Year 6 have produced some amazing artwork with the theme, 'flat, yet sculptural.' The artwork in Fenwick's window this year is created using a 'flat, yet sculptural' theme too. We like to think Fenwick's graphic designers have been inspired by the works of our wonderful Year 6 artists!   The children used the challenging techniques of 'grid method' and 'scaling up' to create an exhibition of canine friends inspired by artist Lubaina Himid's 'flat, yet sculptural' works.   Our exceptional school cleaners and dog enthusiasts picked a selection of their favourites for inclusion in the Year 6 entry to the Baltic Open Submission 2024. If selected, the piece would be on display as part of an exhibition by local artists at the Baltic. We have been very excited about this submission.   The artwork is titled 'Marras' in a nod to the fact the dogs look as though they are pals, and the Geordie term for 'mates'. Let's keep our fingers crossed for further good news about our entry in Spring!    

Our Year 6 children are having a fabulous time at our Commando Joe club! Mrs Dalkin wandered past the club and couldn’t see any children! She panicked for a moment and then realised they were all hiding. They certainly had fun. 

Our year 5/6 girls’ football team went to a tournament organised by NUFC yesterday. They played 3 games and won 1. What an excellent effort! This was our first girls only football match - Miss Nicholls was very proud. Well done girls.

To celebrate filling up our treasure jars, Reception enjoyed toasting marsh mallows on a camp fire in our Forest Friday session. Mr Gray even showed up with his guitar! What a fabulous day we have had!

We have recently been working towards the first few points of our Green Tree Award with the Woodland Trust. One of the tasks was design a mascot who would help to spread the word about how important our trees are. Here are a few of our entries.
