Thought we'd share this fantastic work from Year 4 pupils at Barley Mow. Using Jam Trax and when asked to think creatively within the theme of Dinosaurs, they came up with these impressive sound loops....

Here are just 3 to listen to and enjoy!

Check out Day One of the Shuttle Crew's visit to Gateshead Stadium

Another amazing day with the NASA Shuttle Crew STS-119 at Gateshead Stadium.

Our mini Poetry Festival ended yesterday with storming performances from Paul Cookson and Nick Toczek. Earlier in the week, Nick, Craig Bradley and Gez Walsh set the tone with dynamic sessions and expert workshops, leading the children attending to create their very own space and alien themed poems.

It's been a cracking week and one that we're very likely to repeat in the Summer Term.
We'll be adding podcasts and vodcasts from the Festival over the next week or so. And...we'll be busy creating a 3D Space themed game featuring the children's work and their video footage. More on that later.

Meantime....enjoy this!
