Every year our school, along with others in the area, take part in the Thomas Hepburn Half Marathon Challenge. This year Miss Georgeson and Mrs Huggins took Beech Class to Gateshead Stadium to compete.

The class split into two groups of 12. then two children form each group had to run one lap of the track. When they got back, two different children would run until each group had done 50 laps between them! This is equivilent to 13 miles (a half marathon).

We were all really tired by the end, but we all got together for one last victory lap!

Mrs Walton from EMTAS (Ethnic Minority and Traveller Achievement Services) comes to Brandling every week to work with our children. This week she came to teach the whole class more about Traveller history.

She showed us lots of artifacts that were very old.

Mrs Walton asked us to design a poster for a contest she was running.

We had lots of fun and learned a lot about the Traveller way of life.
