• Family Picnic THANK YOU

  Thu 27 Jun 2024 Headteacher

  Last night’s family picnic on the field was an incredible success, and I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who attended. The sense of community spirit was palpable, and it was great to see everyone enjoying themselves in the beautiful sunshine.

   

  A Special Shout-Out to Our Amazing Staff I’d like to extend a special thank you to our dedicated staff. Their unwavering support and enthusiasm made this event possible. Many of them graciously agreed to come back to work in the evening, ensuring that our family picnic was a memorable experience for all. Their commitment to our school community is truly commendable.

   

  Appreciation Overflowing We’ve received numerous emails from parents expressing their thanks and gratitude. Your kind words mean the world to us. It’s heartwarming to know that our efforts are appreciated, and it motivates our team to continue creating meaningful experiences for our students and families.

   

  Together, We Make a Difference Remember, it’s not just about the picnic—it’s about the bonds we share, the memories we create, and the sense of belonging that defines our school community. When our team feels appreciated, it fuels their passion to go above and beyond.

   

  Thank you once again for being part of our wonderful school family. Let’s continue to celebrate these moments together!

• Wheelie Wednesday

  Thu 27 Jun 2024

  During today’s assembly, I had the pleasure of sharing some exciting news with the children. As we approach the end of term, we’ve decided to re- introduce “Wheelie Wednesdays”!

  What is Wheelie Wednesday? On the next three Wednesdays, the outside perimeter of the  school field will will be used as a track for bikes (and scooters). During lunch and playtime, children will have the opportunity to ride their bikes (or scooters outdoors, weather permitting).

  .

  Safety First: Helmets Required To ensure the safety of all participants, we insist that any child using their bike (or scooter) wears an appropriate safety helmet. Safety is our top priority, and we appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

• Sponsored FUN RUN

  Mon 24 Jun 2024 HEADTEACHER

  Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who supported our sponsored fun run last Thursday! The weather was absolutely amazing, and it was FANTASTIC to see the children running around the school field with such enthusiasm. Together, we raised an impressive £1,990 which will go towards enhancing our school resources to better support those with additional needs.

   

  Now, let’s talk about our talented runners. 🌟 Some of our children have shown exceptional potential, and I’d like to remind you about a local running club whose details I shared with you a little while ago. You can find more by visiting www.teamblyth.com 

   

  They offer opportunities to train and compete in a focuses and welcoming way. There sessions take place on Mondays and Fridays at Whitley Bay. They could nurture their abilities even further. . 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ In addition please remember the Junior Park Runs - one of which takes place in Blyth.

   

  Who knows? We might even have an Olympian among us! 🥇🌟 If any of your children are interested, I encourage you to explore further.

   

  Thank you once again for your incredible support. Let’s keep those running shoes laced up and dreams soaring!
