YEAR 2 - The children loved their visit from the fire service today. 🚒 They have been learning all about the ‘Great Fire of London’ and asked lots of exciting questions.🔥They were also able to get lots of ideas for their fire engine designs that they will start building next week in DT! 👩🏼‍🚒🔥

Maggie 💕

Just to say a massive thank you to our amazing children, families & staff who have been amazing with Maggie over her first few weeks in school. As a school we were excited to start, but seeing the impact she is having on mental health, attendance and behaviour has been wonderful! The children are so calm and gentle with her and she absolutely loves her job (even if she spends most of the day asleep 💤 🤣)

She has loved visiting classrooms, playing outside, going in the inflatable planetarium and watching choir! Over the coming weeks she will begin more specific training, and we can’t wait to see what she gets up too! 🐶💕

Beach Trip - Year 2 - June 2024

What a trip this was! We will never forget the smiles on their faces when they first jumped into the icy North Sea! Despite the strong winds and long day, this group were amazing with their sketching, sand art and rounders! After lunch, with the sun shining went spent some time in the sea before a soggy and sandy journey home! What a day 💙🌊

Social media posts incoming 💕

Due to some copyright/sound issues and technology issues, we’ve been unable to post some photos from Summer term last year. These posts include: Year 2 Beach Trip, Sports Day, WISE Games & Year 4 leavers footage to name a few!

We think we have cracked it so over the next week or so, you may see these posts pop up! We are doing our best to get them to you, even this late in the day as we know how important photos of our little ones enjoying themselves are!

Thanks for your patience 💕

Thank you to the astronomers from Kielder Observatory who delivered a free session in their travelling planetarium today. The children (and Maggie our therapy dog) had so much fun learning about the different constellations and planets!

LEAVERS 2024!!

What a day, I am currently putting together a video of our leavers parade. Parents/carers if you have any shots from the breakfast or parade, please message this page and send them over so we can include them! Thanks for the amazing photos you have all sent so far 🥰

Year 4 have had an amazing week so far and they have even more to look forward to tomorrow! Here are some pictures from the disco on Monday and the leavers’ lunch today. A huge thank you to Ella’s Grandma Jane for making the fabulous balloon arch!

Reminders for Monday!

All of the information has been sent out via email however just in case…

Monday is a non school uniform day for ALL children. Please ensure their clothes are practical and appropriate for school (no heeled shoes etc). If you have purchased a disco ticket for your child, please send your child to school in their disco outfit! 💃🏻🕺🏻

If you have purchased a disco ticket, it will finish at 5pm on Monday evening. Children will exit via their normal doors on the yard.

FINALLY… 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

As you may be aware, England are through to the final of the Euros and are playing on Sunday night!!!

We anticipate there will be a lot of children wanting to watch the match meaning there may be some tired children on Monday morning! We are therefore having two start times.

All staff will be in school as normal on Monday morning and breakfast club will also be open as normal for any children booked into this.

Children can be brought into school for 8.30am or for our later opening time of 10.00am. If arriving at 10am, the school gates will be opened for 5 minutes so please enter school via your normal routes. If you opt for the later start your child will still receive their attendance mark for the morning, however any children arriving after 10.05am will be marked late or absent accordingly.

Come on England!!! It's coming home (we hope...)!!!

Maggie meets Year 4! 🐶🐾

Today was Maggie’s first day on site amongst the children! She was fantastic in her sit and settle command on the yard this morning, watching but ignoring all the boys and girls coming to school who did a fantastic job at staying calm! Well done!

Year 4 were offered the chance to meet her today as they are leaving before she will start with us in September. They were amazing and Maggie had the best time! There was lots of cuddles, kisses and zoomies! A few quote today were “I didn’t think a dog could make me so happy but I can’t stop smiling”, “I’m sad I won’t get more time with her, she would have been so good when I was having a bad day”, “I don’t think I’ve ever felt this happy”.

We are so excited for Maggie to start properly in September, we are already seeing how much of an impact she can have. A huge thank you to Sarah and Graeme at Wiggle Waggle for breeding, looking after and helping to train such a calm and confident pup 💕

Ian Lowery Tournament 2024 ⚽️

Wow! Wow! Wow!

I am so unbelievably proud of this group of children today! They have been superstars for the last couple of months during training, but seeing them come together today was brilliant.

Both teams struggled through tricky group stages, with some brilliant team performances, goals and saves! Despite this they both made it to the semi-finals…against each other!!

As a teacher this is less than ideal but I was so proud to see all of our children playing together and supporting each other! Thunder came out victorious and made it through to the final! After a school huddle, we got behind our team!

A tough final against a brilliant wylam side, went 0-0 until the final minute when Wylam got the winner.

A brilliant day and I’m so proud of our group for always showing respect and for brilliant sportsmanship above all else!

Thank you to the parents for chaperoning and staying with us, sorry for the delay! A huge thank you to Chris Reynolds for your help coaching this year, very much appreciated!

West ❤️

Year 4 have had a wonderful time on their trip today. They caught the train to Wylam, visited George Stephenson’s cottage where they listened to a National Trust historian and had a picnic and play in the park. They have sketched, been on a mini-beast hunt, drawn maps and WALKED! We are proud of you all for your great behaviour and resilience- well done Year 4!

Meet Maggie 🤍✨🐾

As most of you will already have heard either from the very excited children or the email sent earlier today, Maggie is our new school therapy dog.

An email with our school dog policy and risk assessment was sent out today filled with lots of information, so please read through if you have any questions!

Maggie is Miss Gray’s pup but will come to school everyday from October while she undergoes her training although will pop in before then for short bursts to get used to her environment 🥰

Therapy dogs have a range of positives including improved attendance, regulated behaviour, improved nurture provision, improved self esteem, reading fluency and of course just general well-being. Maggie's role in school will be to support children in a variety of ways, and we cannot wait to see the impact she will have!

Happy Half Term 💕
