Our school football team made a fantastic start to the season with two impressive performances in the first round of the Holman cup. The team travelled to Roman Road Primary for the first group games and performed admirably despite only attending trials the previous week. Aaron Cook struck late in the second half of the first game with a cool finish to give us a deserved victory over Roman Road Primary. The second game, in which captain Curtis Mole dominated the midfield, was decided by a clinical finish from Luke Wright. There were many impressive debuts to start the season, with Thomas Cleminson commanding the defence and Johnathan Hay providing some excellent wing play. The boys are now through to the semi-final of the cup, and are hoping to better last year's result of coming second! Well done to everyone for such a fantastic start to the season.

On Thursday 19th May, the football team provided another excellent display of teamwork, individual skill and a superb passing game to overcome two schools in the local Tyne View division of the Gateshead league. Harlow Green proved strong opponents in the first game, but the Wardley boys overcame some resolute defending to record a super 4-1 victory. The second game, in which the boys showed some fantastic individual skill, ended with a 4-2 win over Dunston Riverside. Reece Dunlop and Curtis Mole, although not getting on the scoresheet, both showed why Wardley have conceded so few goals this season with defensive displays that John Terry and Rio Ferdinand would have been proud of! Well done to all the boys, who are now in with a good chance of adding the league trophy to the cabinet this season (alongside the 5-a-side competition they have already won!). A big thanks to coaches Mr Connor and Mr Burfield who have been masterful tacticians all season long.

The engineering club has started again this half term and is in the midst of building a wooden go-kart.

The new members of the club have been involved in using various tools to assemble the flat-pack kit. So far we have sorted and checked the materials, measured the length of screws and bolts and used a screwdriver, hammer and torque wrench to build the frame.

Once this go-kart is assembled we will be testing to check it doesn't fall apart and then creating some designs to paint on the frame.

We will keep you informed of our progress and show you what the final product looks like.

On Tuesday 8th March, the Wardley football team took part in the Newcastle United foundation football tournament held at Complete Football in Gosforth. In total 23 teams from around the North-East took part. It was a group stage, then finals format, with the winners and two best runners-up going through. Despite finishing second in our group, and scoring an amazing 23 goals in 3 games, the boys narrowly missed out on a place in the quarter finals on goal difference. Everyone played fantastically well, with Brad Lowery scoring 9 goals in one match, a triple hat-trick!! It was a great day and a fantastic experience for the team. As Rhys Prudhoe said, "it was a beautiful day for the beautiful game!" We now look forward to the finals of the 5-a-side Gateshead tournament on 23rd March at the leisure centre and the return of the schools 7-a-side league the following day....a busy period for the football team!

Members of Wardley Writers Club have been involved in writing descriptions of our favourite pizza. Mr Malik, the club organiser, decided that he would judge the entries and the one which gave the most effective description would be purchased and eaten in our last session before half term.

The winning entry was by Jack Tweddell whose description can be read below.

It was a very difficult decision because of the high quality of the writing, all of which can be read by clicking on the links. Our advice is to read these on a full stomach so not to be tempted to dial the take away!

Wardley Primary School Council have recently become part of the Gateshead Junior Community Network and, along with several other Gateshead schools, attended the conference at The Swallow Hotel last week.

The schools were asked to deliver a three minute presentation on something that they were proud to have achieved this year. We delivered ours based on our Charity work and in particular, the School Council wanted to focus on the success of Comic Relief Day 2009.

The children really enjoyed delivering the presentation- they showed a powerpoint, sang, danced and even wore their pyjamas and the best part- they even got to use a microphone!

Wardley School Council were very proud to come 2nd place for our presentation and were even more pleased with their prize- a big bag of sweets to share!

Recently the School Council have joined the Gateshead Junior Community Network. This involves Wardley Primary working in partnership with several other Gateshead schools to promote Community Cohesion.

The School Council were very lucky to have Julie and Annie come into school to help them to learn about what community cohesion is and what it means in terms of the local area in Wardley and in Gateshead. They did some discussion work based around belonging to various groups both inside and outside of school and the advantages and disadvantages of being in a group. The council then plotted on a map of the local area where they belong in their different groups and they were surprised to see how vast an area the different groups they belong to covered!

The School Council really enjoyed the session and learned a lot about their local community. They were delighted to receive free Gateshead Community Network mugs, chocolate and pens as a reward for their hard work at the end!

Every Thursday children from Key Stage 1 and 2 have been meeting to make fantastic Easter themed crafts to take home.

From colouring to sewing, each of the crafts has been very popular and often quite challenging! The children had the option to take their items home each week or save them until Easter. Lots of the children are planning to use their items as gifts for their families as an alternative to chocolate eggs.

We have looked at all aspects of the Spring season not just Easter and have included pictures of tulips, daffodils, lambs and chicks. Mrs Nelson was extremely impressed to see the children help each other if they found something difficult. The last project will be to make an Easter basket which Mrs Nelson has promised to fill with goodies for everyone who makes it to the end of the 6 week club.

The club will be displaying their crafts in the Key Stage 2 hall for anyone who would like to see. Thank you to Mrs Howe who very kindly donated some lovely Easter card kits!

Thank you to everyone who came to school in their own clothes instead of their uniform and donated money to the Congo appeal. Altogether the school raised a fantastic £250.00 and this has been sent to the appeal to help families who are a lot worse off than we are!

The School Council would like to say Merry Christmas and hope you have a Happy New Year too. Thank you again for your kindness.
