On November 9th, Year 5 children were treated to an energetic and entertaining performance from Guy Bass, award-winning author of the Spynosaur, Stitch Head and Dinkin Dings series.
Guy explained that his books reflect the way he pictured the world as he was growing up and confessed that he created the Spynosaur series to indulge his childhood ambition to be a dinosaur!
Guy drew upon his background in the theatre to debunk some of the white lies we tell our children – carrots help you see in the dark; spiders are more afraid of you than you are of them; the ice cream van plays its jingle when it has run out of ice cream – and reduced the audience to helpless laughter with his portrayal of an aggressive spider!
Aided by a member of the audience dressed as Spynosaur, he rounded off his performance with a lively reading from his latest novel, Goldenclaw and took time to have a proper conversation with every child that had bought one of his books.
We all enjoyed this event enormously and the clips will give you a flavour.
Pupils in choir need to meet on Thursday 16th November in the Morpeth Market Square to meet Ms Jones, Mrs Wilson and Mrs Woolley at 4.15pm. They must be accompanied by an adult who will stay to watch the 30 minute performance before collecting your child when they come off stage. 
On the Friday morning of Children in Need all pupils, in form classes, will decorate their class cake to their design. The cakes will then be taken to the Chantry Hall where we would have tables up in a large square and they would be displayed as one large cake. Pupils could come and admire after that and then we give cakes back to form teachers to cut and give a slice to pupil in the afternoon.
