Whole School PE Challenges 1-7 …

19th January 2021N Noble

We live in a world full of challenges. Going out and meeting friends is not happening, hobbies are cancelled and the internet gives you trouble when you when you should join Google Meets and complete your work!!Ā  Also, one of the most important place in the world for all of us is closed! (I mean Dunn Street!)

This family decided to send even more challenges to the school team (students, teachers and other staff). PE Challenges! They send out two challenges a week and the goal is for each of us to try and try to overcome the challenge.

A challenge can be really hard, but donā€™t be discouraged! The purpose is just to have fun and get away from the computers in between lessons. You can also challenge your whole family, relatives, friends, pets, etc.

Let’s all challenge ourselves!

… how many of these challenges can you complete?Ā  Be sure to let your teacher know and we will see which classes have risen to the challenge!!

Choir Bring Early Christmas Cheer

3rd December 2019N Noble
“Peace on earth will come to stay, when we live Christmas every day.”
Thank-you to the residents of Curran House Mews and Joseph Collins House for their hospitality and enthusiasm – we thoroughly enjoyed singing for you and wish you all a Very Merry Christmas.Ā  Once again, thanks to Big Local Central Jarrow for organising the event.
Received today, from the organisers:
“Just a note to say can you give a big thank you to the children from Dunn Street Primary School- who sang Christmas songs at Curran Mews this afternoon.
The children were excellent and brought a smile to everyone’s face with their mix of new and traditional songs and carols. It was lovely to hear a personal favourite of mine- World in Union but all the songs were wonderful.The soloists did a great job backed up by the rest of the choir. I think they enjoyed the visit from Santa.
We wish you a merry Christmas or a couple of other traditional carols!
Thank you once again. We hope we can work with you and the children again.”
