Class 4 Girls Do St Philip's Proud at the 5-A-Side Football
To help our brothers and sisters in Haiti, after their country had been devastated by the recent earthquake, we decided to hold a Fairtrade coffee morning on Friday after our community collective worship. While our parents were in school having coffee and cakes we cleaned their cars - for a small charge! The teachers even let us clean their cars! We managed to raise a whooping £330 - which was doubled through the involvement of one of our parents. Thank you so much to everyone who supported us.
Please see our photo gallery to catch us in action!

Hello everyone,
We are the Peer Mediators. Our job is to make sure that everyone at St. Philips stays good friends. We have received special training from Gateshead Council so that we can help you and your friends solve any disagreements that you may have. If you have fallen out with one of your friends, let us know and we will work with you as a group to make sure that the problem is solved. You can let us know that you need our help by: standing at the peer mediation stop, by letting a buddy know or by putting a little note in the worry box which we check every play time.
Hello everyone,
We are the School Buddies. Our job is to make sure that everyone in the school yard is happy and has someone to play with. It is also our job to spot people who have fallen out and help them find a peer mediator to help them sort out their problems. You can spot us by the buddy caps that we wear at playtimes or you can stand at the buddy stop and one of us will come and help you.
The children from Year 5 were invited to Kelvin Grove Primary school as part of our Schools linking project. We spent the morning looking at the local area around the school including Saltwell Park. We took photos of things in the park that we liked and on the after noon we went back to Kelvin Grove School and with our link partner sketched the photos. We really enjoyed visiting Kelvin Grove and they will be coming to visit us in June!
The children from Year 5 have been working with the Year 5 children from Kelvin Grove, to get to know children from another school who come from different backgrounds and cultures to ourselves. The first meeting was at Shipley art gallery where we worked with our partner from Kelvin Grove to make identity flags and to draw each others portraits. We also played games to get to know each other better. Our next linking day is at Kelvin Grove on the 5th of May and they are coming to visit us in June!
