  Tue 16 May 2023 Miss Forster

  A wonderful volunteer, Jo Ellis from the charity, Urban Green facilitated our litter picking event in our local Westerhope Park. The pupil committee had a wonderful time in the sunshine collecting seven bags of rubbish including large cardboard boxes and giant plastic bottles. 

   

  Jo kindly said we are "all part of the green team now". 

   

  Well done Pupil Committee! 

  

• Kind news in our community!

  Mon 15 May 2023 Mrs Hay

  Look at this fantastic photograph of a super kind Year 1 learner, who's aim is to, in his own words, "Save the world”. This kind boy has started a litter picking club and recently this has been recognised by Newcastle City Council due to the fantastic work he has been doing in Westerhope and the surrounding areas with litter picking. He has now collected 56 bags of rubbish off the streets! 

  A big thank you to his proud parents for sharing this wonderful kind news! We are so proud of him too! What an inspiration. 

   

  Here is a great photograph of our kind super star with the newly elected councillor, Adam Mitchel.

• Year 5 Northumbria University visit

  Thu 04 May 2023

  Year 5 have had a fantastic day culturing and testing bacteria in the lab at Northumbria University. They even got the chance to extract DNA from their samples using some really high-tech equipment. They worked maturely and sensibly all day and were a credit to our school. Well done Year 5!
