Careers Fair Day

1st October 2019Mrs K Singer

On Tuesday 1st October we opened our doors to a range of local businesses as part of a mini careers fair for the children.  Our whole school topic this term is ‘How to be a ….’ and the children are learning about a range of different jobs and careers, ways in to work and what having a job really means.

The children loved having the chance to meet and talk to different people, and were able to ‘have a go’ at the various instruments used in their workplace. We had representatives from Alnwick Garden, Northumberland National Parks, Landmark, as well as a civil engineer, farmer, pharmacist,  joiner, florist, fireman, marine conservationist and many more.

‘What a fantastic idea to introduce the children to such a diverse range of career possibilities. Even at such a young age they can begin to dream about their futures, and it was really rewarding for me to be part of that’, Kirsty McKay, local author of children’s books.

Miss Flora Cann, Assistant Head Teacher, ‘Children were heard asking in depth questions, how many hours a day do you work? How much do you get paid? What is the worst part of the job? How did you become an author?’ and we really feel it has given them an insight into the world of work and a knowledge of a range of different jobs and careers available. Thank you to everyone who attended and made this possible for us to run’.

To complete our Righteous Royal topic we celebrated with a royal party. Mrs Muir made us a royal tea party lunch with finger sandwiches, pastries and cakes. In the afternoon we listened to our year 4 ‘leader’ speeches and enjoyed our country dancing that we had practiced with Mrs Beale, whilst having some Victoria sponge cake made by Adventurers.

Mothers Day Lunch

28th March 2019Mrs K Singer

Thank you to all the mum’s, grandma’s and Auntie’s that attended our Mother’s Day Lunch on Thursday. The children enjoyed choosing their Mother’s Day gift from the Friends boutique and wrapping it with our volunteers. Thank you everyone!

Castles Trip

25th March 2019Mrs K Singer

On Monday 25th March we had a school trip to Lindisfarne Castle, Bamburgh and Alnwick Castle view point.  The children loved climbing up the steep hill and steps to Lindisfarne Castle and were blown away by the stunning views from the top.  They enjoyed exploring inside the castle – looking at all the bedrooms and the old kitchen and scullery.  We then headed back along the causeway to Bamburgh and enjoyed a lovely lunch sitting below the castle.  The children instantly commented on the difference in size between Lindisfarne Castle and Bamburgh Castle.  After a quick play in the lovely park and a walk on the beach we headed back to the bus.  Our final stop was at the Alnwick Castle viewing lay-by.  The children enjoyed sitting on the fence taking in the view of the imposing castle.  

World Book Day

7th March 2019Mrs K Singer
