A post today from Scarlett Raven – The First Augmented Reality Artist – whose work inspired Year 6 in 2014 – this is “the best present ever”!
Do you recognise anyone?!
Thank-you to everyone who donated to the Royal British Legion’s 100th Poppy Appeal.
Well done to KS2 Running Club for completing their Poppy Run on 11th November.
Thank-you to Year 6 who represented school at the Remembrance Parade in Jarrow on Remembrance Sunday.
And finally, thank-you to Mr Taylor for making a fitting tribute outside school using our recycled plastic bottle poppies and the two art instillations from the There But Not There art project.
This week the children of Dunn Street have been taking part in lots of activities around the theme of ‘One Kind Word’ for Anti-Bullying Week. As a school we have looked at what kindness is and how to be kinder to ourselves and others. We started the week with the whole school wearing odd socks to celebrate our differences.
The Countryfile team are back and raising life-changing amounts of money by donning their walking boots.
Meet 14-year-old Alfie, and his sister, 12-year-old Elizabeth, two incredibly close siblings taking part in this year’s Countryfile Ramble to raise awareness and fundraise for BBC Children in Need.
Alfie and Elizabeth have always looked out for each other, so back in 2018, when Alfie was diagnosed with a type of cancer that resulted in him having his leg amputated, life was suddenly turned upside down for both siblings.
As Alfie worked hard to teach himself how to walk, cycle and swim again using his prosthetic leg, your donations meant that Hope House Hospice could be there to provide vital emotional and wellbeing support to Elizabeth, to help manage her emotions and ensure she had the opportunity to meet other families in similar situations.
Please join us for Countryfile Ramble on Sunday 24th October, BBC One at 5.55pm to watch as Alfie, Elizabeth and other inspirational children and young people walk to change young lives.
Year 6 joined in and completed their own Countryfile Ramble to help change lives… we headed to a rather soggy Greenwell Ford in Lanchester and, thanks to Mr Greenwell, had a wonderful stomp in the fresh air! Our sponsor money is already pouring in and we are absolutely thrilled to have already raised an astonishing £227… and we’re not finished yet!!
Sumdog’s South Tyneside Maths Contest is now over!
Year 6 was the winner in the contest. Congratulations!
In total, 67 students answered 9920 questions correctly.
We are delighted to announce that we have officially achieved Plastic Free Schools status.
Well done to last year’s Year 5/6 Class for their hard work in completing a range of challenges – especially considering the challenging year we had.
Their incredible work is helping to create huge waves of positive environmental change from our schools to our Parliament. The programme has inspired and empowered us and achieving Plastic Free Schools status is just the start of our journey. When we work together, we can begin to free our world of pointless single-sue plastic.
Thanks again to last year’s Year 5/6 for their time, talent, energy and enthusiasm. Surfers Against Sewage are proud to have worked with them.
Please help us by showing your continued support…
Bring reusable water bottles to school.
Avoid the use of glitter.
Try to limit the amount of single-use plastic.
