There have been trips and visits aplenty, from cultural experiences abroad to local sites and places of interest. The Yearbook records these excur sions and the many successes in competitions, spor ting, academic and cocurricular activities. Also recorded are the many events organised by the PTA without their suppor t the School would be a poorer place .

I thank all the children and teacher s who have contributed to the Yearbook through writing ar ticles, providing ar twor k or submitting photographs. I also thank Mr s Tomlinson for her wor k in editing and over seeing the production of this the 2014 Yearbook.

A PLAYTIME POEM Erin Groom Year 1

Some whatifs climbed inside my ear, And danced and par tied all night long, And sang their same old whatif song. Whatif my hand was covered in blood?

I love playtime!

Whatif I bumped into Robin Hood?

I can see children playing in the sun,

Whatif there was a dog on a log?

I can hear ever yone shouting,

Whatif I saw a dancing frog?

I can smell my lunch cooking,

Whatif there was a great fire?

I can touch my soft robot toy,

Whatif I got poked in the eye?

I can taste my fr uity apple .

Whatif my yellow jelly went on the telly?

I love playtime!

Whatif I suddenly became ver y smelly? Ever ything seems well, and then,

FULL OF AUTUMN William Jeavons Year 2

This poem is full of Autumn, Each line holds something new. This poem is full of Autumn, Especially for you. It’s full of leaves falling slowly, It’s full of trees bending softly, It’s full of conker s cracking loudly, It’s full of hedgehogs sleeping quietly. This poem is full of Autumn,

the night time whatifs strike again!

ANDALUCÍA SPANISH CULTURAL EXPERIENCE BY ELEANOR WRIGHT AND KATE STOHRER LAST EASTER 26 PUPILS FROM YEARS 7-10 SET OFF ON A VERY LONG JOURNEY TO MÁLAGA IN THE SOUTH OF SPAIN FOR A FIVE DAY BREAK OF SUNSHINE, SAND AND SIGHTSEEING. WE WERE ALL VERY TIRED AT 5.30 AM IN THE MORNING BUT WERE RARING TO GO WITH EXCITEMENT.

We arrived at the Balmoral Hotel in Benalmadena after a ver y bumpy but fun flight and checked in. There was then time to quickly change into our summer gear as we headed to the beach; a one minute walk around the corner. After splashing around in the freezing cold sea, we enjoyed a game of rounder s before going back to the hotel for a yummy buffet. We didn’t however just fly to sunny Spain to eat delicious Spanish food but also to see the beautiful area around Malaga. One of the trips took us to Granada, which is about two hour s from Benalmadena. The Alhambra Palace there was absolutely spectacular, just like Málaga Cathedral which we visited one day later. Málaga is the bir thplace of the wor ld famous ar tist Pablo Picasso and in the local museum we could actually see some of his drawings! The weather in Spain was great (sunshine and 25°C , nothing like at home!) perfect for sunbathing and messing about in the water. On the beach we were also approached by these ver y keen salesmen who were

RED HOUSE SCHOOL YEARBOOK 2014

tr ying to sell their ‘top make’ belts and sunglasses to us! However, we preferred to stick to our game of rounder s! Evening enter tainment also included a flamenco show with brilliant dancing and lovely Spanish food (‘tapas” as these traditional snacks are known). We got back to our hotel really late and were pretty tired, so we were pleased we could have a (longer) lie in the next morning; which was just as well because we had to be fit for our highlight – the visit to Tivoli Wor ld, an amazing theme par k in Málaga.

At Tivoli World we were given wristbands that enabled us to unlimited goes on 37 spectacular rides. Some of the rides included the Tivoli dragon, the big wheel, the bumper cars, the mysterious boat and many more, but our favourite was the free fall tower! The free fall tower was an astonishing 60 metres high! It provided us with an amazing adrenaline r ush and we were also able to enjoy the wonderful views of the coast and Tivoli Wor ld – for a few seconds while we were up there! For lunch we had a quick snack of chicken and chips before setting off again to explore more of the par k. There was also live enter tainment! The ghost ride , the waltzer s, the mouse trap and log flume also proved great fun. After a great day we headed back on the coach to our hotel to enjoy our last night in sunny Spain. However, on the way back we stopped off to visit the beautiful traditional village of Mijas. Mijas is situated in-land up in the mountains but boasts magnificent views of the Mediterranean. This gave us an oppor tunity to do some last minute shopping and make friends with the “Burros” taxis; that is the donkey taxis which are typical of the area. From here we headed back to the hotel. In the morning we did our last minute packing and went down to our last buffet breakfast at 7.45 am. Then we were on the coach again heading for the airpor t.

