Today we went on our trip to Hamsterly Forest and we had lots of fun.

 

In class 1 and 2 we made friendship bracelets out of Gruffalo colours, made messy mixtures to feed the animals, made animal footprints with sticks, design fairy houses and played on the park. What a busy day we have had! We are all super tired now!

 

Class 3 had a fantastic time at the forest and learnt lots of new skills. We practiced moving in different directions, played map bingo, looked at lots of map symbols and completed a fun orienteering task to test out our map skills. It was a lovely day in the sun!

 

We loved looking after our butterflies but the time came to set them free. We have loved watching them grow and are excited to see if we get anymore on our school field.

 

Today we had the best Sports Day in such a long time! It was amazing being able to welcome back all of our families to watch us in our annual Sports Day.

The children took part in a range of races designed and planned by our SSOCs and Sports Leaders. They worked so had in the weeks leading up to the event to make it possible.

A massive thank you to our children who make this event the happy occasion that it is. Once again we saw our Rights Respecting behaviour and ethos throughout the day.

 

We are pleased to announce that RED TEAM have kept their crown for a second year in a row! Well done Red’s!

 

We had so much fun when Alexis and Ella visited us to teach us all about minibeasts in our school grounds. We enjoyed hunting for bugs and comparing them on a checklist. We used equipment to look carefully at the bugs we found. We then released them back in to their habitats. Finally we planted flowers to take home. We had such a lovely day and learnt so much!

What a wonderful treat we had today when we welcomed the Durham Music Services Brass Band into school. We were introduced to a variety of instruments including: French Horn; Cornet; Trumpet…and we’re given a demonstration as to how they sounded individually and part of an entire band.

We all believe that our children have been inspired by the musicians and we could have future career prospects in the making.

Once again, outstanding rights respecting gold ethos by all our children and staff – a truly wonderful afternoon. Well done everyone.

Today the children had a visit from the amazing poet and author (and totally awesome ukulelist); Paul Cookson. He delivered an amazing workshop to the whole school with some hilarious poems! The children (and the staff!) loved taking part in the actions and words. There was so much laughter and love for poetry created at Nettlesworth today!

After the assembly, each class had the chance to take part in a workshop with Him, linking to our new cornerstones topics. With some of his creative help, we began to make our own poems and wow they are all fantastic! Well done everyone and thanks you Paul 🪕📖
