On Friday, we received a very exciting visit to school from Cllr Sharon Hodgson, MP for Sunderland.

Several weeks ago, many of our children entered a competition to design her Christmas card which is sent out each year to many important people, including Prime Minister RIshi Sunak.

A panel of important judges work with Cllr Hodgson to select a winning design from the many schools who enter and we were delighted to find out that from all of these entries, Jack W in Reception won the Nursey/Reception category and Joshua H in Y2 won the Y1/2/3 category.

Both boys received a prize of Amazon vouchers and art resources. Joshua was also chosen as overall winner and has received a trip to London to meet Cllr Hodgson at the Houses of Parliament. What an incredible achievement! Well done to all who entered.
