Year 2 have made super puppets in class and used these to perform their own puppet shows to their peers. They had great fun, and we have talented story tellers and puppeteers in the class!
What an amazing day Year 2 had at the North East Sandcastle Challenge at Sandhaven Beach. The children worked in two teams with architect professionals from ADP and they made two fantastic sculptures – ‘The Big Dipper’ and ‘The Death Star’ to coincide with this year’s theme of ‘Star Struck, Explore the Cosmos’.AND… we only went and won a prize! How fantastic it was for the children!
Thanks to the parents who came along to support us, without their water runs our sand building could not have happened.
Our Reception and Nursery children put on a brilliant assembly about ‘Tiddler: The Story Telling Fish.’
They all spoke clearly and sang beautifully. It was wonderful to see all their photgraphs as they are now looking so grown up!
On Thursday 5th July, the hard work of the Marsden Engineers came to fruition when they took part in the Greenpower Goblin IET kit car race on Newcastle Quayside.
The team had worked for over fifteen weeks constructing the chassis, designing and then creating cardboard templates for the final bodywork construction.
Test-driving the car was particularly exciting for the team, as was taking part with 40 other primary schools from around the region.
The Greenpower Educational Trust which initiated the programme also provided the school with an Ambassador- local engineer Mike Lambert, who guided the children and their teacher in making the car.
The whole programme, costing in the region of £2,000, has been sponsored by the Reece Foundation, the Rotary Club of Sunderland and Marsden School.
The children had a fantastic day! There are some budding Jenson Buttons and Lewis Hamilton’s in this group!Grateful thanks to Mr Payne, Mrs Danjoux and to parents and grandparents who supported the team fabulously. Go Marsden!

Massive congratulations to the the Year 5/6 girls football team who topped the South Tyneside league!
A massive achievement which was well deserved.
Well done girls and thank you to Mrs Carr, Mrs Potter and Mrs Davies for helping to organise and attend the matches.
Today was Mrs Carr’s last day before leaving to start her maternity leave.
I’m sure you’ll all join us in wishing her all the best and to enjoy the time preparing for her little bundle of joy!
This week Marsden showcased some of its fantastic Art and DT work produced by the children.
Each class was asked to produce two pieces of artwork, one 2-D and one 3-D, and we then used this work to create our very own art gallery.
Here is a selection of work from our art gallery:
I’m sure you will agree that we have some very talented children at Marsden Primary School!
