Students at Seaton Sluice Middle School have had their hard work celebrated by the school at their ‘Press Celebration’, last week.
Students at Seaton Sluice Middle School have been writing articles, designing comic strips, researching topics of interest and putting together a monthly newspaper – the Seaton Sluice Chronicle, which is bought by the school community with all proceeds going back into school funds.
Students and their families were invited to join in the celebrations together with the staff for an evening of refreshments and awards. Head of School, Karen McSparron, welcomed everyone to school and the evening; she expressed how delighted she has been to see the depth of language, vocabulary and creativity that she has seen from all of those involved in the Chronicle. She thanked all staff who supported the students in their lessons and learning, which has led to such rich and entertaining articles; in particular thanks went to Mrs Henderson who has supported the students in this extra-curricular activity.
Students were awarded certificates for their articles and some for design and comic strips.
The last two awards were for Article of the Year and Journalist of the Year; these were awarded to Lucas Brookes and Theo Warren.
Chris Zarraga, Director of Schools North East said:
“Congratulations to all the pupils all involved in the Seaton Sluice Chronicle who have contributed to this community project. The school deserves credit for finding an interesting way to raise funds with the school whilst increasing their community outreach and giving students the opportunity to improve their writing skills and being celebrated for this as well.
