The next meeting of the newly formed Parents, Teachers and Friends Association (PTFA) will take place at school from 2.00 pm until 3.00 pm. Please consider joining us if you are able to - new members are always welcome.

On Thursday, 17 November 2016 we will be having a 'Big Spotacular' Non-Uniform Day to help raise funds for the BBC Children in Need Appeal.  Children are invited to wear their own choice of clothes instead of school uniform - they might even wish to wear something spotty to fit in with the theme!  We would be grateful if children could please bring in a small monetary donation to help support this worthy charity.

This morning, on Armistice Day, everyone in school respectfully observed the Two Minutes Silence to the memory of the fallen.

Parents/carers of children in Reception class are invited to join us for our Celebration Assembly on Friday, 11 November 2016, 10.15 am, as we celebrate this week's achievements of children in school.

Our Christmas Fair will be held on Tuesday, 6 December 2016. As in previous years, we will be holding a non-uniform day to generate small prizes from parents for the tombola stall.  However, we would be delighted to hear from anyone with connections to local businesses that may be willing to donate a prize for our raffle.  Usually, we approach businesses ourselves to ask for help. However, this year we thought we would also call upon parents who may already have good business contacts and ask for their help in seeking support for the school.  Please contact us if you know of any business, organisation, or indeed any individual, who may feel able to help us in this way. We would, of course, be happy to acknowledge publically any donations given.

We are hosting an open morning on Wednesday, 9 November 2016, 9.15 am - 10.30 am.  If you are interested in applying for a place for your child to start Reception class in September 2017 please come along to find out more about our lovely school.

The children all had a magnificent time on Friday during our Super Learning Day ’Newburn Goes Bang!'. The theme of the day was the Gunpowder Plot and various activities took place throughout the day.  The children not only learnt more about the history of the period but also took part in some amazing Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) activities hosted by our special visitor, Technology Tom.  Please chat to your children about some of the fabulous things they did and visit their class pages to find out more.  We were delighted when a lot of the children chose to dress up for the day and we are grateful to parents for helping them to prepare costumes.  We really do value your support.

Many thanks to our PTFA, DJ 'Count' Thoburn and everyone who supported our recent Halloween Disco.  A super time was had by all!  Please take a look at our photos.
