UNCRC Article 29 – Education must develop a child’s talent.
We now have our very own Art Ambassadors. We have so many amazing artists in school and feel it is important to celebrate this! We have chosen 6 children we feel have shown this talent, to help with art events, art lessons and to inspire other children. Well done to Dylan, Hannah, Lara, Jessica, Gabriel and Farren for showing us your art skills.
A massive thank you to everyone for your kind donations to St Cuthbert’s Hospice. We had lots of fun taking part in our annual Elf run. Thank you to the sports leaders for organising it and to Mandy, from the hospice, for cheering us all on.
Well done everyone!
Christmas Jumper Day is Save the Children’s annual event which raises money for the children who need it most. Every December, millions of people across the United Kingdom (and beyond!) put on a festive knit at their workplace, school or with friends and make a donation to help give children the magical future they deserve.
At Nettlesworth Primary School we celebrated this on Wednesday 13th December 2023 raising money for this amazing charity as well as spreading festive cheer!
We also had a surprise visit from Santa – every child receiving a written response to their letter / list that they sent to the North Pole. Not forgetting a wonderful Christmas Lunch with all of the staff and children in the school hall 🙂

Over the term, KS2 have been working hard with Mr Stokoe to learn how to play the Ukulele. The children have learnt lots of different chords and now know how to play a range of songs. To celebrate their hard work, this morning the children performed in a concert to the rest of the school. Class 3, 4 and 5 played a range of songs and sang along. We are so impressed by how talented the children are and how quickly they have picked it up!
Well done everyone!
What a lovely afternoon we have all had when our children and families were welcomed into Saint Philip and Saint James Church – Kimblesworth – to celebrate our Christingle.
The children read their readings superbly and sang their songs to give a truly magical performance in church.
Thank you to all our carers, parents and family members for celebrating our Christingle with us.
From all the children and staff of Nettlesworth Primary School, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
Class 1 and 2 had lots of fun performing the Christmas Show to family and friends this week. Their singing, dancing and remembering of lines was fantastic.
What a super performance of the ‘The Nativity’ – Well done everyone 🙂

This week KS2 performed in their Christmas Performance. Every child was absolutely amazing and we are all so proud of you. The children performed in front of both the children and their parents and they were fantastic both times. Well done KS2!
Today we all gathered in the school hall to take part in our annual tradition of decorating the Christmas Tree. Each child put a bauble on before the grand finale of the light switch on. It was so much fun dancing and singing to the festive music before sitting down to listen to the poem read by Mrs Lee; ‘Twas the night before Christmas.
Kalma Life are excited to announce their free holiday activities with Fun and Food. This is a fully funded programme that can be accessed by all.
Please see letter for further details.
On Friday 17th November, we celebrated Children in Need Day. Our Rights Respecting Council & Sports Leaders arranged some SPOT-acular activities for each classroom to be involved in to raise money for disadvantaged children and young people in the UK. Thank you to everyone in our school family for coming into school in non-uniform, spots or something yellow and donating money. We are overwhelmed with your generosity! Thank you again for supporting such an important cause 🙂
