Love - Respect - Wisdom - Responsibility - Courage - Resilience

Road Safety Training Our Year 3 and Year 4 children will be taking part in Road Safety Training over the next three Mondays, The children will be taken out to learn about Road Safety in the Local Area and will be supervised at all times. Please return the consent form as soon as possible. If you have any questions please contact Mr Philips.

Year 5 & 6 Residential Trip Letters have gone out this week to find out the level of interest from parents of children in Mr Fenwick’s class about the residential trip in May. Please inform us if your child is interested in going as without sufficient numbers the trip will be unable to go ahead.

Christmas Jumper Day We will be having our School Christmas Lunch on Tuesday 10th December, if children would like to wear a Christmas jumper for the day then that would be lovely but they do not have to.

George Stephenson workshop As part of their topic work, Oak class, enjoyed a very interesting talk from a lady who works at the Stephenson Railway Museum. The children found out lots and really enjoyed the day!

Phonics Workshops A huge thank you to all of those parents who attended the phonics workshops that were held in school this week. The turnout was fantastic and again we are extremely grateful for your support.

Illness in schools As you will no doubt be aware many schools have had to close due to outbreaks of illness. We constantly remind children of the need to wash their hands in school and appreciate your support in reinforcing this at home. Thank you. Facebook We still only have a handful of parents and carers who follow us on Facebook. Please like our page ’St Wilfrid’s RC Primary— Gateshead’ to be kept up to date with events at school.

Jack and the Beanstalk Our very own Mr Fenwick is treading the boards this festive season, starring as the Giant in Jack and the Beanstalk (Oh yes he is!). Please see the flyer on the next page if you would like to support him!
