Several visits to Laing Art Gallery have been organised throughout this year. Year 1/2, 3/4 and 5 have all been on visits to Laing Art Gallery to develop their artistic skills.
Year 1/2 and 3/4 have been to see an exhibition called Work, Rest and Play at the gallery. The exhibition has a series of artworks by famous artists on the theme of Work, Rest and Play. This visit involved the children looking at and analysing the works of art, hearing stories from a storyteller, developing collage techniques and making props and using them in drama performances.

Year 2 Multi Skills Event
The whole of Year 2 travelled up to Heworth Comprehensive School to attend a multi skills sporting festival. The festival comprised of the children using their running, jumping, catching, kicking, throwing and balancing skills. All the children were very excited as it was the first time they had all represented the school in a competitive event. The Wardley children were split into four teams and competed with eight other teams from Whitemere, Bill Quay and Lingey House. Out of the twelve teams, we finished 2nd, 4th, 8th and 12th. The children throughly enjoyed the event and their behaviour was a credit to the school. With the event being such a success, it will hopefully become a permament addition to the sporting calender.

Year 5/6 Football
Late Goals Give Wardley Victory!
Wardley 3 - 1 Brandling
Jakk Smith x 2
Callum Burns
Man of the Match: Lewis Allsop
It took two very late goals to give Wardley their second win of the season. In an open game, both teams had many goalscoring opportunities. Jakk Smith gave Wardley the lead in the first half, rebounding in Robert Purdy’s excellent shot. Brandling battled back, creating numerous chances. Only some brave goalkeeping from Lewis Allsop kept Wardley ahead.
With only a few minutes left, Brandling eventually equalised. The Wardley team showed their strength of character and responded almost instantly. After a great crossfield pass from John James, Callum Burns controlled the ball and drove it into the top corner. This was a goal worthy of winning any match.
In the dying seconds, Brandling forced a corner in a desperate attempt for an equaliser. The Wardley defence held firm and managed to release Jakk Smith. The striker dribbled the ball from within his own half, coolly rounded the goalkeeper, and slotted home the third goal.
Mr Scott and Mr Evans were extremely pleased with the win and hope that the good form will be carried forward into the next match.

Year 6 Cricket
Move over Flintoff,
Wardley Winners are in town!
The Wardley Year 6 Kwik Cricket team has been extremely successful in the ASDA Kwik Cricket Festivals. The exciting journey began at Felling Cricket Club. Wardley took an ‘A’ and a ‘B’ team, with both playing to a high standard. Both teams won their group matches convincingly, which led them to meet each other in the final, with the winner taking their place in the ASDA Kwik Cricket Gateshead Schools Final against Glynwood Primary School. It was a closely contested game, with both teams giving their all, but in the end the Wardley ‘A’ team came out on top. Mr Evans, the school cricket coach, could not hide his delight. He said “It was fantastic to see both our Kwik Cricket teams in the final. It was well deserved because of the brilliant performances on the day and for all the children’s hard work and practise throughout the year.� The exceptional performance on the day came from Cory Gray who took a five wicket maiden.
