Wow, Reception are doing so well ticking off the different challenges for their Spring Reading Challenge. Keep it up everyone!
Our girls represented our school brilliantly on Monday at the Year 5 and 6 Girls’ Football Cup at Washington Hub. The girls started the day with a win against Forest View but the competition was strong and they were unable to secure another win in their next 3 matches. Aman said the girls played amazingly as a team and kept on battling for the win. Well done girls.

Today, class 5 had their first Parent Reading Event. It was wonderful to see so many grown ups taking part in a reading lesson. They all really enjoyed it too!
Remember, please check the newsletters for dates and times of future events.
“It was great to see how lessons are taught and how the children interact with the teacher.”
“I really enjoyed taking part and would definitely come to future events.”
“Great to see how the children are taught – it seems like a fun way to learn to read!”
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!
