A Spooktacular Week of Fun in Class 2! 🎃🎆

6th November 2026 Emma Powell

What a spooky time we’ve had in Class 2! We started the week with a special treat – a fantastic Halloween disco! The children had lots of fun enjoying the spooky celebrations and getting into the Halloween spirit.

As the week went on, our attention turned to Bonfire Night. Many of the children were excited to share their own experiences of celebrating, talking about the fireworks they had seen and the fun they had enjoyed with their families.

During our Crew discussions, we also thought carefully about how to stay safe around bonfires and fireworks. It was lovely to hear the children sharing their ideas and learning how important it is to keep safe while enjoying the celebrations and even had some very special expert visitors from Askern Fire Station.

We have also been very creative with children exploring different ways of creating their own firework-inspired artwork, experimenting with a range of objects, glitter and vibrant colours to capture the sparkle and excitement of a firework display. The results were bright, colourful and full of imagination!

We’ve certainly had a week filled with creativity, exciting conversations and plenty of sparkle in Class 2!

Expert visitors who care ❤️

6th November 2026 Elouise Chadwick

As part of our Be Kind – How do we show we care? expedition, we have been lucky enough to welcome some very special expert visitors into school!

First, we met Biscuits, a very special therapy dog from Campsmount School. Biscuits helps children to feel safe, happy and comfortable. We loved meeting him, finding out about the important job he does and learning how animals can show us care, kindness and friendship. There were lots of smiles and excitement!

We then welcomed our local firefighters, who help to keep us and our community safe. We were fascinated to explore the fire engine, discover all the different tools and equipment the firefighters use and find out more about their important role. We had so many curious questions and loved learning about how they help others when they need it most.

Both visits have helped us to think about the different ways people show they care. Whether it’s a friendly four-legged companion helping someone feel happy or a firefighter keeping our community safe, there are so many wonderful ways to show kindness and make a difference.

A huge thank you to all our visitors for taking the time to share their expertise with us. We have loved learning from you!

We’re looking for a great teacher of Mathematics at XP Gateshead

5th November 2026 Geoff Hewitt

What if teaching Maths could be about more than covering the curriculum? What if every young person could leave school believing that they really are a mathematician? At XP Gateshead, that’s the ambition.

Joining XP Trust means becoming part of a community that does things differently. We believe education is about more than passing exams.

If you want to teach in a school where your creativity is valued and your work makes a difference, XP Trust is the place for you.

Find out more about the role here: https://xptrust.org/xp-gateshead-maths-teacher/

WARNING: Construction Zone

4th November 2026 Lauren Gate

This afternoon Class Six have been exploring the next part of our Play Passport. To do this, we took part in a Construction Crew! We used construction straws, magna tiles and lego to help us make some wonderful creations from chairs to helicopters and football pitches to magnifying glasses!

We then thought about the skills that construction play can help us build such as our teamwork, creativing and problem solving. What an amazing afternoon!

Another day, another destination in our Play Passport! 🏗️

3rd November 2026 Laura Parsons

This time, it was all about building and construction!

Crew Attenborough got busy exploring different materials and finding out just what they could create. We used LEGO, Polydron, straws, magnetic tiles and even dominoes! There were towers to build, structures to design and plenty of ideas to bring to life.

It took lots of teamwork, resilience and a little imagination along the way! We were just as impressed by the children’s fantastic teamwork, the construction vocabulary they were using and, perhaps most importantly, the care and respect they showed for our classroom and resources.

So many brilliant creations, lots of problem-solving and some lovely examples of working together. Another passport challenge completed! 🌟

Spooky goings-on in Year 2! 🎃👻

3rd November 2026 Laura Parsons

What a spooktacular day we’ve had! Year 2 looked a little different today, with strange uniforms, spooky face paints and some rather interesting wigs making an appearance! 🤣

We kicked off our day with a spooky yoga session to get us into the Halloween spirit. Even our maths lesson had a Halloween twist, as we explored potions and spooky ingredients!

We rounded off our day with a Halloween disco, full of dancing, music and lots of Halloween fun!

A brilliant day of spooky surprises, laughter and lovely memories. Well done, Year 2! 🧡🖤
