4.3.21 Happy World Book Day to you all!
Today is extra special because we are celebrating our love of books with children all over the world. We would have loved for you all to be in school with us, so instead, we are bringing World Book Day celebrations to you.
Did you hear Mrs Douglas on BBC Newcastle Radio this morning? She was talking about what World Book Day is like this year in school and at home! Have a listen here!
Have you heard the first ever World Book day song by MC Grammar?? How many stories can you spot in the song?
We have put together a collection of videos of staff from across the school sharing their favourite books. Get yourselves snuggled up, relax and choose a staff member to read you a story from the comfort of your own home. You could even listen to your teacher reading you a bedtime story.
It won’t be long until you are back in school and enjoying story time in class with your friends. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy sharing some of our favourite stories at home.
Have a great World Book Day!
Our Year 1 and Year 2 children didn’t want to miss out on the fun either! Here are their Christmas messages for their families.
Year 2 received letters from the Year 2 children at Harton Primary School telling them what they enjoyed doing at school and asking them questions about what our school is like. Here is a photo of year 2 reading their letters. They then wrote a reply letter.
On Thursday 6th June all of Year 2 visited Washington Wetland Centre. As part of their Habitats topic in science they took part in three lead activities. They enjoyed pond dipping, a mini beast hunt and a map work session looking at world habitats and adaptions of the creatures living there.They had talks on otters and flamingos. They then had free time to visit the mini beast garden, the duckery, hide and of course the play park. A great time was had by all.
Every child from reception to Y6 will have the opportunity to take part in our annual egg competition. Eggs will be designed and made in school.
This is a fun activity, which the children thoroughly enjoy. Thank you for your support.

Our Reception children enjoyed a visit from the school Dental Nurses this week to highlight how important it is to clean their teeth and how to keep their mouths healthy.
They really enjoyed the question and answer time and hands on experience with the dental equipment.
A fantastic party was had by Reception children and staff yesterday. Here are a few pictures.
As part of their history topic on The Victorians, Year 2 created a toy museum for Year 3 children to come and visit.
