Rajeev from Bhangracise came into school to work with all pupils and show them some Indian dance, drumming and singing. Pupils found it really fun and enjoyed participating in the activities.
A group of Key stage 3 pupils attended a sci fi event at The Word in South Shields yesterday. We had lots of fun designing our own monsters, using the green screen room and creating fun images with this. We also had the opportunity to meet Neil Bushnell, a sci fi illustrator who showed us how to create our own characters and allowed us to see some of his work. We even had time for a tour of the monster exhibition.
Well done Blue 1 and 2.
A group of pupils form Key stage 3 have been organising trips they would like to go on via The Key Fund.

Some pupils in school have entered a Primary Engineers competition…
The pupils were set the question, ‘If I was an engineer I would…’ and then could come up with any invention they would do. They then had to explain why their design should be chosen by an engineer to create.
We entered 9 primary children and 2 got merits for their ideas and 7 were given distinctions. There were 13 secondary pupils entered and they all received distinctions.
The 20 pupil will now have their work displayed at the Discovery Museum on Friday 25th May with other children from around the area. The work will then be judged again to identify overall regional winners.
