Today we tried a selection of fruits from strawberries to plums, kiwi and pineapple! We know we get lots of nutrients from fruit and absolutely loved being able to try them!

Olivi and Anthonhy came in from Active Sunderland to show us the benefits of mindfulnss and meditation. We had a great time and know that our mental health is just as important as our physical health.

Our 8 tennis stars represented us brilliantly at Silkswoth Sports Complex. They were impeccibly behaved and showed real sportsmanship too-we are very proud of you all!

Year 3 have had an amazing day visiting Washington Wetlands Centre! We had the opportunity to see a huge variety of birds and other wildlife whilst also taking part in some fun and informative outdoor activities. Some of saw squirrels for the first time and absolutely loved watching the animals in their natural habitats.

As usual, the children were a credit to the school as their behaviour was fantastic and they had some great questions for the staff at the centre. The staff at Washington Wetlands Centre were really impressed!

Take a look at some of our photographs from the day.
