Our first week at Science club is complete! We had lots of fun trying to build tall structures using only marshmallows and dry spaghetti! We had to do lots of investigating and shaping to get the right balance. Look at our fantastic models.

A special thank you to Amelia and Lacie Mae, our super Science ambassadors, who helped out with the club.

UNCRC 31 – Right to join in a range of activities.

Today Darren from the SSP came into school to carry out our first Inter-house Competition of the year. Our brand new Sports Leaders worked with him to set up 5 throwing events for classes 1, 2 and 3. All of our children amazed us and tried so hard to win points for their teams. We cant wait to see the overall scores on the doors!

We are so proud of our little runners Jasleen, Praim and Sophie. They have completed the mini GNR this weekend. Well done guys, you are amazing! And well done to any adults that also ran on Sunday too.

Our first Headteachers Award since coming back to school after Summer.

We are all so proud of the children who have caught the eye of their teachers and Mrs Lee this week.

We would like to introduce our brand new Playground Buddies and Sports Leaders!

Before the summer the some children from year 2 volunteered to become playground buddies and worked super hard to train with Mr Beveridge. They are now fully trained and ready to support our Sports Leaders and children at playtimes. A massive well done to these children!

In KS2 several children trained to become Sports Leaders. These children also worked super hard with Mr Beveridge and are now qualified! They will be helping teachers run PE lessons, as well as leading games at playtimes and helping to run clubs and events with Mrs Aspinall. Look out for all of their hard work. Again a huge congratulations to these children too!

We are super proud of you all!

Today we celebrated the end of our Cornerstones topic by holding an Afternoon Tea Party for the Queen. We even had a lovely visitor. Look at how lovely we all looked in our fancy clothes!

Thank you very much to Sarah in the kitchen for helping us prepare our food!

Geography in Class 2

Today we welcomed Mrs Barclay, one of our governors,  into class. She, very kindly, offered to answer our questions we had about living in London. We have learnt lots about London during our Bright Lights, Big City topic this half term. We all came up with a question and asked her it. We learnt lots about what it is like to live in London and how it differs from where we live here in the North East.

Thank you Mrs Barclay.

Well done to Jodie in Class 1 for always working hard to keep her presentation the best it can possibly be, across all areas of the curriculum – super proud of you 🙂
