Today years 1, 2 and 3 have taken part in cricket workshops with Whitburn Cricket Club – All Stars. They developed their throwing, catching and batting skills and thoroughly enjoyed playing new and exciting games. What a fun day!
Today the Year 1 and Year 2 Bubble made the most of the snow and had a brilliant time playing outside. We made snowmen and snow angels and had a fantastic time!
This week in the Year 1 and 2 bubble we had brilliant fun playing with the parachute as a special treat for working super hard. We loved playing parachute games, our favourite was Fruit Salad.
This week as part of our History topic we have been learning about the Wright Brothers. We were fascinated to learn about how an aeroplane was invented and loved watching the first flight.
We had great fun making our own paper aeroplanes and had a competition to see who’s plane could travel the furthest!
Dear Parents
As I am sure you will have heard, the Prime Minister announced a National Lockdown which includes the closure of Primary Schools to everyone apart from Key workers and Vulnerable children.
Due to the late timing of this announcement, I have decided that Marsden Primary School will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday 5th January 2021) to ALL pupils. This is to allow time for us to collate the information of Key workers, Vulnerable children and to organise the provision that will be in place in school. Please can I ask that you have a look at the updated link below detailing the current Key Worker list:
Tomorrow morning I will send out a questionnaire for you to complete to let us know if you are a key worker and if you would like your child to attend school. Once I have this information, i will provide a booking form which will be the same as the one we used in 2020, to allow us to know how many children will be in school each day.
For those children who will not be coming to school, remote learning will be provided. Again due to the timing of this announcement, there will be a shorter form of learning for the rest of this week which will be available by the end of tomorrow, with the higher quality remote learning from next Monday. The children have made so much progress during the Autumn Term and I appreciate how difficult home learning is, but hopefully we can support each other in the next half term.
Please be patient tomorrow and I will be in touch as soon as possible,
Kind regards
Mrs Caroline marshall

Everyone had a great day for Children In Need. The children completed Pudsey themed activities and were treated to Pudsey biscuits at lunch time from the Kitchen Staff.
Thank you for your generosity!
Here is a useful powerpoint explaining the December Phonics Test
Year 2 were very busy creating poppies for our poppy wreath to help commemorate “Remembrance Day.” We explored various ways of staining coffee filter papers to colour our poppies, then once dried we cut, twisted and shaped our poppies to help create our wreath. It was great fun!
