As part of our RE topic on Books, the children have been finding out about the Bible and how the Gospels are found in The New Testament. We looked at the responses and actions used before and after the Gospel is read and then the children experienced these through role-play. The class interviewed some of our Year 6 pupils who are altar servers, in order to find out more about their responsibilities when preparing for this special part of the Mass.
Year 2, Year 1 and Reception children all had a wonderful time at our Christmas Party. They thoroughly enjoyed dancing, playing games and eating their party food. Mr Pearson did a magnificent job as always – many thanks to him! We wish you all a very happy Christmas!
As part of our History topic, Year 2 have been learning about The Jarrow Crusade. We went outside to experience marching with a banner, whilst some children played their harmonicas to keep our spirits up!

Year 2 came to school dressed in their marvellous Christmas jumpers. Lovely to see so many different designs and listen to a variety of jingles! In addition to this, our day was made all the better, as we also had our Christmas dinner in school. Delicious!! Many thanks to all our kitchen staff for working so hard!

As part of our RE topic, the children have been learning about the signs and symbols used in Baptism. They have enjoyed bringing in their keepsakes from their special day. Here are a few!

Parents and Grandparents of Y2 children were invited into the ’20th Century Museum’ this Friday. After looking at items loaned from the Discovery Museum, the children researched an artefact in readiness to be an expert. They even wore stickers stating “Ask me. I’m an expert”. After being welcomed at the door by Sonny and Sophie, our visitors were informed about each artefact and then invited to write anything that they could remember about it. Lots of items brought back happy memories for our visitors, though the Spice Girls video (20 years old) made a lot of us feel very aged!
The feedback from our visitors was very positive and the children also have lots more information to use in their history topic.
Year 2 have been learning about Minibeast Habitats and the conditions needed for survival. As part of this, we looked at the bug hotels to see what minibeasts we could find. Most of them were hidden as it was very cold. However, we found lots of slugs and worms! We then went into the church gardens and looked around the trees where we found millipedes, beetles and spiders!
We all made sure we washed our hands afterwards!
Thank you to all who attended our Information morning. Please find attached the Powerpoint used for the presentation about Assessment.
Thank you.
The children in Reception and Key Stage 1 had a surprise visitor on Friday. After watching ‘The Polar Express’, Santa visited and gave each child a special bell, one that only those who still believe can hear. Even Mr Craig got one, because he still believes of course!
Well done to all the children in Years 1 and 2. Your performance of ‘Lights Camel Action’ was fab-u-lous and certainly not a ‘disaster’. Thank you so much to Mr Pearson for all his work with the lights and sound, and to Mrs Scott & Mrs Shaw for all their wonderful costumes! We hope you enjoyed it as much as the children enjoyed performing it. Please let us know what you thought!
