On Wednesday 11th June 2008, Gateshead Leisure Centre held their annual line dancing festival. After weeks of practising, Miss Gardner and Miss Allan took a team of 12 excited children along to show off their line dancing skills.
Two members of the local firefighters and their fire engine visited Year 1 and 2 for their annual fire safety talk. The children watched a video about the importance of not playing with matches. The children then had the opportunity to try on a firefighter's uniform and the see what different equipment a fire engine has on board. Some extremely lucky children had the opportunity to ride in the fire engine. The safety session ended with the children having a turn on the hose.
On Thursday 12th June 2008, Y5/6 spent the day in the Ingram Valley, Alnwick, investigating the River Breamish / Till (the only river in the North East of England with two names!).
