Otterburn Primary School & Nursery - New

It was a windy afternoon in the forest. We went on an unsuccessful cricket hunt and enjoyed hiding in the long grass. It's amazing how much it changes from week to week.

We hope everyone has a lovely weekend and that year 5 and 6 catch up on some much needed sleep after a very busy week.

Father’s Day pop up shop. Open again tomorrow breaktime. 💙

🎁 **Father’s Day Pop-Up Shop** 🎁
A reminder that our Father’s Day Pop-Up Shop will be open on **Thursday 18th June** and **Friday 19th June**.
Children will have the opportunity to choose and purchase a small gift for their Dad or another special person. The shop will be open at playtime on Thursday and at playtime on Friday.
If you would like your child to take part, please send them into school with a small amount of pocket money on one of these days.
All money raised will go directly towards supporting school projects through the Otterburn PTA.

Thank you for your patience today and apologies for the delay. The children have taken it all in their stride and have enjoyed some snacks and a game of football while we waited.
We look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Our final day. Sunshine and showers, fun in the park and then a great time in the pool. Everyone enjoyed the slide - well done to those who were a little worried at first but gave it a go and ended up going down again and again. We're looking forward to getting home soon!

Residential Trip Update 🚍
We are currently delayed leaving Haltwhistle Pool. We will continue with our original plan and will first drop the Greenhaugh children off in Bellingham before returning to Otterburn to drop off the Otterburn children.

We will keep parents updated with our estimated arrival times as we make our way home. Thank you for your patience.

The girls have now surfaced and enjoyed their breakfast! They're currently busy sorting out their bags, packing up their rooms and getting their swimming things ready for this morning.
Everyone is in good spirits and looking forward to one final activity before we begin our journey home later today. 🏊‍♀️😊

Good morning from Greenhead!
All is quiet with the girls! Meanwhile, the boys are up, full of energy, bags packed and already enjoying a game of pool before breakfast.
The boys have also had a head start on breakfast this morning as some were beginning to get hungry!
We're looking forward to our final day together before heading home later. 😊🚍

After a walk to the Roman Army Museum this morning, our Year 5/6 pupils hopped on the bus to Vindolanda for an afternoon of Roman discovery! 🚌🏛️⚔️
The children explored the fascinating remains of the Roman settlement. We even found a sign showing that Rome is 1,125 miles away – a brilliant reminder of just how vast the Roman Empire once was!
The children have asked some fantastic questions.
Now we're looking forward to a relaxing film night together before our final day tomorrow! 🍿🎬😊
