Some of our children were selected to work with STCEP  (South Tyneside Creative Enquiry Project) this term. The STCEP is a national programme which supports young people to fulfil their creative potential and have access to high-quality cultural experiences. The children will work to produce art to improve the physical environment of the school and creating a positive identity for those within it. The children visited St Mary’s Island with a local artist to collect shells and other sea treasures together which will help us to decorate our lighthouse sculpture. Everyone had a wonderful time!

We know at St James’ we have a wonderful community of parents, carers and families who always pull together to help those most in need and we certainly did that!

We raised a whopping £415.00 for CAFOD’s aid in Turkey and Syria. Thank you to each and every one of you who bought a cake, made a donation or said a prayer.

This money will go towards aid for those most in need!

We have a gymnastics superstar here at St James’! Daniel attended the King Edmund Acro Cup gymnastics competition in Bristol and we are thrilled to announce that he and his partner won a GOLD MEDAL!! We are so very proud of you Daniel; WELL DONE!

On Tuesday 24th January, we will celebrate Chinese New Year in school. As red is considered a colour of good luck and joy, the children are invited to come in non-uniform wearing something
red. There will be no charge for this. Our cook, Sara, will also provide a Chinese selection of food at lunchtime, including Vegetable Chow Mein, Chinese Chicken Curry and ice-cream with a Chinese Cookie. If your child does not want the option of Chinese food on this day, please provide them with a Packed Lunch.

Please find the menu below.

Sara our cook and our kitchen staff will be preparing a rip-roaring American themed menu composed by Chadwick’s Kitchen on Thursday 19th January.

Please see the menu below.

We value your feedback and would appreciate you completing the following questionnaire link by Friday 20th January.
