, water, snacks and end of race bags to the runners.

The children were fantastic and excellent ambassadors for the school.

VE Day Celebrations

To mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the children came into school wearing red, white and blue clothes and completed a variety of activities to help them understand the significance of this occasion. Some children brought into school stones and painted them either red, white or blue to create a special VE display on the school field. At lunchtime, we all gathered outside and had a special VE Day lunch, with traditional British food - the fish and chips was incredibly popular!

Adam Whitehead Assembly

A huge thank you to Adam Whitehead who visited the school today. The former Olympic Team GB swimmer talked about his professional career and water safety. The assembly was both informative and entertaining. Hopefully, it inspired many of our youngsters to take up swimming in a safe environment and go for gold!

Librarians' Competition

There were over 50 fantastic entries for the librarians' robot themed competition, so very well done to everyone who took part.

Congratulations to the 12 winners who collected their prizes!

Valentine's Day Raffle & Biscuits

Autumn Term Reading Target Winners

Here are some of our fabulous winners from the Accelerated Reader Autumn Term Target draw who got to choose a new book to keep from our Book Vending Machine! Well done.

Children in Need 2024

As part of our money raising activities, the children brought spare change into school. We hoped to collect enough to lift a 'bag of worries' on a counterweight in order to help our pupils understand the important work of Children in Need. We had enough coins to lift the heavy weight four times!

In addition to activities in class, all the children gathered on the school field to release balloons with positive messages attached. We also had fun blowing bubbles. See the gallery below for a selection of photographs.

Remembrance Day 2024

 To mark Remembrance Day, the children decorated a wooden poppy cross and we placed them in a special remembrance area at the front of our school as a mark of respect to those who have fought to uphold our country’s values and freedoms.
 

'They shall grow not old
As we that are left to grow old.
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them.'

Grandparents' Tea Party

As a thank you for all the amazing support our grandparents provide, we held a tea party in the school hall with lots of tasty treats and a chance to relax and have a chat.
