For the 3rd year in a row, Tweedmouth Prior Park First School has won the Northumberland School's Challenge Cup. This awarded to the school who records the highest percentage of children cycling to school during National Bike Week. What an achievement!

"Getting Ready for Rio" was the theme for our sports week. During the week we held an Olympic Sports Day and our 4 school teams, competed as 4 countries, Team GB, Team India, Team USA and Team Brazil. The opening ceremony included a parade of the athletes carrying torches.

What a lot of concentration it takes to throw the javelin!

Brake's Giant Walk

Thousands of children across the UK set off from their school gates in June 2015, celebrating the wonders of walking by taking part in Brake's Giant Walk.
This annual event is a fantastic way for children to put their best feet forwards for road safety: to say "yes!" to the health and planet-saving benefits of walking, and "no!" to fast driving that threatens children's safety. The UK has a poor record for protecting children on foot and bike compared to many European neighbours. Half our children are driven to school, increasing pollution, danger and damaging health.

"Bling your Bike" competition had an Olympic theme this year

A winner from each class was chosen by Liam Carr, who rides for Berwick Bandits. What a difficult job he had!

Sophie and Jess dance the Highland Fling

Scottish Highland dancing is one of the oldest forms of folk dance and both modern ballet and square dancing can trace their roots back to the Highlands.
The Highland Fling is the oldest of the traditional dances of Scotland and one theory is that it was a dance of triumph at the end of a battle.

The Sword Dance

One story describes the Sword Dance as a dance of victory as the King danced over his own sword crossed over the sword of his enemy. Another story is that it was danced before a battle.To kick the swords was a bad omen for the battle and the soldier would expect to be wounded!
