Hoops for Health 2018 – Year 5 and 6

20th September 2018S Office

On Tuesday 18 September 2018, the children in Year 5 and 6 took park in the Hoops for Health challenge. Plays from Newcastle Eagles came into school to present a workshop in a bid for children to get healthy using exercise. The children had an excellent time and some were awarded with prizes at the end. Well done Year 5 and 6! and thank you to Newcastle Eagles.

 

No Smoking

18th September 2018S Office
It has been brought to our attention that parents/carers have been smoking within close proximity to the school gates. This is unacceptable. Not only are there there sign posts stating it is a non smoking area, we are a primary school and the children’s health and safety is our number one priority.
 
Please move well away from the gates when smoking. This also includes E-cigarettes and vapour devices.
 
Thank you

Newcastle Eagles

Reminder

 

Newcastle Eagles will be visiting school tomorrow to take part in a workshop with the Year 5 and Year 6 children. Children will need their PE kits and suitable trainers.
