It is expectation that children from the school football team attend the club to practice and develop their skills ahead of the season starting again in the Spring Term.

Celebration Worship postponed

By

Good morning

I hope this update finds you all well.

We have received an email this morning from Durham County Council to inform us that they will be coming in during half term to fit the new flooring in all of the areas affected by the flood damage. This is great news but means that all of the rooms will need to be emptied so the flooring can be laid. Therefore, over the course of today and tomorrow, staff will be moving everything out of my office, the staffroom, the library and the ICT room into the school hall. This unfortunately means I have no choice but to rearrange Celebration Worship for parents tomorrow as the hall will be out of bounds.

Apologies for this, but obviously getting the school back to normal for children and staff is our priority. Celebration Worship for parents will now take place on Friday 18th November at 2:30pm.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Many thanks

Mr Appleby

Children In Need

By

As you know, we were informed on Friday our school had been contacted in error and the Rickshaw Challenge would not be passing our school.  Due to the amazing gesture from Snowdon’s Coaches we were able to get our Year 1-6 children over to the route (Seaham) to ensure they still saw the Rickshaw team pass.  What a day !

Change of plan for Pudsey

By

As you all know, on Monday 17th October we were expecting to cheer on the Rickshaw Challenge from outside of our school. Unfortunately this afternoon, we have been informed that due to human error at the Rickshaw Offices, the route is not passing us and is actually passing Easington Lane Primary School.

We were absolutely devastated to hear this news today as we know all of our children were so excited to be visited by Pudsey and see the Rickshaw. We were adamant our children would not be disappointed and we have arranged to view the Rickshaw Challenge convoy on part of its route through Seaham. With the amazing help from Snowdons Coaches, we have been able to organise transportation for our Year 1 – Year 6 children and staff.  We cannot express how grateful we are for their kindness and generosity.

Unfortunately, at this time we do not feel it is appropriate to take the Reception children to this event, in these circumstances.  Our Reception children will be fully immersed in our Children in Need celebrations in school and we are also working hard to secure a special visitor.

ALL children are still invited to dress up on Monday.

YEAR 1-6 PARENTS – please could you text back YES to the message you have received with this link if you are happy for your child to attend.  We hold consent forms for all children to attend educational visits and we will be travelling to and from Seaham in a coach.

 

 

Children In Need Rickshaw Challenge

By

Monday 17th October – NEW TIME 12.45pm

As you may remember, we have been invited to support the Children in Need Rickshaw Challenge as it passes our school on Monday 17th October.  We have been informed that it will now pass around 12.45pm rather than 2.20pm as originally planned.

We intend to have an early lunch for the children that day to allow us to be outside waiting from around 12.30pm.  There is a tracker we can access to get a more accurate time on the day.  We hope families will join us in supporting the riders from the roadside in front of our school and we will keep up updated regarding their expected arrival time via Teachers2parents on the day.

We would love for the children to dress up on Monday to support this fantastic cause  😊 Some ideas are:

  • Go spotty! Come into school wearing anything spot-related
  • Wear yellow
  • Be a Super-hero
  • Wear pyjamas

Don’t forget children will need to bring a coat too as we will be standing outside for a while.

We have created an event on ParentPay, so if you would like to donate to this cause, you can online by accessing your ParentPay account.  We will also have collection buckets on the day if children want to drop coins in there.

We hope to see families there on the day to give a big Easington C of E welcome as Matt Baker and the riders pass our school.  We will be working on bunting, posters and huge banners for the children to hold as the Rickshaw passes.  Pusdsey pictures have been sent home this week if you would like to colour them in to wave on the day.

We are so excited that our children will get to see this amazing sight and you never know, we may even feature in the documentary, The Great Rickshaw Relay, which will air on BBC1 on 15th November at 8pm.

Thank you as always for your support and we can’t wait to show everyone just how special our children are 😊

My very best wishes as always,

Mrs Bowden-Stoker

Reading For Pleasure

By

This afternoon we had a move around! As part of our Reading For Pleasure initiative, teachers moved around school and read a story of their choice to a different class. The children loved having a Guest Reader in their class and it was great for teachers to work with other children in school 😊📚
Happy, Healthy and Fulfilled…

What a fantastic morning taking part in the Cross Country competition. All of the children ran their hearts out and tried so hard. A special mention to our Y5/6 girls team (Olivia, Esme, Jasmine and Tamzin) who finished an amazing second overall and will now go on to represent the County! Also a special mention to Olivia who won the Y5/6 girls race out of approximately 100 children! Simply amazing. Well done to all of our wonderful children who took part this morning. Happy, Healthy and Fulfilled 😊
