Thank you to all parents who came into school to share their child’s class liturgy. Both Redacre class and Year 4 did a beautiful liturgy which highlighted key Gospel values and started the school day off in such a special way.

Thank you to all who came along and shared a fabulous liturgy with Fleetrock class this week. The children sent forth a message of love and highlighted the importance of self reflection and thanking God for all that we have.

Year 5 had an extremely enjoyable and interesting trip to the Centre for Life today where they had an opportunity to take part in various experiments and workshops which extended their understanding of forces in space.

Congratulations to the A team who, after playing in the Barry Sutherland Cup last night, managed to qualify for the final.  More details about the final will follow.

As part of the Year 6 ‘Crime and Punishment’ topic, Superintendent Milner, from Northumbria Police, called into Year 6 to talk to the children all about the work of the police force and the detection of crime.  Inspector Milner talked about DNA, finger printing, footprint detection, use of GPS in locating criminals and a brief history of the police force. The children ended their talk with Inspector Milner highlighting the importance of e-safety. The children and staff would like to thank Superintendent Milner for his time and very informative session – the children loved it!

The school enjoyed a fantastic theatre production of ‘The Jungle Book’. There were lots of songs, acting and role play. Thank you to Image Theatre productions for providing the children with such a memorable occasion. I’m sure there will be lots of creative writing to follow in school.

I would like to wish all of our children, parents and staff a restful and fun half term holiday. School will reopen on Monday 27th February.

Mr L J Duncan
