9 photos of South Tyneside youngsters starting a new year in reception class - but is your loved one pictured?
Picture the scene. It’s a new school year and your loved one is excitedly heading in to the reception class.
There’s the prospect of learning new things and meeting fantastic friends – as well as a few emotional tears for the parents as they look on with pride.
We have 9 great photos of children posing for photos in reception classes across South Tyneside from St Oswald’s to St Bede’s and Hedworth Lane to Simonside.
So take a look and see if you can spot someone you know.
