Our first week at Science club is complete! We had lots of fun trying to build tall structures using only marshmallows and dry spaghetti! We had to do lots of investigating and shaping to get the right balance. Look at our fantastic models.
A special thank you to Amelia and Lacie Mae, our super Science ambassadors, who helped out with the club.

Dear parents/carers,
We’ve been consulting with parents, pupils and staff to make sure our new relationships and sex education (RSE) curriculum meets the government’s requirements, as well as the needs of our pupils.
We’ve worked hard to make sure that our new curriculum reflects:
We’ve now updated our RSE policy to include our proposed new curriculum.
You’ll find a copy of our new draft policy attached to this letter. We’ve also made it available on our website at www.nettlesworth.durham.sch.uk
If you have any feedback on the proposed curriculum, and the wider policy, please contact Mrs D Lee on d.lee103@nettlesworth.durham.sch.uk

Yours sincerely,

We had such a fantastic day, celebrating all things Roald Dahl today.
The children all looked amazing in their costumes and wearing yummy yellow – his favourite colour! There were some outstanding homemade costumes that must have taken so long to make.
The children all came together in assembly to celebrate Roald Dahl and the children then took part in various Roald Dahl activities in their classrooms throughout the day.
We are so proud of our little runners Jasleen, Praim and Sophie. They have completed the mini GNR this weekend. Well done guys, you are amazing! And well done to any adults that also ran on Sunday too.
