Thank you so much to our wonderful school community for the amazing food donations.
The student council organised the food and we took it to Hebburn Helps to be distributed to families in need.
Today our children welcomed Ms Comerford, founder of Hebburn Helps, to speak in our school assembly. Ms Comerford thanked the children for choosing Hebburn Helps to receive all of the recent Harvest Festival donations.
Ms Comerford told the children all about the people that Hebburn Helps support. Demonstrating great citizenship the children have decided to launch an appeal to collect blankets and hot water bottles to be given to the elderly people in our community to keep them warm this winter.
Our marvelous student council representatives will lead this appeal in school.
Well done everyone!
Throughout the year, EYFS will be taking part in three ‘Exploration Sessions’ to support our understanding of the world around us and our local community. We will be supporting our knowledge of our local area with first hand experiences, noticing the features of our environment as we go.
This autumn term, our first Exploration Session was called ‘The Journey to Forest School’. We were very excited to go on our first adventure and explore our school grounds! We travelled through the red door, walked next to our outdoor area, over the big bridge, through the wild willow den, around the statue, across the path and we marched past the bushes to arrive at the huge gate!
Reception used their knowledge of their journey to Forest School to create their own maps of our immediate area.
School council welcomed parents/ carers and members of our community into school today to raise money for Macmillan.
The student councillors organised the cake donations, set up the stalls and worked hard serving our guests, supported by our wonderful parent champion volunteers.
Thank you to everyone who supported this amazing charity event.
We are proud to launch our pre-loved uniform, available free to collect from Primrose CA.

We welcomed our wonderful reception parents/carers into school this week for a special storytime workshop. Mrs Flynn shared information about how we support children in reception with phonics and early reading/writing. Ideas were shared with parents/carers about how they can support their children at home. Our reception children then joined us to explore some of these interactive learning opportunities with their special adults. We loved having the opportunity to share our learning in school, and want to thank all of our fantastic parents/
Today Year 3 student councillors acted as ambassadors for our school when they attended South Tyneside Council Healthy Schools Ceremony to collect our award.
