Time for a declutter ….. our next bags2school collection will be on Monday 7th March.
Please have any bags to the school gates by 9.00am, alternatively if you would like to drop them off over the weekend prior to the 7th March, you can leave bags in the covered part of the early years outdoor learning area.
Well today the new food to sample was olives. Unfortunately this was not a great success and only a couple of the children liked them!
This weeks new food for the children to try was sharon fruit. Most of the children liked the taste of this and some came back for more!
Mrs Rogers prepared a wonderful Burns lunch for us on the 25th January and the children learnt a little about the life and work of Robert Burns, a famous poet who is known all over the world. The children all tried the haggis, neeps and tatties, Mrs Packer recited the Selkirk Grace and they all sang Auld Lang Syne.
This week the new food for the children to try was papaya, which was enjoyed by quite a lot of them.

Dear Parent / Carer
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee 2022
This year the Queen is celebrating her Platinum Jubilee and to recognise and celebrate this the Government has announced that there will be an additional
bank holiday. The late May bank holiday will be moved to Thursday 2 June
2022 and an additional Jubilee bank holiday will be on Friday 3 June 2022.
As the additional bank holiday falls within the half term holiday, legislation has been passed to allow schools to benefit from an additional day’s holiday. Our Trust has, in liaison with the schools of the Morpeth Partnership, decided to take this additional day at the end of the summer term.
Therefore, I am writing to inform you that the last day of the summer term for all our Trust schools: The King Edward VI School, Chantry, Dr Thomlinson and Newminster Middle Schools, Abbeyfields, Harbottle, Stobhillgate and Thropton First Schools will be Thursday 21 July with the summer holiday beginning on Friday 22 July.
Yours sincerely
Simon Taylor
CEO
