Attendance Winners

7th December 2021Cathryn Henderson

Our school councillors set a competition to win South Shields Football Club season tickets. They decided that the competition would be won by the class that had the best attendance over a whole week. Reception Class won the competition so our councillors went to Reception Class to tell them the exciting news!

Mrs. Shepherd and her class were very excited and proud of themselves. Year 6 Student Councillors then chose a number at random and the winner of the season tickets was announced. Well Done Reception Class!

They have made a fabulous start to their school year and are so engaged and eager to learn. They have thoroughly enjoyed dough disco, meditation and our funky Friday sessions. The children have also created a wonderful class display with their self-portraits.

Well done Reception!
