Year 2's Magical Trip to Belsay Hall! 🌿🏰
Last week, Year 2 had an unforgettable adventure at Belsay Hall! We explored the mystical castle ruins, created stunning nature art in the woods and wandered through the beautiful gardens and grand hall. 🌳🎨🏡
We also had so much fun in the playpark - whizzing down slides, swinging high and climbing with our friends! 😄🛝🌞
This trip brought our learning about The Secret Garden to life - just like Mary from the story, we discovered hidden corners, secret paths and the magic of nature all around us. 🌼📖 ... See MoreSee Less

🌞🦀 Year 4’s Sunny Adventure at St Mary’s Lighthouse! 🐚🦭
Earlier this half term, Year 4 enjoyed a wonderful day of sunshine and discovery at St Mary’s Lighthouse!
We began with a minibeast hunt in the meadows, spotting all kinds of tiny creatures 🐜🌿.
Then, using natural materials we’d gathered, the children got creative with some beautiful sand art on the beach - shells, seaweed, and stones transformed into stunning seaside masterpieces! 🎨🏖️
After lunch, we spotted seals relaxing on the rocks! 🦭 It was such a special moment to see them in their natural habitat.
Next up was rock pooling, where we found crabs, anemones and all sorts of sea life 🌊🦀.
A day full of exploration, creativity and coastal wonders. ... See MoreSee Less

🌞 Hot Weather Uniform Update – Friday 20th June 🌞
With temperatures expected to reach 27°C tomorrow, we're making a few changes to help keep everyone cool, safe, and comfortable at school.
Here's what we’re asking from families:
✅ Apply long-lasting, high-factor sunscreen before school
✅ Pack a clearly named water bottle
✅ Send a named sun hat or cap for outdoor use
🧴 Children may also bring sunscreen (named) to reapply at lunchtime if needed
👕 Children should still wear school uniform, but school shorts (mid-thigh or longer) or a summer dress are recommended for comfort.
👔 Year 5/6 children do not need to wear their ties.
💧 Children will have access to water throughout the day and we’ll be monitoring outdoor time closely – including for those on school visits.
Thanks for helping us keep our children safe and comfortable in the heat! ☀️💦 ... See MoreSee Less

Earlier this term, our Year 5 students enjoyed an exciting and educational trip to the Discovery Museum in Newcastle! 🏛️🔍
They explored the museum’s fascinating exhibits and took part in a hands-on workshop all about renewable energy. 💡🌍 Working in teams, the children designed and built their own wind turbines, learning about how we can use natural resources to power our future.
It was a brilliant day full of creativity, teamwork and science in action! ⚙️💨 Well done, Year 5! ... See MoreSee Less

Last half term, Year 4 travelled back in time for an incredible Anglo Saxon Day! We were lucky to be joined by a special Anglo Saxon from the Newcastle Castle outreach team, who led a full day of hands-on workshops.
The children had an amazing time exploring:
🔍 Real Anglo Saxon artefacts
📖 Fascinating storytelling
⚔️ Thrilling reenactments
🛠️ Creative and interactive activities
It was a fantastic way to bring history to life and deepen their understanding of the Anglo Saxon era. A big thank you to Newcastle Castle for an unforgettable experience! ... See MoreSee Less

🎶 A Special Farewell for a School Legend 🎶
After years of dedication, early starts and countless repairs, our incredible caretaker Mr Morton is retiring. He's been the heart of our school in so many quiet, meaningful ways - and we couldn't let him leave without a proper send-off.
So we wrote him a song. 💙
From all of us at James Knott, thank you, Mr Morton, for everything. You've left a mark on this place that won’t ever fade.

Thank you Mr Morton. I know Will and Alice will miss you. Enjoy many happy years of retirement. Although Alice was adamant your last day was last week.🤣
📚✨ SATs Week for Year 6! ✨📚
This week, our amazing Year 6 pupils are taking their SATs - and we couldn’t be prouder of their effort, resilience and spirit! 🌟
However, there’s so much more to them than a test can measure:
🧠 SATs don’t measure their creativity,
💬 They don’t show their kindness or love,
🎨 They miss their talents in art and sport,
🎭 Or how wonderfully they commit!
SATs are just a small part of their journey and they've already achieved so much.
Believe in yourself - we certainly do! You've got this, Year 6! 🎉💛 ... See MoreSee Less
