Huge congratulations to our Times Tables Rock Stars Leaderboard front-runners in Key Stage Two this term. Their efforts at home and in school to be the best they can be in all-things multiplying and dividing has been nothing short of amazing! Mental maths is such an important part of our journey in mathematics in school and regular practice a few times each week can make a significant difference to confidence, progress and attainment. Well done everyone and keep up the good work after Easter!
Reverend Ian from St Johns Church joined us for our Easter Celebration assembly. We looked at the Easter Story and how sometimes the impossible can happen. Easter is a sign of new life and new hope and that we should rejoice in the lessons Jesus taught us.
Happy Easter!
Last week’s attendance was amazing!

Dear Parent/Carer,
RE:Whatsapp group encouraging self-harm in young people
We have been alerted by Northumbria Police to a worrying WhatsApp group / trend called “everyone you know x”. The content and language are not age appropriate and encourages young people to self-harm on a points-based syatem, with reference to suicide.
The group orginated in North Tyneside but now appears to be growing and circulating in wider areas of the North East. It is currently aimed at Year 6 students but is likley to start affecting other year groups. There are already 500+ members in the group, many of whom have been added to the group without their consent, by a third party because their social media settings are not secure enough. To date 3 young people have been hospitalised as a result of actions within this group.
We urge you to check your children’s phones to ensure that they are not subject to this group and ask you to make sure their privacy settings are secure. We regularly remind our pupils of this in school and will be sending out another reminder.
The NSPCC website has information about helping children who may have been affected by such content including; promoting self-harm, suicide, and eating disorders.
If you require any further information or support regarding keeping your child safe on line please speak to a member of staff or access the following website:

Year 5 have thoroughly enjoyed World Book day today, based on the famous author Roald Dahl!
We are blown away by the effort and creativity of the costumes and characters that our children have chosen to be this year, from the BFG, Matilda, Miss Trunchbull, Charlie Bucket, Willy Wonka and more!
We have spent the day doing lots of wonderful book related activities, especially reading (George’s Marvelous Medicine). Year 5 even created their own revolting recipes and mixed up a special concoction that had us “fizzing” with excitement.
We have hunted down Golden Tickets, went on a trail for book covers, played a class quiz and spent our afternoon trawling through Mr Twits’ disgusting spaghetti.
We cannot wait for next year already!
