Today Year Six experienced life as evacuees, sent away to work at Beamish Home Farm. We took part in workshops about life in the Home Guard and what happened during ‘The Blackout’. The children also had great fun exploring the other areas of the museum and were glad to return home to their own homes at the end of the day! A great time had by all!
The children have been having great time in Mandarin club with Iris! This week they were looking at colours and numbers.
Marsden’s Young Engineers have started their work this year by dismantling last year’s car- and what a keen lot we have too!

Thank you to everybody who attended the Meet the Teacher session last night. Here is the Powerpoint for those who requested it or could not attend. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
To mark the end of the Year 6’s time at Marsden, the staff came together to show them what teachers really get up to when the school bell rings!
We hope they enjoyed the video and wish them all every success in their future at Whitburn Academy.
Today the Year 6 put on an excellent Leavers Assembly to mark the end of their time at Marsden. There were a few tears shed and lots of laughter. We celebrated your talents as footballers, netball players and most importantly as people.
The annual Deputy Head Award went to Deacon Mackie and the Head Teacher Award went to Sophie Sutton. Very deserving winners!
Well Done Year 6, we will miss you so much!
Oh how they’ve grown!

On Thursday 12th and Friday 13th July, the Year Six children attended their new secondary school to see what life there would be like in the next academic year.
Meanwhile, back at Marsden School, each class moved up for a taster of their new class. A lot of nervous and excited children came into school on Thursday morning but fears and worries were soon put at rest when they entered their future classrooms.
Year five talked about their successes of the past year and their hopes for the future; then they wrote a letter to Mrs Watson who will be their new teacher in Year Six.
Here they are hard at work composing the letter and trying to make a good impression. We are confident that they will do very well in the coming year.
Year Five, heads down – trying to show how they can write a letter and making a good impression.
