And here are nine photos of primary school children from Sunderland and East Durham enjoying fun events such as football, science and singing.
They’re from schools across city but can you spot someone you know? Perhaps you know a pupil at Castle View, Farringdon, Venerable Bede or Southmoor.
Have a look and see if you can spot a familiar face.
