Great North Museum
Last week Year 5/6 visited the Great North Museum as part of their topic work.
Everyone had a great day and learnt lots about life in ancient Egyptian times.
Josh and Jack in Year 5/6 created a photostory documenting the things we got up to at the museum.
You can view the photostory that the boys made on the Life Channel TV located outside the school office.

Children's Foundation
Rachel Atkinson and Amanda Tweedy came in to share with the children of Winlaton West Lane, the fantastic work that this charity has done to raise money for children's hospitals in the North East. The children and staff of Winlaton West Lane were presented with a baton to inspire us to think of fun and silly ways we could raise money for this valuable charity.
Amanda Tweedy is a reception Mum and made her son Nathan very happy indeed when she came in to Reception to host a poster competition with Rachel. Any ideas for fundraising activities will be warmly welcomed!

Artist's Club!
Miss Reid is really enjoying working with some dedicated Year 3 and 4 pupils who attend Artist's club on Wednesdays. They have been exploring the techniques and styles of various artists and art movements, using paint, chalk, oil, pastels, watercolour pencils and ICT. Miss Reid wonders if there might be some pieces good enough to display in the Tate or Louvre!

The Really Good School Dinner
We would like to participate in the second Really Good School Dinner appeal this year.
10p is enough to buy a school meal in the World Food Programme's Appeal and helps to guarantee an education for some of the poorest children in the world. Without this help, many children have to stay at home and work to feed themselves.
As the world's largest humanitarian aid agency, the World Food Programme provides school meals for 22 million children in some 70 countries. It relies entirely on donations to continue its vital work.
Can you spare 10p each day to help feed a child in another part of the world ? 50p will feed a child for a week, only £2.00 to feed a child for a month. Please will you send your donations into school from Monday, 1st February 2010 to Friday, 5th February 2010 inclusive in an envelope marked 'The Really Good School Dinner'. Thank you.
Please follow the link to see if West Lane can fill the virtual dining room with the school lunches that we are able to purchase.
