Keep it up guys!

A massive thank you and well done to all of our children and families! You have helped us raise money for Child In Need, our current total is £68.

We had lots of fun dressing up in rainbow colours and joining in with Joe Wickes’ last 15 minutes of his 24 hour exercise marathon. The children were super stars, as always!

Sarah even made us Pudsey Bear biscuits for lunch.

On the afternoon a special little visitor came along to give a little smile from the doors of each classroom – Baby Bobby Bear! 🐻

Once again, thank you!

A massive well done to this weeks Headteachers award children. They have worked super hard in school all week and we are all so proud of them. Well done!

• For the attention of our current year 2 pupils parents and carers.

Dear Parents and Carers

As you are aware your child was due to take their year 1 phonics screening check in June 2020. Due to lockdown the government rescheduled this and have now given us a time frame to complete the check. We have until the Christmas break to complete the screening check with your child.

This check will be carried out with Mrs Aspinall and Mrs Lee, your child will be encouraged to read a mixture of 40 real and nonsense words. This is an opportunity for your child to show off their phonics skills and is very low key. The children have practised reading similar words during our phonics sessions so this is nothing the children aren’t familiar with.

Once all children have completed the check we will inform you of their scores.

For more information, please see our website where you will find an informative PowerPoint and revision pack. Please see the links below.

Any questions, please feel free to ask.

Many Thanks

Mrs Aspinall

Today class 1 and 2 were so lucky to have Rio and Alice from OASES join us in school. They brought the wonder of Hamsterley Forest to us! We had lots of fun exploring our school grounds whilst developing our map reading skills. We also collect lots of natural materials to help us make stick animals and people. They all look so wonderful! We had such fun and cant wait to see them Rio and Alice again!

A massive well done to this weeks Haedteachers Award …

The children are continuing to impress us and we are happy with all of their hard work this week. Well done!

Memorable Experience

Today we found a fairy garden!

Mrs Miller spotted something sparkly so we went to investigate.

We were so surprised to find a fairy door and a little note.

We discussed the note we had found and thought of questions we would like to find the answer to.

How exciting!

We hope to see the school fairy again soon!
