Zip The Tyne
On Saturday 14th March Mrs Lewis, Mary, Mrs Bell and her daughter Jess all took part in a fundraiser for the stroke association. It was a hair raising, tummy flipping venture as they zip wired over the Tyne. Between Wark and Greenhaugh schools we raised £1500 for charity.
Hexham Abbey Pilgrimage
We had a really enjoyable day at Hexham Abbey on Tuesday 17th March. We took part in workshops, creating, making and learning about the Easter story. Our day was brought to a close as we joined many other schools in the Abbey for a fantastic Easter Service. All the craftwork from the day was used to tell the Easter story and the Easter hymns we had learnt filled the Abbey with a wonderful sound. It was lovely to see so many parents at the service.

We took part in the Tynedale music festival at the Queen's Hall on Friday 20th March. We entered the Hymn singing and the Choral classes and thoroughly enjoyed taking part. We were over the moon when we won the choral class as the standard was very high. We returned with a very impressive trophy!
