We hope everyone has a wonderful, colourful Friday! π
A quick reminder that our transition days will take place next week from Tuesday to Thursday. During these three days, children will spend time with their new class and teacher ready for September. π
There will be no changes to drop-off or collection arrangements for children in Reception to Year 6. All children should arrive and be collected from their current classroom as normal, as they will start and finish each day with their current teacher.
Children who normally swim will still swim on their usual day, so please send them with their swimming kit as normal. π
We hope the children enjoy getting to know their new classes and are excited for the year ahead! π 6 Likes
We had even more fantastic news to celebrate today! π
Some of our Reception children have had their artwork selected to be published in a Young Writers book, making them officially published illustrators! π¨π
We also have some of our older children who have been successful in the Young Writers poetry competition and will soon see their poems published. βοΈβ¨
We are incredibly proud of everyone involved. To have work chosen for publication is a wonderful achievement, and it's fantastic to see so much creativity being recognised across the school. Congratulations to all of our published illustrators and poets! ππ 8 Likes
In assembly today, we were delighted to present gifts to Amber and Matthew after they were chosen as winners of a colouring challenge set by a visiting nurse. π₯π
As part of their learning about people who help us, our Nursery and Reception children were challenged to create an NHS-themed picture after finding out what it is like to be a nurse.
Amber's winning picture is now on display in Stanley Primary Care Centre, while Matthew's is being displayed in Chester-le-Street Primary Care Centre. πΌοΈπ
We are also incredibly proud that all of the other Nursery and Reception entries are being displayed at Glenroyd House in Consett.
Well done to Amber and Matthew, and to all of our Early Years children for their fantastic artwork! π 10 Likes

What a lovely morning at our Colour Run! π
It was amazing to see all of the children having fun together, laughing, running and getting covered in colour. The atmosphere was fantastic from start to finish, with everyone throwing themselves into the event and making the most of the morning. π
A huge thank you to the School Sports Partnership for organising such a brilliant activity. The children were an absolute credit to the school and looked spectacular by the end! πβ¨
