Families are invited to decorate a hard-boiled egg together at home.

 

Entries should be brought in to school on the morning of Thursday 7 April 2022, ready for the judging to commence! They can be as creative and as elaborate as you like! We can't wait to see them.

Please ensure that your child's name and class are displayed on the underside of the egg.

Spring has sprung and SPLAT’s Easter Raffle is here!!  Here are just some of the prizes up for grabs.  Keep a look out for the launch information next week.

It is an absolute pleasure to welcome Liz Million (Children’s Author/Illustrator) in to school today to work with all children across school.  The children have been mesmerised and inspired in her workshops so far today, and they have created some amazing illustrations of their own!  Look out on Facebook for some photos of the sessions throughout the day. I’m sure the children will tell you all about it when they get home this afternoon!

We will soon be launching the Rainbow Flag Award in school and have some very exciting plans to represent the bright colours of the rainbow flag across school to raise awareness of positive LGBTQ+ inclusion and visibility.

Red Nose Day is taking place on Friday 18 March 2022.  As always, all contributions raised for Red Nose Day help people live free from poverty, violence and discrimination.   This year, Comic Relief will also be funding organisations that are supporting people right now in Ukraine, and those attempting to cross the border. 

 

With this in mind, children are welcome to come to school on Friday 18 March dressed as either a super hero, or in blue and yellow clothing to represent our support and solidarity for Ukraine.

 

Every child in school will receive a red nose on the morning of Friday 18 March so that everyone is the same. With this in mind, we would be grateful of a contribution towards Comic Relief who are directly supporting the Ukrainian appeal, in line with what you can afford.   Please note that red noses are retailing at £1.50 each.  Together we have the power to change lives.

Team SPLAT are hosting are an informal chat in school on Wednesday morning at 9.00am to discuss Mother’s Day and Easter activities, as well as future fundraising ideas.  All are welcome to attend, so feel free to call in for a cuppa and a chat.  The more the merrier!

SPLAT have provided us with an update on their fundraising efforts which is absolutely fantastic!  Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far and for your continued support.

 

Watch out for some Easter fundraising activities with the ‘egg-cellent’ prizes up for grabs!

I’m sure, like us, you have been shocked, moved and deeply saddened the news reports coming from Ukraine and neighbouring countries as people move to find a place of safety.

 

Morrison’s, Blaydon are our local collection point and have made the following appeal for items of humanitarian aid to be sent to the Ukraine:

 

‘Sleeping bags, pillows, baskets, duvets, children's clothes, (new) underwear for women and children, baby bottles, dummies, baby food in Jars, formula, nappies, baby wipes and creams, toiletries and hygiene products, and if we can colouring books and crayons - anything like this for children as they have nothing to play with. Also first AID items ie. bandages, antiseptic creams’

 

Morrison’s are collecting items until 12 March, so if any of our families feel able to contribute you are welcome to drop them off at Morrisons directly, or drop them in at school.  Anything that is brought in to school next week will be taken down to Morrisons by staff and parent volunteers on Friday afternoon next week.
