Year 5 Netball
Some of our Year 5 and 6 children took part in a netball tournament on Tuesday and were amazing! They played so well as a team and showed off their netball skills, their confidence and their sporting attitudes. I’m so proud to say that our team came 3rd out of 8 schools. A huge well done to Evelyn, Mila, Gini, Anna-Frieda, Flo, Sienna, Georgia and Hattie.
Small & Tall closed
A reminder that on Wednesday May 3rd, Small & Tall will be closed after school due to staff training. We’re sorry for any inconvenience.

Newsletter – March Week 2
Published 10/03/23Dear Parents / Carers,
I have to start this newsletter with a very special mention to some of our staff.
Some of the staff were nominated for Co-op Recognition Awards for their roles in school and the amazing work they do with the children. A huge well done to Mrs Dean, Mrs Bebbington, Mrs Rafferty and Mrs Hughes.
On Friday night, we went to the awards evening in Manchester along with all of the other Co-op Academies. There were lots of staff nominated in total but one of our amazing staff won the Co-op Community award. A HUGE well done to Mrs Bebbington. This is the second year that Mrs Bebington’s hard work and dedication to supporting the children and the community has been awarded. I can’t thank Mrs Bebbington enough for her outstanding role at Friarswood. There are pictures of the night on Twitter and Facebook.

Fairtrade Cooking Class for The Macari Centre 2023
Published 10/03/23Our children had the opportunity to join Mrs Bebbington for a cooking class with a difference for Fairtrade Fortnight. This time our children used Fairtrade ingredients to make some delicious chocolate chip cupcakes topped with a Fairtrade Malteser! They all had one to take home (to test, of course!) and the rest were donated to our local homeless shelter to brighten someone else’s day with a sweet treat. The children were amazing at following the recipe and baking the cakes with very little help. They were brilliant! Thank you to those who gave up their own time to take part. #ShowYouCare

Published 03/03/23Dear Parents/ Carers,
Welcome back after half term. I hope you all managed some time with your family and friends.
On Monday, our KS2 children had an assembly linked to CRL (careers related learning). It focused on the labour market index (LMI).
The children identified job prospects in the area and we discussed what skills they need for later on in life. We identified the many areas of school life which help the children to build these skills such as teamwork, resilience, listening and speaking skills, problem solving and aiming high. The children responded so well and were confident at identifying which skills they already possess, which was great. I’m so proud that we have so many children with very high aspirations.

Fairtrade Bake Off and Cake Sale 2023
Published 03/03/23To raise awareness for Fairtrade, we have taken part in this year’s Fairtrade Fortnight. As part of this we had a Fairtrade bake off, where children could use Fairtrade ingredients to create a delicious bake, and we can confirm that they were extremely yummy! Theses cakes were then used in a coffee and cake sale on World Book Day to raise money for new reading materials for the children across the school. This was a big success and very well attended! Thank you so much for everyone’s support with this. #DoWhatMattersMost

A Visit from a Baby Dragon!
Published 16/02/23Last week a sparkly, silver mystery egg appeared in the Reception classroom.
We learned about different types of animals that come from eggs and how they hatch.
We spent the week guessing who could possibly be inside and caring for the egg, giving it a special shelter, keeping it warm and comfortable and even singing it songs to keep it entertained.
Imagine our surprise when we came back to school after the weekend to find our very own baby dragon had hatched.
Now we just need to work out how to care for a dragon as a class pet!

Our older children have had a very sporty week this week.
Some of our Year 6 girls took part in a netball competition with other schools from Newcastle. They performed very well and showed excellent team work. The next part of this tournament is after half term. We won’t know how well they have done until after this. What was lovely about the tournament was that the girls were so excited and pleased with themselves. Well done girls.
Some of our Year 5 children have taken part in a gymnastics competition with other Co-op Trust schools.
