Harvest Festival

We performed this fabulous song for our parents and carers during the Harvest Festival this week. 

Year 3 had a brilliant time visiting the Great North Museum! We became fossil investigators during our workshop, looking carefully at different fossils and learning more about them. We then explored the museum, discovering amazing artefacts from the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. It was a fun-filled day of exploring, discovering and learning!

Pupil of the week 02.10.2026

Sofia and Oladoyin are this weeks superstars. Oladoyin's writing has really impressed us. She has been using her success criteria well and refining her writing. Sofia has produced beautifully presented work since joining year 3 and is a fabulous role model. Well done girls!

We had a brilliant visit from a cricket coach! The children practised their cricket skills, learnt new techniques and had lots of fun working together. It was a fantastic opportunity to develop our skills and enjoy being active.

Well done to Tommy and Angela on becoming Year 3's very first Pupils of the Week! We are so proud of your hard work, positive attitude and excellent effort. Keep it up!

During Art Week, the children explored the work of local artist Charlie Rogers. We were delighted to welcome Brian Ratkin, who visited our school to share his knowledge and insights into Charlie Rogers’ life and artistic style.

Inspired by Charlie Rogers’ distinctive artwork of Saltwell Park, the children carefully studied his use of line, detail, and perspective before creating their own sketches in a similar style. They also developed their observational drawing skills through detailed studies of the school’s outdoor environment, closely observing shape, texture, and form.

Through creativity, experimentation, and careful observation, the children produced a range of outstanding artwork that reflects both their artistic development and their appreciation of the local landscape.
