Staffing
We are delighted to welcome Claire Lancaster to the staff team from
Tuesday 12th March. Claire will be working across the school as a teaching assistant most afternoons supporting small groups of children in addition to running our after school club on a Wednesday and Thursday evening.
Mrs Cornforth is reducing her after school club hours as her hours in school time have increased recently.
World Book day
World Book day is fast approaching. This year, we are asking children to bring in their most favourite book to share and a prop that represents this book to them. The children will be taking part in a very special hidden book reveal and story time and will then have time to do their own mystery book reveal where they use their props and clues to guess each others books, with time to share and enjoys these afterwards.
Nursery Parents
Please note that Forest School sessions are on a Wednesday afternoon. Please send your child with a set of warm clothes, waterproofs and wellies. We are very excited to be down into the forest again!
Message from friends.
Just a quick reminder that there is a friends meeting tonight at
7.30pm in
The Bruce, West Tanfield. Everyone is welcome to come along find out a bit about what we do for the children at school, share any ideas people may have for fundraising/future events and enjoy a lovely social evening!

Online Gaming - Roblox
Online gaming can be great fun for our children and we teach widely in school about how to be safe when playing online. A game we know many of our children (across the school) enjoy is Roblox. This site can be suitable for wide age-range but needs to be managed carefully with support from adults at home. Please see the following website for specific information and advice to support you at home:
