It took place at Northumberland County Ground, Jesmond on the indoor courts. The children came second out of four schools. They did extremely well considering they were up against tough competition. Their attitude and behaviour were excellent.

      <![CDATA[It's been an egg-citing week in Reception...nine eggs hatched, resulting in some extremely cute chicks!  The eggs came from Bill Quay Farm, and the chicks (a rare breed) will be with us until the beginning of next week.  They've fascinated the children, and some of them have drawn some great pictures.

      <![CDATA[Year 6 have worked extremely hard this week during their SATs tests - well done to you all!  A special mention must go to Jack M, who persevered despite breaking his arm only two weeks ago, and to Amy, who had to struggle on whilst suffering from a virus.  We look forward to the SATs results in July.
Harriet made a 'pinata' to celebrate the end of SATs, and the children thoroughly enjoyed whacking it until all of the sweets fell out!
