Today we have come to school dressed up as our favorite book characters. Thank you to all children, parents and staff for making such a fantastic effort with the costumes.I’m sure you’ll agree, everyone looks wonderful.
We have been talking about people who help us at Nursery. Police Officer Dan came to visit us at Nursery today. He brought his patrol car and we were able to explore inside and pretended to drive and turned on the blue flashing lights. PC Dan also brought along some police uniform. We tried on different police hats and clothing.







Last week children brought home a battery collection box as our school are taking part in the big battery recycling programme.
We are all so impressed with the effort the children have made.
This week Penny Whyte surprised us all by managing to collect a massive 1816 batteries from family, friends and local businesses. Penny has really got behind this challenge and as a school we are all very proud of her efforts. Well done Penny!

Take a look at our latest hot chocolate Friday.
These children were chosen to have hot chocolate with the Head Teacher for following school rules and going above and beyond. Well done!
Early Words Together
Children and parents from Reception and Nursery have worked together to complete a program from The Literacy Trust. Early Words together emphasizes the importance of stories, communication, language and interaction between parents and children.
We have fully immersed ourselves in stories by making puppets, writing shopping lists and letters, we celebrated a birthday for Lettice the Rabbit, we followed instructions to make sandwiches and even danced in our underpants!
We have had great fun together.
We have visited our local library to further enhance our love of stories and reading.



Jamie has made a great start to our battery recycling challenge ‘The Big Battery Hunt’. He brought in a whole jar of batteries that he had collected with his Grandad. Well done Jamie!
Please keep bringing your old batteries into school.

The Nursery went on a Bear Hunt to Boldon Lodge. We went swishy swashy through the ribbons, splash splosh through the puddle and squelch squelch through the mud. We found the bear!
We enjoyed hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows around the campfire.
Our behavior strategy encourages pupils to be respectful citizens and learn skills for life. We expect children to follow our 3 school rules consistently.
Stay Safe
Achieve
See good things in ourselves and others
We have recently introduced a new initiative ‘ Hot Chocolate Friday’.
Pupils who not only follow the rules but go over and above; they do that little bit more, will be invited to have hot chocolate with the Head Teacher.
Take a look at the photo of the pupils who should be especially proud of their efforts this month. Keep up the good work!
