I've just been checking out the list for the final street name. I can't believe how hard everyone has worked and all the research that you have put into this. It's going to be really difficult to choose the last name because they are all so good. Well done to all of you.

I hope you are having a great time on your school holidays! We have looked very carefully through the names that you have sent us, in the last two weeks or so we have had over two hundred new suggestions for the final street name! So after careful consideration we have put forward the following names to be considered by the Council, they are: 1. Claxton Avenue/Street/Road 2. New Avenue 3. Writers Way 4. Adler Street 5. Angel Avenue/Street/Road 6. Goldrise Avenue What do you think of these names? Which one would you like to see chosen! I will see you all when you get back from your holidays!

There is still time to send in your ideas for names for the eighth and final street! In the last week we have had over 100 suggestions! We will hopefully go through all the ideas and suggestions from the last few weeks after Easter. If you have any ideas send them in and I will add them to the list! If you can't think of any further ideas then why not have a look at the ideas and suggestions that other children have put on the site and let us know which ideas you like best! Or if there are any ideas that your mam, dad, brothers, sisters, guardians, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, pets and neighbours would like us to consider then send them through to us as well! Have a great Easter... keep some Easter eggs for me!!!

If you remember there are eight streets to name, over the last few weeks we have discussed the names with many people here in the Council and we have had agreement for the following names: Street 1 - Fleetwood Way Street 2 - Bede Gardens Street 3 - Bishops Park Road Street 4 - Wilfrid Gardens Street 5 - Woodward Avenue Street 6 - Walcher Grove Street 7 - Churchill Road (Which was once Emily Street) Therefore we need to create one more street name, (the Street previously known as Hylton Street) get looking at the maps and on the internet and come up with more excellent ideas! I will be at Bede School on Tuesday morning and St Wilfrids on Friday afternoon to help come up with final names!!! Keep working hard you are doing some amazing work! So what do you think of the names chosen? Let us know what you think and help us come up with the final street name! See you soon Stephen http://www.e-strata.org/2008/03/street_names_1_to_7.html http://www.e-strata.org/2008/03/street_names_1_to_7.html News Schools Streets Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:37:03 +0000 Hi everyone. I've been reading all the street names you've posted on the site and think there are some really good suggestions. You've all put a lot of thought into this and it's really exciting to see what the final street names will be. Keep coming up with the great ideas.

Hi Guys You are coming up with some really great ideas - I find it very heplful when you add the reasons why you have picked your names too, as they will be around for a long, long time so it is a very important task you have. We do have to be careful though as to what the names might suggest - for example Tyne is a good local idea but Tyne View might make someone think they could see it from their house, but I dont think they can. It just so happens that its the Angel of the Norths 10th anniversary this year so Angel or North is a very clever idea Connor. I also think Churchill Road and Emily Courtyard are perfect - well done Katie Message Number Two! Hi Guys These are some really good thoughts - try and add reasons of why you have chosen them. Primary Hill is a good one Garry - as it leads on for your schools, I like the thought process there. Keep up the good work Posted by Stephanie from McInerney Homes | February 1, 2008 10:53 AM http://www.e-strata.org/2008/02/a_message_from_stephanie_at_mc.html http://www.e-strata.org/2008/02/a_message_from_stephanie_at_mc.html News Schools Street 1 Street 2 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 10:59:37 +0000
