Paul Cookson whole school workshop

10th June 2022 By lauragrant

Today the children had a visit from the amazing poet and author (and totally awesome ukulelist); Paul Cookson. He delivered an amazing workshop to the whole school with some hilarious poems! The children (and the staff!) loved taking part in the actions and words. There was so much laughter and love for poetry created at Nettlesworth today!

After the assembly, each class had the chance to take part in a workshop with Him, linking to our new cornerstones topics. With some of his creative help, we began to make our own poems and wow they are all fantastic! Well done everyone and thanks you Paul 🪕📖

Check out our photos and videos of a day we will never forget 😊

Platinum Jubilee Picnic with Parents 2022

28th May 2022 By lauragrant

UNCRC Article 31: Every child has the right to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts.

To celebrate 70 years of our wonderful; Queen Elizabeth II, we hosted a picnic with the whole school and their families this afternoon. In true British weather style the weather was wet and then broke out onto glorious sunshine. Despite this the afternoon was filled with laughter, dancing and eating soggy sandwiches!

Thank you to everyone who came along and made the day a huge success – it was great to share such an important event with the whole community ! 🇬🇧

Class 1’s Jubilee Celebrations

26th May 2022 By lauragrant

UNCRC Article 31: Every child has the right to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts.

Class 1 have enjoyed 2 weeks of learning focused around the Queen, her life and the city of London. We have learned the national anthem, looked at landmarks in London, made flags, crowns and jubilee decorations for the front of the school and dug into her history over the last 70 years she has reigned.

To celebrate the finale of our learning at home and in school we invited our parents in for a jubilee picnic – it was so much fun! 🇬🇧

Class 5 have enjoyed the last 2 weeks coming to Forest Schools with Mrs Morton and Class 1. We have been working at a team to clear up the woodland site, build dens and even toast marshmallows on the fire. The children were fantastic role models for our youngest children in the school too!

Thank you Class 5! 🙂

SKIP into Spring

17th May 2022 By lauragrant

Class 1

This week, class 1 have been working with the skipping school virtual coaches and alongside County Durham Sport to take us on a skipping journey.

We have been looking at fundamental skills and made lots of progression. Our favourite game was ‘Big Rope Bouncing’.




Class 2

We have had lots of fun combining National Skipping Week and our Numeracy work this week. We have been skipping in different directions ensuring that we can respond to positional and directional vocabulary. We are super impressed with all of the skipping skills in class 2. We have remembered lots from our sessions with Gail and we were able to watch the virtual coaches and put the skills into action. Look at us go …. double bouncing, hopping and backwards skipping!



Class 3

Today we have taken part in our ‘Skip into spring’ skipping school! We practiced some skills we were confident with and had a go at some new ones, the virtual coaches had taught us. The children really impressed me and had lots of fun in the sun!

UNCRC Article 31 – Every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of activities. 

Class 4

This week is Skipping Week and Class 4 have been practising and perfecting their skipping techniques! We watched lots of helpful videos in class to explain new moves and to recap the basics and had a fantastic time trying to see just how many jumps we could do in 1 minute. Jake and Freddie even managed to wow us by doing the Side Swing Cross! We are continuing our newfound skipping skills in both our PE lessons and our breaktimes.

Well done to all of Class 4 for giving 100% effort in their skipping and for encouraging each other along the way.





Class 5

UNCRC Article 31 – leisure, play and culture

Well done to all our children in Class 5 this week who demonstrated some fantastic skipping skills using the resources from Skipping School.

Adam Bushnell Experience

3rd May 2022 By lauragrant

UNCRC Article 28 – Every child has the right to an education.

Today Adam Bushnell worked with a group of our children to develop their imagination and creative writing styles. He engaged them in hands on way and the language and vocabulary that was developed throughout the session was incredible! The children received a signed copy of their favourite Adam Bushnell text too – well done everyone 🙂

8th April 2022 By lauragrant

This afternoon class 1 were disturbed by a strange  scratching noise from under their classroom window! When they looked over they saw a ball of white fur hop past… they immediately went to investigate and when we followed the trail of mysterious eggs we found a how Easter Hunt left by the Easter Bunny!

We were EGG-stremely EGG-cited 🐰
