This afternoon, we completed our first experiment in Y5 by testing materials to see if they are soluble or insoluble.
The children were surprised that oil floated to the top proving that it was insoluble in water.
Year 2 have been loving working in the garden. At this time of year we are pulling out the weeds and getting ready to plant some spring bulbs
The new Year 5 class have got off to a flying start this year squeezing in lots of learning and fun into our first week!
Y5/6 children were given 30 places to take part in a fun run in the lead up to The Great North Run.
The children ran a mile along the coast and represented the school fabulously. They even had the opportunity to meet Bionic from Gladiators!
Congratulations to our first group of winners of the new academic year!
Well done also goes to out Y5/6 children who completed The Great North Run for schools this morning.
Sadly, we also said farewell to Florence. She will be a huge miss around Marsden however we wish her luck in her new school.
We have had a wonderful first week back in the classroom and the children have worked extremely hard!
Yesterday morning Year 2 came into the classroom and realised a space rocket had landed in the classroom! After some careful investigations they found a letter, some suspicious yellow balls and blue slime.
We left some questions and today a new letter and a book has arrived for us to look at. Our new class text is Beegu and we are very excited to find out more about the rocket.
Please enjoy watching the memories the previous Year 4 children made during their time at Beach School!
We can’t wait to welcome you all back on Tuesday (02/09/2025) ready and raring to start a new academic year.
What can we say about Year 6? They have amazing throughout their learning journey at Marsden, fully embracing the motto of “Everyone Cares, Everyone Matters”.
On Wednesday, they gave us a spectacular performance during their leavers’ assembly. We laughed, cried and shared A LOT of fond memories.
Congratulations to our award winners this year:
The Mrs Payne Award went to Sonny. He has been a beaming ray of sunshine from the moment he stepped through the nursery doors on his first day. He has matured into a remarkable young boy who will continue to shine wherever he goes.
The Deputy Headteacher Award went to Ruby-Lou. Her dedication and hard-work has been noted throughout her time at Marsden and she has been an excellent role model to her peers.
The Headteacher Award went to Aimee-Rose. Throughout her time at Marsden, Aimee-Rose has utilized lots of opportunities to take on extra responsibilities from being a lunchtime buddy to singing solos in the school choir. We are so proud of the mature girl she has become and know she will thrive at secondary school.
Well done to our football teams who both had excellent seasons.
Year 6,
As you stand at the edge of an exciting new adventure, take a moment to look back at how far you’ve come. You’ve grown, learned, laughed, and shown incredible strength. Primary school has been your first big chapter—and now, you’re ready to turn the page.
Secondary school will bring new challenges, new friends, and new opportunities to shine even brighter. Sometimes you’ll feel nervous, and that’s okay. Every great journey begins with a little courage and a lot of heart.
Remember this:
You are capable.
You are unique.
And you are ready.
Be kind. Be curious. Be brave.
And never forget—you’ve already proven you can achieve amazing things.
Now go out there and show the world who you are.
