As part of Remembrance Day, year 8 studentswere given the opportunity to do some code breaking and cipher work with Tom Briggs from Bletchley Park, who brought in an original WW2 Enigma machine.
The Morpeth Helard featured our story in 13th November edition and on their website. Read the story online here.
Well done to everyone who took part in the non-school uniform day on Friday. We raised £472.23 for Children in Need!!
All Y8 pupils took part in activities linked to Remembrance Day.
They made proggy poppy wreaths with Mrs Rough, which were then laid during the assembly.
As part of their DLE programme, 7A are continuing their visit to East Riding Care Home.
Students develop their skills of empathy and care, as well as having the opportunity to talk to people from different generations.
New friendships have been formed and the students have really enjoyed organising various activities for those living at the centre.
Well done 7A!
To commemorate 100 years since the outbreak of World War 1 the Year 8 students will be taking part in a Cross Curricular Remembrance Day on Tuesday 11th November.
The students will experience a variety of different war themed activities on a carousel throughout the day.
The activities on offer include:
There will be a special Remembrance Assembly led by Val Cowen from the Mustard Tree Trust at 2.50pm in the main hall. Parents, carers and grandparents are more than welcome to attend.
Welcome to our new website! We are incredibly proud of the successes and achievements of our students and want to be able to share and celebrate these with you.
We will be adding to the website every week in order that you can quickly and easily access the most up to date information about the school and the events taking place. Our twitter feed has also been re-launched so look out for Newminster news as it happens.
After only a few weeks of playing together, the Chantry and Newminster Samba Band are all in time creating upbeat rhythmic sounds on their drums and percussion instruments.
On Thursday 23rd October Newminster went pink! Our pink themed non uniform day raised funds for Breast Cancer Awareness and the outfits were fabulous – including Mr Dick teaching football in a pink tutu as well as an array of pink hair around the school.
Thank you – you all looked fabulous! 
The Newminster and Chantry Ceilidh band, led by Mrs Hedley, have made fantastic progress since beginning in September. On 21st October they were joined by the Kevi Ceilidh band and after half term, pupils from Rothbury will also be joining them.
On Thursday 23rd October Newminster PTA hosted a fancy dress Halloween Disco in the school hall.
There was a great turn out and it was a great way for students to finish off the half term.
Thanks to all those who came to support and to the PTA for organising.
