Year 2 had a great time visiting Alnwick Castle in #northumberland for our project 'Magnificent Monarchs’. We learned about Harry Hotspur and agreed he is hero! We were able to explore the grounds and take on the Dragon Quest... it was a bit scary, but everyone was super brave.

We have had a great morning so far celebrating the #Coronation of King Charles III and are looking forward to parents and carers joining us this afternoon.

Some of our Year 5 children have been training this week to become ‘Playground Leaders.’ They had to apply for the role and are going to oversee and lead new games and make sure everybody has someone to play with. We can’t wait to see them in action soon! #leaders #rolemodels

For our #NoOutsiders lesson, we have read the book ‘Leaf’ which challenges the idea of prejudice. The children sketched out the images of the animals in the story and picked out their differences to highlight that despite this, they all work and live together.

This morning we have had our whole school assembly on World Refugee Day which, designated by United Nations, is tomorrow. Everyone is welcome at our school. There are #NoOutsiders at our school. un.org/en/observances…

Year 2 have had an exciting visit from Holly Sterling. She read us one of her favourite books, #KarateKids and taught us how she draws the characters for her stories. She was very impressed with the illustrations we produced. #welovetoread

We hope you're all having a great summer holiday. A reminder that we will be closed for a whole staff training day on Monday 4th September with school starting on Tuesday 5th September. Enjoy the rest of the holidays and we're looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Wonderful Nativity concert Kenton Bar Primary really got me in the Christmas spirit. Fantastic musical and dramatic performance from pupils of all ages and of course a lot of hard work from the teaching staff.

This afternoon, the choir were invited to sing at a coffee afternoon at Kenton Library. The children sang carols from our nativity, and really enjoyed their first performance as an ensemble. It was so lovely to perform for members of the public and family. Newcastle Libraries
