We have amazing news to share with you all …. our hard work in PE was recognised over the summer with us being awarded PLANTINUM School Games Mark for 2021-23. This is the highest award possible and we are so proud of the hard work all of our pupils and staff do in terms of PE and Sports. They demonstrate all of the Sainsburys values in PE lessons and this shines through into all subjects they do. We love that our leaders are amazing and always spoken so highly of by visitors in and out of school.

Today was our first Forest School Session with Alice from OASES. We had lots of fun taking part in different activities. We joined in looking for the colours of the rainbow, hide and seek, giant art work and fabric pressing. We were fantastic using the tools, we all did so very safely. Our favourite task was hide and seek and we learnt lots about the colours of the seasons.

Today we had lots of fun visiting the Hancock Museum in Newcastle. We learnt all about the fossils and how Scientists can learn about animals from the past by studying them. We were lucky (or unlucky) enough to hold dinosaur poo!! We have had such a lovely day learning all about our topic : Dinosaur Planet.

A massive thank you to Mrs Lofthouse, our governor, for her help today.

On Monday 12th September 2022, an exciting and motivating Illustrator and Author called Liz Million spent the day working with all of our children in the school.

Liz ran workshops for each of the different classes, talking to the children about her life and how she pushed herself to follow her dream of making her love of drawing her career. She launched all of the classes new cornerstones topics and brought to life their imaginations 🙂

She showed the children a portfolio of work that she had collected from early childhood and throughout her career and encouraged the children to put down their electronics and pick up a pencil! Liz talked about and demonstrated her unique drawing techniques, using characters related to their English topics. The children were all then given the opportunity to follow her step by step, creating their own story illustrations.

A thoroughly enjoyable day was experienced by all and our newly developed drawing skills will continue to grow!
