On Wednesday 9th October, Year 6 went to Beamish Museum to take part in an evacuee workshop. This helped bring their topic ‘A Child’s War’ to life as they witnessed first hand what it was like to be a child living in World War Two. All of year 6 behaved beautifully and did the school proud. Well done year 6 and keep up the hard work!

Year 4 love to read so much they went to South Stanley library to choose their very own books to have in school. All children were exceptionally behaved and did the school proud. Keep up the fantastic reading year 4!

Massive thanks to all the parents of our budding gardeners who came to help us plant some beautiful flowers in our new playground seating area. Thank you again to all the parents for your help with fundraising last year -you have made this possible! See the gallery for more amazing photos!

As the sun shone on Friday, Alan Toward kept our children active with some engaging sporting activities which have inspired our children to be more active! What a way to end the week.

The house captain elections took place recently at school. The children were split into their various house colours so that they could listen to the speeches of the potential house captains. After this, the children voted for their favourites. Here are our very proud House Captains and Vice House Captains for 2019 to 2020. Well done everyone!

Children loved exploring Roald Dahl poetry and performing to their class members as well as a themed school dinner. Check the school Facebook site for photos of the magical day.

South Stanley Junior School took part in our first football fixture this term against 3 other local schools. Our boys lost one match and drew the other two. Well done to all who played and let’s hope we have another successful season!
