The children in Year 2 have been learning about the Great Fire of London as part of their History work and in class they talked about Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot. At Art club this week the pupils created bonfire collages and drew fireworks in the night sky.
Our tag rugby team competed in the finals of the Gateshead tournament at Blaydon Rugby Club. They played four matches, one of which they won, one they lost and the final two were drawn. All of the children showed an amazing attitude and thoroughly enjoyed competing. Well done everyone!
