Today at Gillas Lane, we held the first of our half-termly OPAL assemblies of the year. We, and our children, understand the importance of rich, high-quality play. #TeamGillas #GoodToBeGillas

Our first Family OPAL Afternoon was a success! Thank you to all of the friends and families who were able to join in the OPAL fun!

We have finally received the Active Sunderland GOLD award in the post today! We are so proud of all the Gillas Lane children who have helped us achieve this. Huge congrats to our PE Leads, Miss Carpenter & Mr Douglass.🌟💙

Legendary 6 with Mr Forster have been working hard on some gorgeous rewriting of the prologue from Ross MacKenzie’s Nowhere Emporium. We’d love a reply Ross if you’re not too busy writing awesome texts! ✍️ #TeamGillas

A huge thank you to our friends at Ogden Trust who have kindly donated all of this fantastic physics equipment which will PHYSICally improve our science teaching and learning at Gilllas Lane. 💡⚡️🔌🔋

Once we’d sent the children home, we were lucky enough to have Tori and Hannah from OASES deliver a gardening training session! As always, we love working with the guys from OASES- they’re so knowledgable! Thank you!💙 #TeamGillas #SchoolGarden #GoodToBeGillas

Spring has definitely arrived in Houghton! The children of Gillas Lane are thoroughly enjoying their fun in the sun! #TeamGillas #HOPToIt #GoodToBeGillas

There has been some outstanding den building at Gillas Lane today! Well done, gang! #HOPToIt

Today, we’ve had Tori visit us from OASES to run a family planting session. We’ve planted lots of fruits, vegetables and flowers! We can’t wait to welcome her back to Gillas Lane in the summer for a family harvesting session! #GoodToBeGillas #TeamGillas #HOPToIt

This week, in Y4/5, we have been reading At My Table, by Nigella Lawson. To conclude the week, we’ve made her red-hot salsa! We all feel so inspired by the way Nigella writes and, of course, cooks! #TeamGillas #GoodToBeGillas
