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 🙂
On Friday 11th November, Nettlesworth Primary School gathered together to pay our respects to all those brave soldiers with a service including two minutes of silence, readings and poems.
We decorated the fence outside of the school with our artwork and writing that we have been working on in classes.
Today, Elaine, the Oral Hygienist, came to talk to us about the importance of keeping our teeth clean. She talked about different foods, which can be eaten on their own as snacks and those that need to be eaten as part of a meal. She showed us how to brush our teeth properly and explained what a dentist does when we visit their dental practice. We role-played as dentists and dental nurses. Elaine gave us new toothbrushes to take home.
Today we had lots of fun celebrating the end of our topic; Marvellous Me with our family. We worked with Stacey from STAR’s community group to make pizza portraits and read the story, ‘This is me’ before playing in our favourite classroom areas with our favourite people 🙂
UNCRC Article 29: Every child has the right to an education that develops their personality, talents and abilities to the full.
Today we had a visit from Nurse Louise who works in a big hospital near Newcastle. She came to work with Class 1 who are working on the topic ‘Marvellous Me/People who help us’ but also worked with children who are interested in a career in medicine and healthcare.
A wonderful effort by the children from Class 5 who demonstrated fabulous Rights Respecting ethos in their charitable work for Crisis Support. Our children donated money to participate in a variety of activities including shelter building; fashion parade and soup kitchen to raise funds for the charity.

Well done to all our children who have worked very hard to impress their teachers and achieved their Head Teacher Award.
