A musical Halloween
More children than ever are learning to play musical instruments this year. Several children have chosen guitar whilst whole classes are learning to play the violin or cornet. All this coinciding with our Halloween celebrations made for some interesting photographs of Carr Hill by day and by night.

Once again Carr Hill joined neighbouring schools at the Gateshead Dance Festival. Familiar faces danced as part of the KS2 group. Look at our old dance podcast to see those faces in the same competition in KS1.

Junior Games 2008.
Last week, children from years 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 attended heats for the Junior Games 2008. Once again the Carr Hill kids showed what they're made of as they braved the pouring rain. Friends and family cheered them on as they raced on the Northern Fields of Saltwell Park.
Chloe Batey and Cameron Hope ran particularly well. They were asked to represent their team in the NewcastleGateshead Junior Games Challenge at Gateshead Stadium.

Whithaugh Park.
Whithaugh Park has become an important part of our school year. Many of our children have visited the activity centre more than once now. The first visit in year 3 is always the most exciting as it is often the first night away from family for many of the children.

Circuits in years 3 and 4
During the final term, the year 3/4 phase group were set a challenge. Having studied electrical circuits, we challenged them all to design a torch with a difference. Look at these fabulous designs, hat, handbag and belt torches.

Year 3 and 4 visit Hadrian's Wall.
As part of our Roman studies we decided to visit Hadrian's Wall. The children visited a museum to gain some background knowledge and generally 'play soldiers' as we tried on costumes.
In the afternoon we enjoyed a tour of the ruins whilst we listened to an Archeologist.
