Book Fair 2020
Thanks to your support and generosity, our annual Book Fair took ÂŁ1,667. This has raised ÂŁ1,000 in commission, which will be spent mostly on books to support English lessons but also on book prizes for the âDress as a Book Characterâ challenge.Â
Once again, âTHANK YOUâ!
Everyone is involved in making our Fairs a success: our customers, of course!
but also our student Fair Makers.Â
A BIG, BIG âTHANK YOUâ to Eva, Libby and Teddy in Y7 and Katie in Y5 who gave up lots of lunchtimes to staple together more than 500 letters and Fair fliers publicising our Fair
and to Eva, Libby, Teddy and Michael, who shared the tasks of support every break time during Fair Week, setting up the Fair, tidying up on the last day and distributing orders.Â
There was a great deal to do and we simply couldnât have done it without you!
Celebrating âWorld Book Dayâ
We collected ÂŁ217 to support the work of Book Aid International in getting books to children in parts of the world that have none. Thank you to all those who supported this worthwhile charity, which has extended its work into refugee camps and makes it possible for children in disadvantaged parts of the world to develop their reading.
The imagination and thought which your children have put into portraying a book character this year was a real pleasure to witness! Just take a look and see why judging was so difficult:Â
We had a staggering twenty winners!
Not to forget the Y5 team, you looked great!!
Thank you to everyone who made the effort to dress up. Your efforts contributed to making our âWorld Book Dayâ 2020 special – and thatâs what itâs all about!
Enormous thanks to Harriet in Y5, Brid in Y6 and Eva, Libby and Teddy in Y7 for patiently naming more than 500 World Book Day tokens so everyone could be sure of getting one in time for our Book Fair. You really are heroes!
All the schools in the Morpeth Partnership are coming together for Morpethâs One Big Performance on Tuesday 31st March 2020 at Morpethâs Riverside Leisure Centre from 10.00 am – 2.00 pm.
This event will highlight all the outstanding musical activities that are taking place every week across the partnership from first access musical experiences through to middle and high school ensembles and will involve over 500 pupils.
Music and the arts are so important in a young person’s educational journey and the day will provide an opportunity to share the love of music, enthuse and inspire the young people, create musical role models and strengthen both school and community partnerships.
Throughout the day students will be involved in a range of musical activities including body percussion workshops, singing and a musical quiz. They will also be involved in ceilidh dancing supported by The Cheviot Ceilidh Band at around 11.30 am.
Newminster and Chantry Middle Schools will be taking the Jazz, Ceilidh and Percussion Bands along with some drummers!
Just a reminder that our annual Book Fair is on now and will remain in school all week!
For every ÂŁ1 we spend, 60p comes back to school for spending directly on our children to help promote a lifelong love of reading!
