On behalf of our whole school community, we would like to wish our amazing Year 6 children the best of luck as they sit their SATs next week. The children have worked incredibly hard and we could not be any prouder of them. A big thank you to Mrs Appleby for all of her hard work, time and dedication in preparing the children in the best way possible. Believe in yourselves because we all believe in you.
A big thank you to everyone who attended Family Friday today – 6th May. As always, it was great to see families joining us in school and working alongside their children. The atmosphere in school was truly special and we look forward to seeing you on our next Family Friday which will take place on 10th June. Some of our Year 6 children delivered Random Acts of Kindness. What a lovely way to start the day!
To mark the Queen’s Jubilee, we will be holding a fantastic celebration for our children on the afternoon of Friday 27th May. We feel it is important that the children realise the significance of this historical event, whilst also having fun and creating memories.
We have a number of exciting activities taking place to make the afternoon memorable for our wonderful children.
On the day, children can come into school in non-uniform (wearing red/white/blue if possible). The celebration will begin with the whole school coming together on the school field to enjoy a picnic lunch. Therefore, children can bring their own packed lunch or order a school packed lunch by completing the attached form and returning it to school by Monday 16th May. If we do not receive a form, we will assume your child is bringing their own packed lunch from home. As it is a special day, I am willing to relax our packed lunch rules and allow children to bring some eats and treats (within moderation!) to enjoy.
We are sure the children will have a fun and enjoyable afternoon and we feel this will be a lovely way to end what has been another fantastic half term in school. We will ensure to take lots of photographs which parents will be able to see on our website, newsletter and school Facebook page.
My very best wishes,
Mr Appleby
This week, three of our oldest children surprised staff members with a Random Act of Kindness. As always, their response was ‘that’s made my day!’
A huge well done to our Year 6 children who attended the School Sports Partnership Basketball Competition held at East Durham College on Thursday 17th March. They came first out of the eight teams taking part. Next week, another ten schools compete. We will then play the winner of that group in the final. Mrs Scarr said the children were absolutely awesome and all played fantastically well. We are all so excited and will let you know the final result. Keep your fingers crossed!
It was fantastic to see so many families at our first Family Friday of the year. Thank you for attending and we hope you enjoyed your morning in class with the children. We even managed to fit in some Random Acts of Kindness from children in Ms Lilley’s class. What a lovely start to the day !
Our next Family Friday will take place on 1st April. We can’t wait to see you there.
A big thank you to our whole school community for generously donating so many items to support Ukraine during this terrible time. A special thanks to Mrs Osborne and Mrs Diston for their amazing support.
Mrs Osborne said “I just wanted to say a big thank you to the families and staff who have donated to the collection for the Ukraine. I’m sure those who receive the things we have sent with love will be very grateful. Thank you.”
Thank you to all of our amazing children who completed Mr Appleby’s Homework Project. They we simply fantastic! Thank you to everyone who joined us at our Homework Presentation Afternoon.
