Year 5 – Celebration of Learning!

How can a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind?

On Tuesday 9th July at 2pm our Year 5 families are welcome to join us on the KS2 playground to celebrate our children’s Expedition learning from this term. The event will then restart from 3 – 4 o’clock for any parents that wish to join us after school.

Please enter school and sign in at the school office. There will be somebody waiting to greet you and bring you down to the classrooms.

We will be using technology to access some of the activities and the final product so please bring along any phones, iPads or tablets.

We look forward to celebrating with you all!

Year 5 Crew!

Sharing our stories

I was honoured to welcome back Mr Miller this afternoon to view our wonderful display. He was blown away by the quality of the writing and spent a good half an hour reading the awesome D Day work our children had produced. He took lots of pictures and promised to share them with the other members of the British Legion.

Thanks for helping us to share our beautiful work Mr. Miller!

Class 8’s artwork

We have been working hard on our sketches today and I think they are looking amazing! I am so impressed with the different techniques they have used to add detail to these historic buildings in Thorne. Well done class 8!

Beautiful Work This Week

XP Gateshead Students Shine as Digital Leaders in Exciting Expeditions Project

Students at XP Gateshead are stepping up in a big way as Digital Leaders, diving into the world of technology to record content for their Expeditions. Teaming up with the XP Trust Comms Crew, these young tech enthusiasts are taking on the role of professional sound technicians. They’re not just learning the ropes of audio recording and editing – they’re skilfully mastering them, gaining hands-on experience that goes beyond the classroom and reaching into real-world applications.

It was so inspiring to see these students get stuck in and take charge of such an important project. Across our Trust, students are constantly proving that with enthusiasm and dedication, they can achieve anything. A massive appreciation to these Digital Leaders for going above and beyond!
