This week, we have started our new theme, Saxon King. To kick-start the theme, we spent time researching about Harold Godwinson. We researched about his early life, Wessex, The Battle of Stamford Bridge and The Battle of Hastings. To support our learning, we had a super afternoon re-enacting The Battle of Hastings with 4 Blue acting as the Anglo-Saxons and 4 Red acting as the Norman-French army. We had a fantastic time!
As part of our LMTW theme ‘Picture our Planet’, we researched four of the highland games, shotput, caber toss, hammer throw and tug âoâ war. We found out about the games’ history, the rules and how to play. Then we taught each other how to play the different games.
We had so much fun taking part in the games, bring on sports day!
Back in February, South Tyneside Council and Dogger Bank Wind Farm teamed up with Little Inventors to bring us ‘Powering the Future: South Tyneside and Beyond!’
Both our Year 4 and %ear 5 pupils took on an invention challenge, created for their year group.
This challenge focused on the role and uses of wind and kinetic energy- both forms of renewable energy.
All of our entries were amazingly creative and bursting with innovation!
Incredibly, out of the 167 ideas posted into the competition, our very own Tommy (4 Red) had his invention selected as a winning entry; he was then invited to meet the designers and have his invention brought to life!

Dear Parents & Carers,
If you have a child who has recently received an Autism diagnosis or received an Autism diagnosis some time ago, but you haven’t yet attended a support programme, please make note of the following:
EarlyBird, EarlyBird Plus and Teen Life are excellent and easily accessible programmes that assist you to develop a tool-kit of strategies that will enable you to support your child. Working along side other parents, carers and school staff (where they are able to attend), you will receive invaluable opportunities to share your experiences and pick up some ‘Top Tips’ along the way.
If you would like to attend, but a little worried about making that first step, please just get in touch with me and I will support you with this.
Please remember that this course is for the parents and carers of those children who have already received an Autism diagnosis.Â
Have a wonderful half-term break.
Ms Donkin
SENDCo
Well done to all the children who achieved 100% attendance for last week.
