Y6 SATS

The year 6 SATs take place next week! All of year 6 have worked hard and have nothing to worry about. All they need to do is remember to try their very best, make sure they have a good nights sleep and a tasty breakfast before a test and arrive at school promptly. They also need to remember to bring in their P.E Kit and anything they need for Kenya work every day...and remember their things for their party on Friday.
Oh yes and they also need to keep smilling!

News From Y6

Year 6 have been working really hard this term but have been having lots of fun too!
They enjoyed their visit to the CLC where they made some great animations and learned about WW2 through a role playing game!
They also had a fabulous time completing the photo trail on the Quayside and produced some brilliant collages.
The children in year 6 are trying very hard with their SATs revision and I’m sure that this will continue. They are all looking forward to the time after the SATs when they are going to Kingswood for a whole week to have lots and lots of fun.
Special congratulations go the swimming team who recently won the Western Gateshead Swimming Gala and Romany Mc Clure who gained a merit in her grade 3 violin exam! WELL DONE.

Dear parents and Children

We thank you for all the shoes we collected for the Blue Peter Appeal. We collected an astonishing amount of shoes, around about 250 pairs. Last friday we loaded them all in to Miss Hunt's And Mr Mc Carthy's Cars and took them to the collection point at Clarks shoes in the Metrocentre .As you know we are sending them to Malawi to exchange for money and equipment for the children’s corners in Malawi. Blue Peter gives many thanks to those who brought shoes in to our school to help the Aids Orphans in Malawi. But we don’t stop here! We stop collecting the shoes on the Friday the 15th.

Many Thanks

The Make Poverty History team Fraser,Matthew and Nicholas.

A special well done to Fraser for organising the collection at school! Also thanks to Anna and Kate who helped carry all the shoes to the Metrocentre.
