Y2 were over the moon that Hebburn town were kind enough to let us see their amazing FA Vase trophy today.
We are so excited to introduce you to our new and complete sensory room which will be ready for all children to use when we return from the latest covid lockdown.
Mrs Inkster has worked hard to ensure the space is quiet and relaxing and we can’t wait for children to experience it when we get back.
Well… that was fun!
We danced, we sang, we photoboothed, we wrapped each other in loo roll, ate lots of sweets cakes and crisps and got chocolate all over our faces trying to get it from our forehead to our mouths! Oh and then we had a snowball fight with loo roll and made snow angels.
Everyone had a fantastic time!
There are so many photos! So sit back and enjoy!
The Youth Sport Trust, who support us in our delivery are launching a brand-new initiative. From today (Thursday 12th) until the 18th December, they are running a free 30-minute online club which is available for all children and young people to participate in some sport, develop skills and of course have fun!
The club will be held every day from 5pm and it accessed through a live video on their Youtube channel. The club will be led by Athlete Mentors with different backgrounds, abilities and from different sports. The first club this evening is being delivered by Jenna Downing, the world’s number one female inline skater and ten times British Champion.
Each session will have a specific theme based on the day which will be…
Adventure Monday – this might involve getting children to do floor, wall climbing and map reading all within their living room.
Tuesday Play – imaginative play utilising resources in the house to create games and activities to get active.
Wild Wednesday – some high tempo competitive activities involving personal challenges.
Thinking Thursday – introducing cognitive challenges for children through movement. Active noughts and crosses and introducing an element of competition – whether that be against themselves, the clock, their siblings or remotely with friends.
Fun Friday – a chance for children to let loose and have some fun. Dancing and doing what makes them feel good.
As you are aware, many children and young people are currently missing out on their usual sport clubs. This is a great opportunity for them to develop skills and learn something new. It is also a great opportunity for us as providers as it gives us another opportunity to ensure children are remaining engaged and active with no real work needed.

Thank you to everyone who donated to Hebburn Helps! It is greatly appreciated and, as a school, we have managed to collect lots of supplies to help our community.
Have a lovely half term break!

We can’t go on school trips at the minute so we brought the trip to Y2!
Y2SC had a virtual visit to the Museum of London to look at the Fire Fire! Exhibition and listen to experts tell us about the Great Fire of London.
Ella was surprised to hear that the Baker’s Maid died but the others in the bakery survived because she was too scared to jump out of the window with them.
Tilly was shocked at how quickly the fire spread on Tuesday.
Khloe wondered why the houses were so close together.
We know that several parents would have normally visited our early years setting to see what we are all about. Unfortunately we can’t do that in the current climate so Mrs Hughes and I have made a little video tour for you to enjoy. It will give you an idea of our areas and a chance to meet some of the staff!
Can you help?
As the new year begins, we are making essential changes to our school Nurture Room. Our ELSA staff have been working tirelessly to create a calming, homely environment to create a safe space for our children.
We are looking for a fish tank (with equipment if possible) to help bring all areas of the space together. If you are able to help, please contact the office so we can arrange collection/drop off and quarantine time.
We are so excited for you to see our new-look Nurture Room so keep an eye out for a post in the coming weeks with all the fantastic things we have to show.
We are so excited to announce our new breakfast provision will start on Monday 14th September!!
We are so lucky to be part of the National School Breakfast Provision that ensures every child is entitled to a breakfast bagel. If you would like further information, please click here.
Taste Test Success!!
As part of the National School Breakfast Program we taste tested our brand new bagels! They went down an absolute storm as you can see in these pictures! We can’t wait to get the scheme up and running in September. Our second taste test will be Wednesday with the children in our part time bubbles!
Did you know that every child will be able to have a bagel at school in class in September?
