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.

We are looking forward to our Gunpowder Plot themed Super Learning Day, 'Newburn Goes Bang' when as well as learning more about the historical shenanigans, Technology Tom will be visiting us to host some fascinating Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) workshops.  Children are invited to attend school dressed up as children from 1605 - the year conspirators plotted to blow up the Houses of Parliament!

A Halloween disco will be held on Monday, 31 October, 4.00 - 5.30 pm for pupils from this school.  Children are welcome to dress up although we request that they don't wear masks please.  The cost is £3.00 per child and refreshments are included.

The school catering team would like to invite all the children to join them for dinner on their special 'Best of British' days in November:

Wednesday, 2 November 2016 - Roast Beef with all the Trimmings

Tuesday, 8 November 2016 - Bangers and Mash

All children who have a school meal will be offered these options and those who bring a packed lunch are welcome to join us. The price of each meal is £2.00 and includes a dessert option.  Please let us know in advance if your child usually has a packed lunch but would like to have a school dinner on either or both of these days.
