Prudhoe Castle First School

We have been busy in KS2 this morning, completing our Commando Joe mission of creating a spacesuit for a spaceman!

Year 1 are investigating 3D shapes. Look at this marvellous creation!

What a great first week back in little castle and happy new year everyone, we’ve loved getting out in the snow, making our own snowmen, practicing putting on hats/gloves and scarves and matching the different patterned gloves ⛄️

YOU ARE GOLD!!!!!! Well done to this week’s Gold Star and Presentation winners.

We made the most of the icy weather and investigated different ways to rescue the animals. We discovered salt worked the best to free those feet!

We are working on upper and lower case letters in our handwriting. It takes a lot of concentration but look how well we’re doing!

KS1 have started their collage art unit. Check back in a few weeks to see our final masterpieces!

Erica from NUFC came in today to teach the EYFS children how to throw underarm. Separating into teams teaches the children how to work together, take turns and embrace healthy competition. We had great fun playing tag and throwing objects into the hoops.

KS2 have started our new topic in Science of forces and magnets. We have been looking at contact forces and how we use push and pull forces every single day.

Places are still available for September 25. The deadline to apply is 15th January 2025

Happy New Year from all of us in Early Years! What a great start we’ve had today. The children were very excited to see one another and share their Christmas holiday stories. Lovely to be back!

Could anyone that works in care home or similar make use of face masks? We have boxes of them left over from Covid which we will never use. Please share

Happy New Year! We can't wait to see you all! 😁😁

Just a message to say there will be no 'Breakfast Phonics' or 'Times Table Club' before school on Monday the 6th of January.

Both clubs will begin again on Tuesday the 7th of January, usual time and place!

Going forward, Times Table Club will run on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Mornings. Breakfast Phonics club will continue to be daily.

See you all Monday! 😁

Don't forget to log into MCAS ahead of Monday and choose your school dinners!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the KS1 crew!

In computing, we have been planning and creating our own stop motion animations in KS2. We looked at how putting a number of different frames together allows us to create our own moving image.
