It's June and we are at the beginning of the last half term of the year, with weather that looks ready to welcome us into a wonderful summer. While the forecast can be changeable, we still need to be sun safe with caps, hats and sun cream, as we look to make the most of the outdoors and wonderful space we have around school.

Workshops and Visits

We are gearing up for a busy term. On Wednesday, all our staff are heading to a cluster of other schools to share the work we have been doing around writing and maths. This is a wonderful opportunity to gauge how well are children are achieving, compared with children of the same age in different parts of the city. Next week, Yr 6 and some Yr 5 children are heading off to Derwent Hill for the week, while we welcome Sunderland University into school next Friday to film and deliver their mini medics programme to Yr 5/4 - inspiring our children to possibly follow a career in medicine.

Workshops and Visits

Mrs Beck, one of our governors, took the opportunity to pop into school on Monday, as part of her work with Fulwell Community Library. While she was with us, she handed out our Leavers' hoodies to Yr 6. This was the result of some gentle pressure from our Yr 6 school councillors Frances and Dylan, who were very persuasive. They helped choose the design, write the parental letter and their hard work paid off. The hoodies look extremely smart.

Sports Day

Just to remind you that our Sports Day and Family Picnic takes place on Wednesday 19th June. The long range forecast indicates that it will be mostly sunny and 12 degrees, which are not quite - but almost - good conditions. We look forward to seeing you there.
