• Year 5/6 Dance club presentation

  Tue 28 Nov 2023 Mrs Dalkin

  Some children from Years 5/6 have been working with Eliot Smith Dance company to produce a presentation on the importance of looking after our rivers. The children joined workshops for six weeks and then we invited our parents/carers to come and watch the video. They were all very impressed at how well our dancers performed. Well done everyone and a big thank you to Eliot Smith for arranging. 😊

  

• Year 6 Baltic Open Submission - 'Marras'

  Fri 24 Nov 2023 Mrs Thompson

  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!

• Commando Joe club

  Wed 15 Nov 2023 Mrs Dalkin

  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.
