On Tuesday the whole school discovered muscles they did not know they had when Ant Clennan brought his Hiit2OH programme into school.
From the pupils to the teachers everybody had an amazing day and can’t wait to use the programme again in their PE lessons.
Have a look at the videos and photos below to see how much fun we had.
Year 3 had a great day celebrating World Book Day. Everyone had amazing costumes! We looked at The Famous Five’s Half Term Adventure. We created new book covers for some of the older Famous Five books and had our own Famous Five picnic. One of our favourite parts of the day was sharing books with Nursery children.
To celebrate world book day, the children in the Foundation Stage took party in activities based around the story of “Alice in Wonderland”. We baked jam tarts, had a Mad Hatter’s tea party (wearing our own hats that we had made) and created our own Wonderlands using different materials.
One of the highlights of the day was sharing a story with a Year 3 friend. The children loved hearing the children reading some of their favourite stories to them.
That children (and the staff) had a fantastic day!
Year Four had lots of fun today! The costumes were amazing and the children really got into character! We made Swallows and Amazons themed board games and tried them out with the children from Reception!

The Crew
Today, all of the adults enjoyed a fantastic World Book Day, taking on the characters from the story of Alice in Wonderland.
Thanks to our kitchen staff who managed to create some amazing desserts to get into the theme of the day.
A great day!!
The parents and community at Marsden have surpassed themselves with their generosity.
As you know, we asked for book donations towards our new library rather than a donation and we have been amazed.
Today we received 516 books…..we are staggered by the response and so thankful to everyone.
As part of our celebrations for World Books Day, we contacted Waterstones in Sunderland and asked if we could exchange the whole school’s £1.00 World Book Day vouchers for the books that are released for this day. The staff could not have been more helpful and the children have all enjoyed having a chance to choose their own book to take home.
Thank you Waterstones.
Yesterday, Nursery and Reception class made some delicious pancakes from scratch. The children looked at the ingredients needed as well as the equipment they would be using. Once the children had mixed the batter together, we cooked them in the pan. We really enjoyed watching them flip up into the air.
Not to forget the important part, eating them! The children took their pancake to the topping station so they could make their treat extra tasty.
Well done Nursery and Reception!
Nursery, Reception and Year One have been working hard to develop their bike riding skills over the past four weeks. Everyone has tried their best, learnt lots of new skills and had lots of fun in the process. Well done everyone!
Reception have been learning all about the story behind Chinese New Year. It is a story called “The Great Race” involving the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. The children were tasked with retelling the story, focusing on the beginning, middle and end.
We could believe the amazing story that James produced. What a fantastic job!
