Mental Health Awareness Week 2023

15th May 2023N Fada

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. It’s a chance to think about our mental health and what we can do to protect it.

The place where we go to for comfort and to feel calm is very important as it often helps us to feel better when we are experiencing worries.

Where is your ‘happy place?’ At the beach listening to the waves, walking in the woods, cooking something delicious, spending time with your family, walking the dog?

We would love you to send us some photographs throughout this week showing us the places that make you and your child feel happy and calm.

Shaun the Sheep on the Tyne Assembly

27th April 2023Hayley Tampin

Today we welcomed Karen from St Oswald’s Hospice for a special ‘Shaun the Sheep on the Tyne’ assembly.

Karen talked to us about the fantastic work the hospice do and the wonderful care they provide for children and adults with complex disabilities.

Some of you may remember the amazing Snowdog and Elmer art trails… This year’s trail will bring a flock of beautifully decorated Shaun the Sheep sculptures to the North East. The learning programme has been sponsored by Northumbrian Water.

The school council and eco-warriors have worked hard over the last few weeks, collecting ideas from their classmates and coming up with our very own Shaun design. Our next job is to begin the painting process and to bring their design to life!

The trail begins on 19th July 2023 and will run throughout the summer holidays, ending on 27th September.

A very special delivery to Reception!

24th April 2023K Richardson

Last week we had a very special delivery of 10 eggs, so far 9 of them have hatched, 1 boy and 8 girls. The children have loved watching them hatch and are really enjoying learning about the life cycle. 🥚 🐣 🐤 on Friday we held them. The children were amazing, so gentle and kind. They were able to tell us how to carefully look after them, how we keep them safe and what they need to stay healthy. They also discussed why their feathers are so soft and fluffy. 🐥👏🏻⭐️🐥👏🏻⭐️