Ever yone was sad that our holiday was coming to an end but we couldn’t wait to see our families again and to tell them about all the funny stories that happened along the way! Our plane left Malaga at 10.45 and we arrived in England a few hour s later. We got picked up at Sainsbur y’s car par k (we were all ver y tired!). We all had a great time but none of it would have been possible without the four teacher s that took us. Ms Smar t, Mr s Auty, Mr Kitching and Mr Haywood - Thanks for ever ything!

BEDE’S WORLD BY SOPHIE STEWART – YEAR 2

ON TUESDAY YEAR 2 WENT ON A SCHOOL TRIP TO BEDE’S WORLD IN JARROW FOR OUR R.E LESSON. When we finally arrived at Jarrow, we got off the bus and walked to Bede’s Wor ld where we had a drink and a biscuit. All of a sudden a man named George and a lady named Lauren appeared at the door. As soon as we stepped into the building ever yone , except me , stared at the wishing pool. I told Edie that it was not near ly as cool as Bede’s Wor ld, that it was just the doorway enter tainment.

The wor ld was at peace with the kingdom and the centre of it all was the King’s town, Wodnesfeld. The poor were happy and the rich were happy and they all lived in harmony.

Then with a flurr y of hooves behind her came King Ace and his lords. And off came the monster s head!The monster is dead. The monster is dead. The monster is dead.

A Fond Farewell To...

A FOND FAREWELL TO ... MR DAVE FRANK DAVE FRANK JOINED RED HOUSE SCHOOL IN 1977. HIS CREDENTIALS QUALIFIED HIM TO TEACH BOTH CHEMISTRY AND GAMES AND FOR MANY YEARS HE SUCCESSFULLY COACHED THE U13 RUGBY, SOCCER AND CRICKET TEAMS. In his later year s he relinquished his games duties to focus upon his chemistr y teaching in which he was extremely successful, helping to gain A* grades for many of the pupils he taught. Dave’s pupils were also ver y successful in chemistr y quizzes against other local and independent schools, reaching regional finals on several occasions and winning those finals twice to represent the Nor th East in the national final. He accompanied the ski trips on many visits to both Europe and the USA and the ‘bingo nights’ which he organised proved to be ver y popular. Dave was also actively involved in organising many of the staff social functions and the teams in which he belonged were occasional winner s of the PTA quiz. He was, for many year s, a Year 11 tutor and was largely responsible for producing the pupil profiles and collating the photographs that appeared in the pupil leaver s’ books. In his leisure time Dave is a keen golfer and cyclist and an ardent suppor ter of Middlesbrough Football club. These activities will keep him occupied in his retirement, which we all hope will be a long and happy one .

Life with Laura was never dull; if there was an adventure to be had Laura would be there . During her time at Red House she became a mum to Louis and married her husband Chris. Laura turned her hand to ever ything, usually with high levels of success, although it is doubtful if she will be appearing on the Great British Bake off anytime soon! With her infectious laugh and total commitment to the children in her care she will be greatly missed. We wish Laura ever y success in the future .

MS JANE ROBERTSON JANE JOINED RED HOUSE IN 2012 AND DURING HER TIME WITH US SHE BECAME A MOTHER TO OLIVIA AND CONTINUED TO DEVELOP HER IMPRESSIVE SKILLS IN WORKING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. She demonstrated a professional approach to all her wor k and brought a lot of smiles to the children faces. Jane could always be relied upon to get involved, be that dressing in more and more ridiculous costumes or simply finding that missing piece of planning that had eluded ever yone else! We wish Jane the ver y best for the future .
