Class Two really enjoyed their first yoga session this week. They practiced poses and worked together to combine movements.
Organised criminal gangs target, recruit, and exploit children and young people to transport and sell drugs.
We can help disrupt this activity by spotting the signs and reporting our concerns if we notice something isn’t quite right.
The Prevention Through Education Team has created the attached e-leaflets to raise awareness. Please take a moment to read the information. A copy will also be emailed to parents and carers via parent pay.
On Monday, some of our footballers took part in the Bart Ripon Cup at Washington Hub. The boys played fantastically and represented the school superbly.
Our team were almost through to the semi finals as they were on equal points with Westoe Crown in their group. Unfortunately we lost out due to goals scored. Well done to St Matthew’s who won on penalties in the final.
The sun was shining on Class 3 today but it was very chilly. The children enjoyed the beginning of their new tennis topic in PE, learning to control the ball using their racquets.
We are immensely proud of Harriet, who embodies our values of learning and caring.
Harriet found some money at the fun fair and when she was unable to return it to its owner she decided to make up two packs for people who are homeless and donate them to Hebburn Helps. She wrote a list of what she needed, went shopping for the items and even added some of her pocket money to make the money up.
We were so thrilled to invite parents in to take part in our first Key Stage 2 Reading Events this week. Class 1 and Class 2 were joined by some of their grown ups to take part in a reading lesson in class. (Apologies, I didn’t get any photos of Class 1 yesterday). It was lovely to have you join us and we look forward to hosting lots more future events!

Children in Year 1 had fun learning alongside their parents and carers. They were joining in with some phonics games and activities. By far the best part of the day was the game of word and sound Bingo when Class 8 and Class 9 won some extra playtime!
The SSOC had a brilliant time delivering a variety of Superhero Based Multi-Sport activities to EYFS groups in attendance at Temple Park on Thursday. They developed both their confidence and leadership skills.
