• Sikhism Visitor

  Thu 16 Jan 2025

  We had a great visit from Jaswinder Singh yesterday. He is a Sikh and came into school to tell us a little bit about his religion. He played a couple of musical instruments for us and told us about meditation. The children all listened so well to him and asked some brilliant questions at the end. 

  

• Happy Holidays!

  Fri 20 Dec 2024

  We've had a brilliant few weeks with performances, parties and pantomimes so now we want to wish you all a very happy Christmas!

  

• Christmas fun!

  Wed 18 Dec 2024

  We've had a wonderfully festive couple of weeks in school. We've all had a party, all taken part in a performance and all made lots of festive crafts in school. Year 2 visited the church to sing our nativity songs and we all had an amazing time at the Christmas Fayre! 

  Early Years and Key Stage 1 enjoyed visitors in school to watch a winter show and all of Key Stage 2 went out on our annual trip to the pantomime to see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. 

  Wow! We're all exhausted but have enjoyed every minute!

  

• World of Possibilities gaming workshops

  Fri 06 Dec 2024

  On Monday 25th November we had Jonny Hiftle from Gosforth Civic Theatre as our World of Possibilities visitor. He told us all about running a gaming social event where people of all ages can go and play games on different consoles. Jonny told us all that his job relies on being able to communicate well with a lot of different people, which is something we're really working on at the minute with our oracy work in school.

  Then some of us were able to have a turn on some of the games that are available at the gaming social - we played online bowling, a retro racing game and had a try of a VR headset!

  If you are interested in going along to the gaming social, which is on at the Gosforth Civic Theatre in Gosforth (right across the road from Regent Centre Metro with a huge bee mural on the side of the building!), the event is held every Tuesday during term time from 4:30 until 6pm. Here's the link to sign up: https://www.gosforthcivictheatre.co.uk/gct-gaming-social

  Jonny hopes to see you there!

  THANK YOU!!

  We have received some thank you cards we would like to share with you. One is from the People's Kitchen who were so grateful to receive all of the harvest donations and the other is from Macmillan following our cake sale and bake off. Thank you so much for your generosity and support with both of these.

  

• Anti-bullying week

  Thu 14 Nov 2024

  This year's Anti-Bullying theme is ‘Choose Respect’. Bringing children together to discuss what it means to disagree respectfully, how to avoid resorting to bullying, and how we can all choose to lead by example.   

  Cheviot have enjoyed taking part in special assemblies, workshops and projects which have included Odd Sock Day and an online Live BBC Lesson!   

  This year the children have been set the challenge of making comic strips for a given scenario. These will show us how to respond RESPECTFULLY.  The children have then used their comics as a script, to act out their scenario and record their drama work.  We will respectfully view the polished product of each class during our whole school showcase assembly next week.

  

• Remembrance day

  Mon 11 Nov 2024

  Monday 11th November marks the anniversary of the end of World War 1 in 1918. We honour the sacrifices of men and women who served and died in World War 1, World War 2 and subsequent wars. At 11am we all went into the school hall to join people across the country in reflecting on the bravery and selflessness of those who fought for peace and freedom. Our children showed their respect with a two minute silence. 

  

• ODD SOCKS DAY AND CHILDREN IN NEED!

  Sun 10 Nov 2024

  It's Anti-Bullying Week on the week beginning 11th November 2024. The theme this year is 'choose respect'  We are asking children to come to school in odd socks on Tuesday 12th November.

   

  On Friday 15th November, it is Children in Need Day. The theme is 'Spot-tacular!' so children can come to school in Children in Need clothes or in spots if they would like to. Because this is for charity, we do ask for a donation of £1 on that day.

   

  Thank you for your support and we can't wait to see what you wear!
