The children took part in a brilliant 5 Senses Workshop led by our school caterers. They explored and tried different foods using all of their senses — sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing. The children showed wonderful curiosity and bravery, with many trying new foods and talking about the textures, smells and flavours they noticed. This activity supported healthy eating discussions and encouraged open‑mindedness around food.
Well done to all of the children who have earned their TT Rockstar, Lexia or Numbots certificate this week. We were over the moon with how many children have been working hard over Christmas and this week! Keep up the hard work!
Well done to all of the children who earned their Headteacher Award this week! You have been doing some excellent work in class! Keep up the good work.
Our school disco was full of festive cheer as the children had an amazing time rocking around the Christmas tree! The excitement didn’t stop there—a very special visitor surprised every child with a selection box, making the evening even more magical.
A huge thank you to NSCG for their generous donations. Both the children and staff are incredibly grateful for your kindness and support.
Wishing all our families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🌟
This week, our entire school community came together for our magical Christingle service at our local church. Surrounded by family and friends, the children celebrated this special tradition with songs, prayers and the beautiful glow of Christingle candles.
It was a truly heartwarming occasion that reminded us of the importance of togetherness, hope, and light during the festive season. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this event so memorable!
Today was a truly magical day at Nettlesworth Primary! Our children lit up the school in their colourful Christmas jumpers, spreading joy and festive cheer throughout the dinner hall.
Sarah and Lisa made sure our stomachs were just as happy as our hearts, serving up a delicious Christmas dinner that everyone enjoyed. From laughter and smiles to tasty treats, it was a wonderful day filled with happiness and togetherness.
Adding to the excitement, Santa delivered a special letter to every child, bringing even more festive magic to the day. The joy on their faces was priceless as they opened their letters and shared their Christmas wishes!
Thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration so special!
This week, our mischievous visitors have taken over the school, spreading mayhem and giggles everywhere! From cheeky pranks to playful surprises, the elves are certainly keeping us on our toes.
But here’s the big question: Can our Rights Respecting attitudes and brilliant behaviour help turn these naughty elves around before Christmas Eve? Stay tuned to see if kindness and respect win the day!
Our children had an amazing experience working alongside local author Adam Bushnell and Sarah in a creative cooking workshop! They combined storytelling with culinary skills, turning everyday food into imaginative heroes and villains. From crafting characters out of ingredients to cooking up a storm in the kitchen, the children made delicious recipes from scratch, including gingerbread and chicken fajita pasta. It was a fantastic blend of creativity and teamwork—well done to everyone involved!
Well done to everyone who has achieved their next level in TT Rockstars, Numbots or Lexia this week. It is lovely to see you all working so hard at home and school!
Well done to everyone who earned their Headteacher Award this week! We are so proud of the amazing work you have been doing.
