We had a fantastic time at our Sport's afternoon. It was held on the site of proposed new school and we had a great time! Thank you to the staff and parents for making it a great afternoon!

Twelve Year 5 and 6 pupils travelled to the Riverside to compete in track events to represent Derwentside in July.

The children participated in 60m, 80m, 60m hurdles, 800 m and a 4x100m relay.

Jason Maddison, Sam Laycock, Grace Palmer and James Hutchinson all won their heats by coming first in their races meaning they qualified for the finals this afternoon. Jason and Sam went on to come 1st and 2nd and both have qualified to represent Derwentside in July.

Both the boys (Connor/Jordan Boyle, Conor Profit, Jason MAddison) and girls (Sam Laycock, Grace Palmer, Nicole Peel, Demi Smith) relay won their heat and the boys came 2nd in the finals so they too will represent Derwentside in July. All children were well behaved and were a credit to the school.

Keep your fingers crossed we can do the same in July!!! greenland priamry greenlandprimarygreenlandprimary greenlandprimary greenlandprimary greenlandprimary greenlandprimary greenlandprimary greenlandprimary greenlandprimary

The Year 6 children held their own election in school today!

Everyone else in school had the day off due to polling day but our intrepid Year 6 came in to school for extra study sessions!

Star studded Year 6!

We were so pleased to meet Anton Ferdinand from Sunderland FC!

Although Mr. Stewart is a Newcastle United fan he was delighted that he could visit our school.

Anton Ferdinand was so pleasant and fastdious and everyone enjoyed his visit. He was so polite that he set a good example to everbody in school.

His football skills were blistering as he demonstrated in the school yard!

We had so much snow that a tractor had to come and clear the school yard!

There is black ice on the yard and on the roads around school please take care.

Come straight into school don't stay on the yard.

Take care travelling to school - remember to wear sensible footwear and warm clothes.

The teachers have shovelled lots of the snow from Rydal Avenue so hopefully everyone will be able to get to school on Monday!! Fingers crossed!!

Have a look around to find something of interest to you!

Sorry - heavy snowforecast for this afternoon.

Check back again for update about tomorrow please!

School is closed due to heavy snow fall.

Re-opening will be assessed tomorrow.

Year 4 children spent a wonderful weekend at Westgate School Camp where they had so much fun learning about the countryside and staying healthy!

As you are probably aware all primary children in County Durham are entitled to free school meals and we are pleased to say that most children in the school are taking advantage of this scheme. If your child is currently still on packed lunch and wishes to have a school dinner then contact the school and speak to Mrs Coldrick at the office.

Mrs. Wilson is retiring after 38 years at Greenland School and everyone will miss her!

We wish her a happy and healthy retirement and we hope she come back to see us often!

Good luck Mrs. Wilson in all you do!
