Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections. People thrive in communities, and this connection is vital for our wellbeing. When we have healthy connections – to family, friends and others – this can support our mental health and our sense of wellbeing.
During the week, we’ll have a special assembly from Bluejay wellness and we will be having a particular focus on connecting with each other during house meetings that week.
The junior children peformed wonderfully in their Christmas Carol Concert at St. Bede’s Church. They sang a selection of Christmas carols and told of the Nativity.
Thank you to everyone who made a donation to Children in Need on Friday. We raised a fantastic £232! A special thank you and well done to the School Council and Year 6 children who hosted a cake sale on Friday lunchtime.
The junior children had a frightfully exciting night at the Monster Ball on Tuesday!
Our children enjoyed a two-night residential at Robinwood. They were very well-behaved and showed great determination and resilience throughout the activities. We hope they had as much fun as the staff did!
The children in Year 5 and 6 enjoyed an afternoon with some Newcastle Eagles players this week.
The roadshow concentrated on health messages such as mental and social well-being, how to stay fit and look after the heart and lungs, stay hydrated with tap water and eating a balanced diet. The children also had the opportunity to play some basketball with the Eagles players!
The children were fantastic at answering the players’ questions and taking part in the activities.
Well done everyone!
