Congratulations to our final Stars Of The Week for the spring term. A special mention to some Y3 children who performed a violin concert at the Sage in Gateshead this week. They were very nervous but still did a fantastic job.

A big thank you to all children, parents and helpers at the Easter Disco this week! [gview file=”https://www.stcuthbertsprimary.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Easter-Disco-thank-you-.pdf”]

Today Reception Class invited their families to come and take part in their liturgical prayer with them based around the parable of the lost sheep.  They set up their focal point, read aloud the story, shared their own prayers and helped the adults take part in their mission of creating friendship bracelets to give to someone who they think is …

As we are in the season of Lent, KS2 prayed together the sorrowful mysteries. This was kindly led by school Governors Mrs Bell and Mrs Lowry and we were joined by Deacon Peter. It gave us time to reflect together on the mysteries and share our prayers. All children used their Rosary beads to pray and Year 5 used their …

Year 6 enjoyed a visit from one of our governors today, Mrs Bell,  who took us over to church and talked us through the stations of the cross. At each one we stopped, listened to the story, reflected, prayed and as we moved between stations said a prayer each time. Back in class we thought about the acts of kindness …

Our Friends Of St. Cuthbert’s organised an Easter disco, which was a great success. Children enjoyed dancing, playing games and party food. We also had a paste egg competition.

Last week the School Council met up with two Seaham Councillors; Councillor Brace and Councillor Fuller. Following the questionnaire we sent out to parents, the children compiled a list of questions to ask the councillors. Please click on the link to view the questions and responses.

Year 2 visited church to make a prayer pilgrimage through the stations of the cross to help us to grow closer to Jesus during Lent. We heard the different parts of the story at each station, said prayers and asked God to help us to be better follows of Jesus.

Well done to our latest Stars Of The Week and Readers Of The Week, lots of reasons to celebrate our children’s achievements this week.

For our Living Things and Their Habitats topic, we have been out in our school grounds investigating microhabitats. We conducted a survey to discover which mini-beasts we could find. We had a great time turning over logs, looking in cracks in trees and spotting lots of creatures. It was interesting to see the mini-beasts in their natural habitats and we …

Our B Team played in the Turns Family Cup Tournament tonight. They played three games, winning one and drawing two. Luckily, they did enough to go through to the final on goal difference. They all played brilliantly, worked well as a team and showed great sportsmanship. Well done!  

After a long season break, our school football teams had a league match tonight against Ropery Walk. The B Team played first and attacked and defended well. The two teams were evenly matched and this was reflected in the score of 1-1. Our goal came from Perseus. A special mention to Oliver who stepped up and did a great job …

We had a really good day on World Book Day. We all came dressed as a word and had a visit from Adam Bushnell. We watched a rocket ship landing on Mars and designed our own rocket ship. We then looked at the way that Alex Scheffler designed the aliens in the story The Smeds and the Smoos and drew …

Adam Bushnell visited us in Y5 today to talk to us about the life of local saint, St. Cuthbert. We enjoyed looking at some Viking artifacts from the time period and designed our own Viking character using the artifacts as inspiration. We learnt all about St. Cuthbert’s early life and his journey to becoming a saint as well as all …
