Peter Rabbit: Tales on the Tyne is a free, family-friendly art trail taking place across Newcastle and North Tyneside from 15 July to 14 September. 43 big and 53 little Peter Rabbit sculptures will be located in parks, streets and public buildings – and one of the sculptures was designed by our talented young people! The trail is raising funds for St Oswald’s Hospice and looks set to be a great free family activity for the holidays.
Year 2 had so much fun at St Mary’s Lighthouse. We created art using a range of natural materials on the beach. Next, we observed the seals soaking up the sun and having a little swim. Then we climbed all of the 137 steps to reach the top of the lighthouse for an amazing view. Finally, we explored the rock pools and identified different sea creatures.
Before the Easter holidays, Year 1 were very excited to welcome our parents into school to help us decorate our eggs.
We had a fantastic time and created some amazing entries. Thank you to all the grown ups who came to help us.
Our Nursery children have been absolutely loving taking part in our supervised toothbrushing sessions!
Each day, the children enjoy brushing their teeth and developing important lifelong habits to keep their teeth healthy.
Through these sessions the children are:
Building independence in their daily routines.
Learning about the importance of oral health.
Having fun while practising a key life skill.
It’s been wonderful to see them enjoying these sessions with lots of big smiles and enthusiasm each time!
Thank you for your continued support in helping us promote healthy habits both in Nursery and at home.
We had a wonderful time at our Easter Stay & Play session! The children loved getting creative with their grown-ups and decorating their eggs.
Thank you for coming along!
ming along and we hope you had as much fun as we did! 🐰
We are so impressed with the work that the children have produced while looking at the story Traction Man. They tried really hard to use lots of adjectives when describing to make their work super interesting.
Check out some of our amazing work!
So much fun was had celebrating Children in Need in Year 1. We loved the Pudsey biscuit- it was delicious! We can’t believe it was a week ago! Thank you for your kind donations.
The School Council were excited to go on their first trip to our local foodbank, Key to Life.
After a behind the scenes tour, the children quickly got to work. They worked as a team to unpack of our Canny Friday donations before carefully sorting them into boxes and labelling them with their ‘best before dates’. This will help the team of foodbank volunteers tremendously when making food parcels for those in need.
The children asked staff a range of carefully thought out questions and were astounded to learn that the foodbank helps at least 90 children a week. The children returned to school full of ideas as to how else they might help others in our local community.
On Monday to start off our Anti-Bullying Week, Year 2 were lucky enough to take part in a wonderful workshop with Matt from Big Foot Arts Education. The workshop explored different scenarios that children might encounter with their peers and through drama and action they explored different ways to help each other. This was a lovely way to help the children celebrate who they are, be kind to others and speak up with confidence.
