Member of Parliament visits Marsden

By C Marshall31st January 2017

On Friday, we had a very special visitor in our school….Emma Lewell-Buck.

The Year 6 children had written letters to her as part of their debate on where new houses should be build in our area. In her role as Labour party MP for South Shields she came to talk to us about what she thought and also to give us an insight into what life is like in the Houses of Parliament.

We asked some very challenging questions and enjoyed hearing her responses.

Here are a few pictures of the day and also a couple of questions and answers.

Question to Emma from Grace

Answer to Callum’s Question – a new law for England

Y4 at the Cinema

By L Watson27th January 2017

Year Four thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the cinema to see ‘Swallows and Amazons’! The film was great and we were thrilled with our surprise snacks! All children were impeccably behaved and a credit to Marsden!

 

Science Club

By S Hewitson27th January 2017

At science club this week Year 3 and 4 have been learning about acids and alkalines. The children had to test different liquids to see if they changed colour. If the liquid changed to red it was an acid, if it went green it was neutral and if it went purple it was an alkaline.

We had a great time playing investigating liquids and are looking forward to next week!

Stunning Performance by KS2!

By D O'Brien9th December 2016

The children of Key Stage 2 showed their true talents on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings when they put on an amazing production entitled ‘Sleeping Beauty … the Ugly Truth’! The hall was packed on both occasions and the audience participation was fantastic.

The Year 6 pupils took on the lead roles and have written a news report about the event as part of their English work.

Gift for Granny

By C Marshall9th December 2016

Today saw the last collecting day for our GIFT FOR GRANNY appeal.

This was a new venture this year and one which I have been over whelmed by. As a community, our parents always support the school and every charity we ask, however despite this being a time of the years when so many other things are happening, we have had an outstanding reponse to this charity.

Tonight the gifts have been collected and I can only imagine how many lives the presents will brighten during this festive season.

Thanks you so much.
