Windy Nook Primary School

On Wednesday 10th March a group of Year 5 children went down to Thomas Hepburn School to compete in an Indoor Sportshall Athletics Event.  Each child took part in one track, one field and one relay event. Several of the children came 1st and 2nd.  Out of nine teams Windy Nook came first and won the trophy.  Well done to all the children who took part.

Some of the children will now compete in the Thomas Hepburn team against other teams in Gateshead.  So watch this space!!!

On Friday 5th March the Hockey team went to a Hockey Tournament at Gateshead Stadium. They played three games and everyone played well.  The team enjoyed their afternoon at Gateshead Stadium and fun was had by all.

We love using the dressing up clothes, especially the Santa outfit. 

Everyday we get to choose what we would like to do. Look at some of the brilliant things we have been making!

We also enjoy playing in the different areas. Come and see what we have been doing!

We also love to play in our Nursery garden.

Once again our Supersonic Soil Shifters have been hard at it!

Having harvested, cleaned and sold what was left of our organic veg (the constant rain ruined much of it) we made a start clearing the weeds, trimming the willow and composting the waste.

The money we earned by selling the veg which wasn't ruined by rain, was just enough money to pay for the bedding plant seeds we plan to grow and sell in the New Year.

So start saving up!

Didn't look great did it?

But thanks to a £4000 grant from the Council, we are nearly ready to start planting up our rejuvenated pond.

As you can see we are having a fantastic dipping platform built and when the boards are down we'll be able to get cracking with the pond plants, the bog garden and the wild flowering banks.

We can't wait!

The floodgates are open!

Today sixty children from Y5 / 6 have made use of our new gate, giving us access to the wealth of learning opportunities on the Windy Nook Nature Park.
