The children in EYFS had a wonderful day on their educational visit to Seaburn Beach. Our adventure began with a walk to the lighthouse, where we discussed its purpose and linked it to the knowledge we have been learning in class. The children were excited to see a real lighthouse and enjoyed sharing what they knew about how it helps to keep boats and ships safe at sea.

When we arrived at the beach, we watched the tide slowly move out, revealing more and more of the sandy shore. This was a fantastic opportunity for the children to observe nature in action and talk about what happens to the sea throughout the day.

The children then had lots of fun exploring the beach, building impressive sandcastles, digging in the sand and paddling in the sea. There were plenty of smiles and laughter as they enjoyed playing together and making special memories with their friends.

To finish our exciting day, we all enjoyed a delicious fish and chips lunch by the seaside. The children were extremely well-behaved throughout the trip and represented our school brilliantly.

It was a fantastic day of learning, exploration and fun, which the children will remember for a long time! 🌊🏖️⚓🐚🐟🍟

Today, we celebrated a wonderful milestone as our little learners graduated from the Early Years Foundation Stage. It’s been a year filled with laughter, discovery, and growth. We’ve watched them blossom—learning to share, explore, and express themselves with confidence.

As they take their first steps into Key Stage 1, we couldn’t be prouder of how far they’ve come. Congratulations to our EYFS graduates—your adventure is just beginning! 🌟📚

Today we performed our end of year performance on stage to the whole school and our parents. We learned the storyline, parts, songs and actions perfectly, putting on the most amazing show 😊

We were delighted to host a special charity event in support of the Great North Children’s Hospital, helping to raise funds for the care and support provided to children like Leo. The afternoon was filled with fun, laughter and teamwork as the children enjoyed a range of football activities with their friends. It was wonderful to see our school community come together for such an important cause. The Sports Leaders did an amazing job at running the event and supporting the chidlren.

We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our parents and families for their kind donations and generosity, we raised £254, which will make a great difference. A very special thank you also, to Candy Kids for their incredible support, including donating an inflatable football goal and a visit from Sonic the Hedgehog, who was a huge hit with the children! Their kindness helped create a truly memorable afternoon for Leo.

Carson has been working super hard at Beavers and has now earned his explorers badge, first aid badge and a special Jambowree badge, for taking part in a worldwide scout ten pin bowling competition. What an amazing achievement!

Well done to all of the children who earned their Headteacher award this week, for all of your hard work in class!

This week children have took part in Art Week, during our class swap day, giving every child the chance to explore a range of exciting and creative activities. Throughout the day, pupils worked with their new teachers and experienced a variety of art activities. It was wonderful to see children so engaged, building new skills and expressing their creativity in different ways, while enjoying the opportunity to learn alongside new classmates.

UNCRC Article 31 – every child has the right to take part in a wide range of artistic activities.
