Year 5's trip to St James Park for StemFest

Year 5 visited St James' Park to take part in The North East STEM Hub event around the theme of ‘Net Zero’ in partnership with Newcastle United Foundation. The fun, interactive and hands on event showcased businesses from across the region, their response to Climate Change and their plans to reach Net Zero by 2030. Over 3000
young people from the regions schools were there and our children had a fantastic time!
