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!

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.

We were all given a maths worksheet to complete. The worksheet had questions that we could only answer by walking around the shops and finding the answers.
We had to work out the area of the glass around this lift outside Waterstones.
We had to count how many fish were in this mural outside Debenhams. We also had to see how many words we could make using the letters in DEBENHAMS. Jonathon found a seven letter word: Bensham.
We also met a Maths Wizard who showed us some magic maths tricks!
Then we were asked to work out the total cost of the stamps on these letters. They were stuck to the floor in the Village.
We had a really fun day and solved lots of mathematical challenges!
She chose to go to the shops in Newcastle with Mrs Huggins. She bought toys, stationery and clothes and had a fantastic time. She couldn't wait to get back to school and show everyone her prizes!

Scientists from Proctor & Gamble also came to show us how science can be lots of fun. They showed us how to make silly putty using glue, water and a special secret ingredient! It was really messy!
We also met some Dentists from the Dental Hospital at Newcastle University. They taught us about dental hygiene and they let us make our own cast of a tooth using plaster of paris.
Finally we met some mechanics from the Automotive Centre of Excellence at Gateshead College. They brought in two bikes to show us. They explained how some bikes can be environmentally friendly. We loved this bike!
We also went to the farm at Bede's World. This is the Farmers' House where he would have lived with all his family.
The Anglo-Saxons did not have Televisions or Radios like we have. At night time they would sit around a roaring fire and tell stories.
They kept lots of animals on the farm for their meat, eggs and skin. We saw Bulls, Sheep, Wild Boars, Geese and Chickens.
Two of the children in our class dressed up like a Farmer and his Wife. They called themselves Oswald and Ethelber! Do their clothes look like the ones we wear?
We had a wonderful day and learned lots about the Anglo-Saxons.

The Juniors' Pantomime was 'Cinders', based on the traditional story of Cinderella. As you can see from the photographs below they had a fantastic time dressing up as the characters. There were Ballguests, Ugly Sisters, Victorian children and even dancing mice!

Every child in school had a balloon with their name on it. We invited Sharon Hodgson MP and Moira Quigley to help us release the balloons. We also invited our teddy bears, to support Children in Need Day.
We released the balloons to spread the word about our fantastic achievements, and we hope that people who find the balloons will let us know how far they have got by writing to our Outstanding school!
What a fantastic day!
