Our greedy readers have been devouring books again! These children have continued to amaze their teachers by reading over 18 times at home this half term. Some have read over 30 times! All these winners have chosen a prize: a fabulous book to keep as a reward for reading so much at home. Amazing!

Our Pupil Parliament visited the Civic Centre on Thursday. We found out what happens inside the council chambers and heard all about the processes of local government. We also met the new Lord Mayor of Newcastle, Councillor Henry Gallagher. We looked around the Silver Gallery where we found out facts about precious objects that have been given to the city of Newcastle. Mehmed and Maryam even got to dress up as the Lord Mayor and Sheriff! We had a fantastic time, and even enjoyed an ice cream before heading back to school!
