Reception Superhero Assembly 🌟 Today, Reception wowed us all with their fantastic Superhero Assembly! The children worked incredibly hard on their amazing pictures and put in so much effort to learn their words and songs. Their enthusiasm, confidence, and teamwork really shone through — we are so proud of them all!

What an adventure! 🎉 Year 6 have had an amazing week away at Newbry Wiske Hall on their residential! From bouncing around on the water inflatable to battling it out in archery tag and soaring down the zip wire – they’ve done it all! Every single child threw themselves into the fun and had a fantastic time. 🏹💦🌲 The children gained so many new experiences—building confidence on the zip wire, learning teamwork during archery tag, and trying out exciting challenges like the water inflatable. It’s been a week full of memories they’ll never forget! The children showed fantastic behavior throughout the week—kind, respectful, and full of enthusiasm! They were a credit to themselves and the school, making the whole experience even more enjoyable for everyone. A huge thank you to all the amazing staff who made this trip possible! Your energy, care, and support helped make the week unforgettable for every child. We couldn’t have done it without you! 🙌✨

Reception had a fantastic time at Hall Hill Farm yesterday. They enjoyed the tractor ride, fed sheep and goats and held some cute chicks and guinea pigs! We all had such fun and had a lovely little snooze on the way back to school!

Well done to our Year 6 class! All of our Year 6 pupils completed their SATs last week, and we couldn’t be prouder of their hard work and determination. As a special treat, we had a visit from the ice cream man! The children were thrilled and thoroughly enjoyed their well-earned ice creams in the sunshine. A lovely way to celebrate their efforts!

Our Y5 and Y6 Boys football team travelled to Stoke City's Ground on Friday to take part in the Pokémon Small Schools Finals. They came third in the group after three very well played draws. We are very proud of all the Boys for making it all the way to the finals and for representing the School in an excellent opportunity for them.

Year 1 have been planning their own seeds as part of their science lessons. We are going to be tending to our plants over the next few weeks to see if they grow. Ask you child what their plant needs to grow.

Rosary Club came together on Monday to pray the Rosary in memory of Pope Francis. The children set up their sacred space with care and led prayers beautifully.

During the last week of term, each of our house groups took a turn to lead a whole-school celebration of the Word, focused on a particular part of the events of Holy Week. Each group worked together to create a large piece of art linked to the event that their worship was focused on and this art was displayed while the children lead us in readings, prayers and hymns. Everyone took part in a prayerful and reflective way, which was wonderful to see.

Year 5 have been making an adapted recipe for Spaghetti Bolognese in DT. We made a vegetarian version and used fusilli instead of spaghetti. We added extra vegetables and used passata instead of tinned tomatoes.

In Year 3, we had the most exciting morning making homes for worms as part of our science topic, Rocks and Soils. We created small, cosy habitats for the worms using soil, paper, and small rocks, ensuring they had enough space to move around and burrow. The worms will stay in school for a week, and after that, we'll take them home for the Easter holidays. We're really excited because we'll be observing changes in the soil over the next three weeks, looking for any differences the worms make as they dig and move through the layers. It's going to be fascinating to see how the soil changes with the worms' activity!

Year 5 had a special visitor on Monday from Newcastle College. The children worked in groups to make working wind turbines and tested how many volts these produced. This workshop helped to embed their learning on renewable energy
