Give Porty a wave

MARYPORT’S Wave Centre bear mascot now has a name, thanks to Seaton girl Jessica Johnstone.

Jessica, seven, of Whitestiles, won a competition to give the pirate bear a name.

She called him Porty, she said, because he was going to live in Maryport.

She was unable to accept the first prize to visit children’s comedian Jamie Campbell at The Wave on Saturday because she was celebrating her seventh birthday with a roller disco.

Instead, Jessica and her friends will attend a Christmas party at The Wave next month.

Is Ofsted right to crack down on boring teaching?

Yes, young minds need to be stimulated to encourage a love of learning.

No, I had to put up with lessons that make you go to sleep - so kids these days should too.

Haven't they got more important things to do?
