Acomb children have been learning all about the essential skills for life from @Skills_Builder. This is a a big focus in school and we will continue this work in September. We now have this beautiful display to show the famous icons the children chose linked to each of the skills

Geography club are having an amazing time learning about the importance of recycling with @nowpressplay

Great prizes up for grabs and support out PTA at the same time 🤩

Look at this amazing progress in writing already!Maple Class (Y1 and Y2) have been using @janeconsidine's The Write Stuff approach based on the text of Pinocchio. I am blown away by the fantastic writing they are producing after just a few lessons. Well done Maple Class! 🌟

If your child loves an audiobook and/or David Walliams this will be worth checking out 🎧📚

Thank you to everyone who attended our special Jubilee garden party this afternoon and visited our beautiful Acomb art gallery. Thank you to all of the children, staff, Westoe Brass Band, Tyne Valley Ices and the wonderful WI for their hard work! #PlatinumJubilee #artgallery

Look at our beautiful new class signs! They have been specially made using the wood from the tree of each class (minus Willow of course!) We absolutely love them and would like to thank Mr Robson for his amazing work! #classsign #woodcarving #namedaftertrees #forestschool

We have had a fantastic start to our Queen's Jubilee celebrations with a delicious afternoon tea served by our amazing kitchen team. What a treat! #celebrations #QueensJubilee #afternoontea #firstschool

Congratulations to the children who achieved 'Star Writer of the Week'. They were chosen as they have worked especially hard to improve an aspect of their writing. We look forward to more amazing writing next week for #nationalstorytellingweek ✍️📚

Such beautiful colours tonight looking over the Tyne Valley from the school field. #sunet #northumberland #acomb

Last week Class One continued to study Paul Klee's work. This time we had a template to give us a helping hand but we had to try really hard to stay in the lines. We noticed that his painting had much lighter colours so we figured out we needed to add white. #art #ks1 #acombfirst

Children in outdoor explorers after school club enjoyed creating these beautiful poppies on our school field. #outdoorlearning #nature #RemembranceDay2021

Class One have been super busy learning about remembrance day this week. We made collaged poppies using little pieces of cut up orange, pink and red paper. We decided to string them up so we could hang them on the gate for everyone to see. I think they look fab, well done!

A huge thank you to Dan @EdWorldNE for our new set of rugby balls and tag belts! 🏉
