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.

Year 2 get help from year 5.

We have been reading together since October. Our buddies come for a fun half hour
reading session where we read together talking about illustrations and the
content of our books. We read a book from the O.R.T and also a book from our
class library. We have shared our favourite books and authors explaining
what we liked about them. Sometimes we play games or find words on a giant
word search. The Year 5 children keep a record of the books we have read
together, they give us lots of encouragement and praise.

Year 5 at Whithaugh park.

Louisa Phillips describes the first day at Whithaugh park.....

We arrived at Whithaugh Park. We went straight to the rope park and Steven got me really muddy after five minutes. Mr. Harris and Mr. Fowler picked me up and dunked me in the mud.

For tea we had pasta bolognaise. After tea we went into the hall to watch Shrek. Whithaugh Park totally rocks............10/10.
