What a fabulous party we have all had – our Year 6 Leaver’s Prom.
The children all dressed up beautifully and had photos on the field before heading into the hall for ‘DISCO time’!
The children each had their favourite tea – McDonalds – followed by popcorn and candy-floss made by the teachers.
We were all treated to some fabulous dance moves!
Well done everyone; you all looked fabulous and a great-time enjoyed by all.
Wow Year 6, what can we say?
We all experienced an emotional collective worship today when we welcomed our whole school onto the school playground to celebrate the achievements of our wonderful Year 6’s throughout their primary school journey. They were all presented with a special gift and our school’s traditional Irish Blessing – May the Road…
May the road rise to meet you;
may the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and the rain fall soft upon your fields.
Until we meet again,
may God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
Year 6, you are all a true inspiration for your peers; aim high and never stop believing – you will achieve and we all believe in you.
Well done Corey in Class 1 for amazing writing when trying hard to write his name 🙂
Well done to Lexie in Class 4 for your unbelievable organisational skills in the run-up to your production of Wow What a Year.
Wow! What can we say?
We were all given an absolute treat today when the children of Class 4 performed their Leaver’s Production of ‘Wow! What a Year.’
The children were able to act, sing and perform to the highest qualities to their parents, who were delighted to watch on the outdoor stage (playground)!
We are all incredibly proud of the efforts of all the children in Class 4; you learned all your lines, songs, sourced your own costumes and made props…well done to everyone involved.
Class 4 – Wow! What a Year.
TT Rockstars Celebration Day – Be a Rockstar for the Day!
Dear Parent / Carer,
Throughout the whole of this year, our children have been working tirelessly hard on the development of their Multiplication Tables – these are essential skills to enhance the children’s mental mathematics and number property knowledge and understanding.
The children from each class have been actively involved in multiplication exercises through our TT Rockstars and Numbots initiative in school, and using their electronic devices at home.
May I first say a huge thank you for all your commitment in helping your child complete their TT Rockstars and Numbots at home – I hope there wasn’t too much competition!
As a reward for their tremendous efforts, we will be holding a TT Rockstars Celebration Day on Friday 9th July 2021. Throughout the Day, your child will experience the KaBoogie Disco Bus – due to COVID restrictions, the Disco bus will be stationary; have a session in the Nettlesworth Rockstar Disco, as well as completing mathematical challenges – all dressed as a Rockstar.
Your child can come to school dressed as rockstars for the day.
The children are really looking forward to their celebration day.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any queries.
Once again, thank you for your continuous support.
Kind regards
Mr. C. Graham
Deputy Head Teacher
Year 6’s Leaver’s Performance – 2021 – Wow! What a Year!
Dear Parent / Carer,
The children from Class 4 are delighted to showcase their performing arts skills on Friday 9th July 2021, starting at 10.00am. This is a unique event in the school-life of our children, as they have the opportunity to express themselves on stage and participate in the production of ‘Wow! What a Year!’
We are very proud of the determination and commitment our children have shown throughout the year, as well as in the run-up to their Leaver’s Performance, and we believe that you are in for a real treat!
As the children from Year 5 are very much part of our performance, and following current guidelines, we hope to welcome one parent from all the children in Class 4 (one parent per child for both Year 5 and 6) to attend the performance – we will aim to perform on the school yard. Should the weather be wet, we will aim to record the performance in school with no audience.
Please arrive for 9:50am to be seated for the performance – to begin at 10.00am. On arrival, please maintain a 2m distance, lining up against the school fence, where a member of staff will welcome you to your seat. We will be adhering to the COVID guidelines of 2m distance.
May I take this last opportunity to thank you for all your support throughout the year, and I wish you a very relaxing summer holiday.
Stay safe
Mr. Graham
Deputy Head Teacher

TT Rockstars – Top of the Rocks Co. Durham League
Dear Parent / Carer,
We are very proud with the commitment our children have shown to enhance their multiplication skills in school and at home, and their enthusiasm towards their TT Rockstars continues to grow term on term. We are delighted to offer our children the opportunity to compete in a TT Rockstars League – starting this week and running for 2 separate weeks. The children will continue to use their TT Rockstars exactly the same as they have been doing all year. Their scores from the OnLine game will go into an accumulative table for our school – Nettlesworth Primary. The children will be able to keep track of their progress and their class’s progress by accessing the Top of the Rocks tables and scores.
Please encourage your children to access their TT Rockstars account little and often each day. The running time for the League starts at 9:00am until 6:00pm each day.
The children in Class 1 will continue with their Numbots as per normal – their Numbots will run until the end of the year and into Class 2.
Good luck everyone and enjoy.
Come on Team Nettlesworth.
C. Graham
Deputy Head Teacher
