• Our jars were on TV for Children in Need on Friday 16th November

  Tue 13 Nov 2012
  Children in Need in our region came from Alnwick Garden on Friday 16th November 2012. Our school was asked to decorate jars so the Alnwick Garden can put tea lights inside them and create a spectacular display on the cascades. These were the opening shots of the BBC coverage from our region. The children from Class 3 all brought jars into school and have spent time decorating them with glass paint with the Children in Need logos and plenty spots! Our jars will join jars from other schools in the region to make a large display.

  

• New Winter lunch menus

  Wed 24 Oct 2012
  From 5th November 2012 we will change to our Winter Menu (can be viewed or downloaded at the bottom of the Latest News Page).

The menus are worked  over a three week period starting with week 1, then 2 and 3. The fourth week we go back to week 1 again.

• Whole School Pea Hunt

  Mon 22 Oct 2012
  On the afternoon of Friday 7th September we had a whole school pea hunt. We invited the nursery children from Busy Bees to join in. Dried peas were sprinkled on our field and the children each had a bag to collect as many as possible.
  On Monday 10th September the children from Class 3 counted and recorded the amount of peas collected by each child. Class 3 produced graphs and found the child who had collected the most from each year group.
  The winners were all given a book as a prize at our celebration assembly on Friday 14th September

  Wed 26 Sep 2012
  On Wednesday 26th September 2012 Class 3 spent the day at Rosie's Farm at Newham. They had a wonderful time looking at the blossoming hedgerows and the trees as they turn and change colour in Autumn. Once again Rosie was a tremendous host who always finds us something different to look at each time we go.

  On Thursday 19th July we held a piano concert for parents in our Activity Room. All the children who have taken piano lessons with Mrs Thorburn over the year had practiced their best pieces and performed them in front of a packed room of parents.
  All the children received a medal and a certificate at the end and everyone stayed for tea and cakes. It was a lovely morning.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  

• Bamburgh Torch Day Scarecrow Winners

  Thu 14 Jun 2012
  The Olympic torch travelled through Bamburgh on 14th June. We all spent the day in Bamburgh taking part in sports and receiving medals from Brendan Foster. There was a display of torches from all of the other Olympics in the church and the helicopter came really low to see us.
  The organising committee ran a scarecrow competition with a theme of Olympic Athletes. We entered three scarecrows, one from each class and we were delighted when our school won the trophy for the best entry from a school.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  

• Saudi Arabian Directors' of Education Visit

  Tue 15 May 2012
  Today we played host to a group of Saudi Arabian Directors of Education. They came here to learn about how English Schools work and to get ideas to help the reform of schools in Saudi Arabia. They loved our school, they looked at the displays, the furniture, how we work and the buildings and grounds. They had a talk given by Mrs Ayden and they went for lunch to the Bamburgh Castle Inn. It was a stormy day on the sea and they said they had never seen a sea that angry before. At the end our Year 4 children asked them some questions.
