Well done to all who took part.

Year 7 took part in the first Super Learning Day of the year, investigating what makes the coast special. The year group was split into three and enjoyed three different subjects; Science, Art and Media Studies.
The Science group visited the Blue Reef Aquarium in the morning and made sea creature Top Trumps in the afternoon. The art group made sand sculptures at Tynemouth Longsands, and the Media group created a marketing campaign for the North East coast.
Well done to everyone who took part for a great day.
