Year 5 received a very special package from N.A.S.A this week!
The special package contained lots of different artefacts linked to the moon landing and space such as:
- Images of the moon landing
- Moon rocks and scientific equipment to investigate with
- Blue prints of Apollo 11
- Video footage of the moon landing
- A 360 degree tour of inside Apollo 11
- Books about space and our solar system
- Newspaper articles
Year 5 spent time in groups exploring and analysing each artefact, writing down key questions they had about each source.
This provoked a lot of conversation around our space theme and encouraged us to think about different sources of information.

Attendance last week was very positive with all class above 92%, we had so many children with 100%, keep up the hard work.

Well done to the class winners of Times Tables Rock Stars ‘Battle Of The Bands’ tournament for Autumn Term 1/Week 4:
3 Red: 73 Points
3 Blue: 27 Points
4 Red: 143 Points
4 Blue: 387 Points
5 Red: 6 Points
5 Blue: 17 Points
6 Red: 99 Points
6 Blue: 91 Points
Keep up the good work 3 Red, 4 Blue, 5 Blue & 6 Red!
Let’s see the runners-up classes try to reclaim the year group trophy next week in the new battle which launches each Monday. Good luck Rock Stars!

Today we carried out our first fire drill of the year. As always, the children were amazing but I was particularly impressed by how well our new nursery and reception children did. Well done everyone!
Nursery Provision
We are currently reviewing our nursery provision, to check that it continues to meet the needs of our parents/carers and children in the future.
We would really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to complete the survey using the link below.
This will close on Monday 16th October.
Thank you for your time.
Dear Community,
South Tyneside Local Authority have produced a wonderfully informative booklet called South Tyneside’s Ordinarlily Available Provision – Expectations of all education settings.
Mrs Moody (Head Teacher) and I, attended one of the launch meetings on Wednesday along with many other educational professionals, social care and health professionals and parents and carers to discover and discuss what should be in place for children and young people with additional needs.
I have attached the booklet so please have a look through it so that you can gain a greater understanding of what to expect from your educational setting, Local Authority and partner services.
