Memorable Experience
Today we found a fairy garden!
Mrs Miller spotted something sparkly so we went to investigate.
We were so surprised to find a fairy door and a little note.
We discussed the note we had found and thought of questions we would like to find the answer to.
How exciting!
We hope to see the school fairy again soon!

Dear Parents/Carers,
Confirmed case of COVID-19 within school
We have been advised this morning that there has been a confirmed case of COVID-19 within the school during half term.
We know that you will find this concerning but would like to assure you that we contacted Public Health England and the DfE immediately, have followed their instructions and will continue to follow their advice and guidance.
The affected case has been absent from school since 24th October for half term holidays. NO adult or child has been identified as a close contact and therefore no one needs to make any changes to their usual routine. School remains open and your child should continue to attend if they remain well.
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are recent onset of:
If your child, or anyone in your household, develops these symptoms, you whole household must remain at home and not go to work, school or public areas. You should arrange testing for the person who has developed symptoms. When the result is known further advice will be available.
Testing can be arranged by calling 119 or via the NHS website: nhs.uk/coronavirus.
There are things we can all do to help reduce the risk of you and anyone you live with getting ill with COVID-19:
Yours Sincerely
Donna Lee
Head Teacher

Class 3 felt very proud painting a community art project for the police. We illustrated UNCRC Article 28, every child has a right to an education. UNCRC Article 31, every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a range of cultural and artistic activities and UNCRC Article 24, every child has the right to best possible health. Governments must work to provide best possible healthcare, clean water, nutritious food. We look forward to seeing the artwork on display in Chester-le-Street.
We looked at a range of intricate Anglo-Saxon patterns. We then used our sketch books to improve our mastery of art and design techniques by sketching our own Anglo-Saxon patterns. We used our patterns to create print blocks onto polystyrene. We were really pleased with our finished designs!
