Next Wednesday year 3 will be presenting an assembly on ‘Tricky Relationships’. We started practising last week and the children are coming up with some great ideas. We are very excited about showing everyone. Parents and carers are very welcome to come and see their child shine.

Hope to see you all there!

On Sunday 16th March 2008 five children from The Drive's running club took part in the Sport Relief Mile at Saltwell Park Gateshead. Despite it being a freezing cold day, all of the children had a great time and managed to raise money for Sport Relief. The exact amount raised is not yet known - Watch this space!!
They also met Jonathan Edwards, the Olympic silver medallist in the triple jump, as well as a very tall cricketer.

Mark your diaries! On the 2nd of April 2008 between 3.30-5.00 we will be hosting an EXTRAVAGANZA OF ENTERTAINMENT!
Any pupil who wishes to enter our "Drive's Got Talent Contest" can do so. There will be singers, dancers, comedians magicians, musicians: all prepared to face the judges and try to win first prize. We have an esteemed judging panel of year 6 pupils and two presenters to make the evening run smoothly.
The entry fee for the competition is as follows:
Solo artists - 50p
Groups of two or more - £1.00
Anyone wishing to come along and watch this amazing event is welcome. There will be a small charge of:
£1.00 per adult
50p per child
£2.00 for a Family ticket

The PTA will be providing refreshments for sale.

Please come along and support the children and the school, but be sure and book early as when we held "The Drive X-Factor" it was the most attended event ever held after school.
The evening is expected to finish at 5pm.

All monies raised will go into school funds to benefit all pupils.

The Y6 SATs are taking place in the week beginning May 12th 2008. All Y6 children are currently working very hard towards the SATs and are hoping to do their best when the time arrives.
Parents can help by ensuring that their children are completing all of their homework and spending some time reading their study books.
On the week of the SATs free breakfasts will be on offer to all Y6 children.

Well done to all of the Year 4 children who recently went to Heworth Grange to participate in the Multi-Skills event, where they did lots of fun sports such as Hockey, Football, Tennis, Netball and Cricket - we had a great success with our teams coming a MAGNIFICENT 1st and a very commendable 3rd place - well done to everyone - Mr Connor and Mrs Douglas are very proud of you all!
