🎶 Year 5 Samba Workshop 🥁
Yesterday, our Year 5 pupils enjoyed a fantastic samba music workshop with Mrs Glanville as part of our celebrations for International Music Day.
Working together on the school field, the children explored the vibrant sounds and rhythms of a variety of different drums, discovering how music can bring people together through creativity, listening and teamwork. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm grow as the field came alive with energy and rhythm!
If you’d like to hear some of the amazing music they created, you can listen to the recordings on our SoundCloud page.

✨⛪ Earlier this term, all of our children from Reception to Year 6 enjoyed a special visit to St John’s Church to take part in Prayer Spaces! 💙
🌎💭 Through a range of creative and interactive activities, the children were encouraged to pause, reflect and think about themselves, others and the wider world around them.
⭐ The Prayer Spaces provided wonderful opportunities to develop spirituality across our school, helping children explore big questions, express their thoughts and experience moments of awe and wonder. From quiet reflection to thoughtful conversations, it was fantastic to see our children engage so positively and respectfully throughout their time in church.
🙏 A huge thank you to St John’s Church and Beyond Youth for making us feel so welcome and for providing such a meaningful experience for all of our children. ... See MoreSee Less

Year 4 had a fantastic day at St Mary’s Lighthouse in Whitley Bay, made even better by the brilliant weather!
The children loved climbing the lighthouse, exploring the rockpools and creating their own sand art on the beach. It was a brilliant opportunity to learn outside the classroom, enjoy the coastline and make some special memories together.
A huge thank you to all of the adults who helped make the trip possible and to the children for their brilliant behaviour throughout the day. After all that climbing, we are sure they will sleep well tonight!
A real highlight was reaching the top of the lighthouse and pausing for a moment of spirituality, as we looked out across the beautiful North Sea. 🌊 ... See MoreSee Less
