Cornerstones Curriculum

Showcase – 22.10.21

UNCRC Article 38 (war and armed conflicts)

What a lovely way to finish our Cornerstones Curriculum Fallen Fields topic this term – a Street Party to celebrate the end of World War 1.

The children made bunting to string across the classroom,  wreaths and poppies to remember those who made the biggest sacrifice whilst serving their country, ate party food from WW1 (1918) whilst listening to wartime music.

Well done to all children in Class 5 – you really are fabulous and demonstrated your Rights Respecting Gold ethos across the entire term.

Our school is closed for an Inset day on Friday 26^th November.

To help parents, staff from Sacriston Youth Project have volunteered to host a free holiday club 8:30-15:15 at Nettlesworth Community Centre.

They don’t have use of the full centre due to baby groups running in the big hall.  Therefore, they will need to limit the numbers to 25 places.

Parents can book a place via the youth project’s website here Bookings Checkout | SYP (sacristonyouthproject.co.uk)

Children who are registered to attend the Friday youth club and also booked to attend the holiday club can remain with them from 15:15 until their normal session starts at 16:00.

Well done to Erica, Isla, George and Karen  for excellent work this week in rising star assessments, number skills, determination and received Head Teacher’s Award.

Predator topic end of term showcase!

UNCRC Article 29 – Education should develop each child’s personality and talents to the full.

Class 4 have really enjoyed their predator topic and I am impressed with everyone’s knowledge and new skills, using online research in ICT the children created power points and then presented them to the rest of the class.

 

In DT, Class 4 created amazing 3D predator sculptures working together as a team!

Homework superstars!

UNCRC Article 28 – Every child is entitled to an education.

Well done to all of those who have completed their homework each week this half term. The children loved their little treat to say thank you.

 

Well done to Harry, Naya, Jacob, Evie and Nolan for excellent work this week in writing, number skills, determination and received Head Teacher’s Award.

Cornerstones Celebration

Today marked the end of our first Cornerstones topic – Dinosaur Planet. We had lots of fun recapping what we have learnt this half term. We then read our favourite dinosaur story, danced to dinosaur music, played games and ate dinosaur poo! We have really enjoyed our first topic and are looking forward to the next one.

Article 28 – Right to an education

 

 

Jacob in Class 4, started a new football team last night and trained for 2 hours in the rain. He then got awarded player of the week for his efforts on his first day of training. We are so proud of you Jacob!

Well done to one of our youngest children in the school, Oscar in Class 1!

He has demonstrated amazing skills in his Little Kickers club – we are so proud of you 🙂

 

UNCRC Article 14: All children has the right to think and believe what they want and to practise their religion.

Today in Assembly we looked at The History of Black lives and found out why Black History is celebrated in many countries around the world.

Black History Month Assembly

Today, we joined as a whole school to take part in our Harvest Festival – it was strange not being at the church joined by all of our family and friends, however we have recorded a video for you all to watch from the comfort of your own homes.

Thank you for all of the amazing donations for our Harvest Collection – Durham Foodbank will be collecting next Tuesday 🙂
