NOVEMBER 2019

Dear Parents and Friends

Welcome to the November Newsletter. Can you believe the first half

term is over and we start the journey towards Christmas once again.

Building work

I would like to start by thanking you for your patience with the building

work over the summer term, summer break and the first few weeks of

the autumn term. It was a busy 6 weeks over the summer break and I would like thank Mr Fletcher and Mr Aldcroft

for their hard work during this time. The work is now complete and we have a state of the art Y6 block with 4

classrooms, a conference room, staff room and toilets. Renovation work has also created 2 new classrooms in the

old staff area ready for our growing 3 form entry school – exciting times for Horton Grange!

Changes in Education

September 2019 saw the introduction of a new Ofsted framework which will be used as one measure of how

effective we are – we know there are more! We remain a good school and we are proud of what has been achieved

here. At Horton Grange we have always valued the wider curriculum and worked hard to provide children with a

range of experiences that we know help them to develop and be well placed for secondary school. In response to

changes in the accountability framework and our own evaluations of children’s knowledge across the curriculum in

Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 we will be moving away from a topic approach and more towards individual subjects

with clearly defined knowledge and skills to be developed. Our knowledge organisers are available on our website

for your information and will be sent home at the start of each term. We are pleased that the new framework values

the wider the curriculum offer and the importance of providing children with rich experiences. Whilst the school has

come a long way and our outcomes are of the highest standard, we are always keen to improve and appreciate your

on-going feedback.

PSQM Gilt Award

After successfully achieving Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM) Award last year we are delighted to inform you we

are now working towards achieving our PSQM Gilt Award. To achieve this award we will demonstrate continuous

improvement to teaching and learning in science across school by: introducing new more creative teaching practices;

developing outdoor learning areas; using new science websites and ICT equipment (including virtual reality

headsets). Watch this space for more news!

Sporting updates

Mrs Thomas continues to lead PE but this year she is also supported by Mr Ridley and Miss Hewson; they are all keen

to achieve the highest possible standards and increase participation in sport further. This year the school will apply

for the School Games Award in recognition of this.

Year 3 Skipping Festival

At the start of the half term, 3GH took part in a Skipping Festival at Blyth Sports

Centre. The children had a fantastic morning and enjoyed trying something new.

Year 5 and Year 6 Boys Football Tournaments

Both the Year 5 Boys Football Team and the Year 6 Boys Football Team were successful in their respective

tournaments at the start of October.

Year 5 were runners-up in their tournament overall after winning three games and drawing one.

The Year 6 team earned a place in the semi-final of their tournament after winning every game in their group. They

were runners-up in the competition overall after playing in a very close final.

Well done to both teams who demonstrated some outstanding skills throughout the day.

Year 4 Multi Skills

4KT went to Blyth Sports Centre during October to take part in a Multi Skills

Festival. The children took part in a wide range of activities and were able to

learn and apply lots of new skills.

Year 3/4 Tag Rugby Tournament

On Friday 25th October, the Year 3/4 Tag Rugby team took part in a

competition at Hirst Welfare Centre in Ashington. They competed against six

different schools; winning four and losing two. The team showed incredible

sportsmanship throughout and were an absolute credit to Horton Grange and

themselves.

Celebrating learning from Autumn 1

2 Year Olds

2 year olds have had a busy first half of the term. They have welcomed some new

children into the setting who have been settling into the routine.

There have been lots of opportunities to explore and get messy with a range of

sensory activities and some cooking

too.

The rain has been used to their

advantage, wearing waterproofs and

wellies to splash in the puddles. It has

been a good opportunity to promote

independence amongst the children, encouraging them to put on and

take off their own coats and shoes.

After the half term, staff will be introducing “Borrow a Bag” with home

learning activities, and a lending library for the children to choose a story

to enjoy at home.

Nursery

Starting Nursery is an exciting time for both parents and children! During

the first few weeks of term they were learning the Nursery routines,

meeting new friends and exploring the classroom environment.

Developing vocabulary has been a strong focus in Nursery this term, not

only have they been naming new objects and toys around the Nursery but

they have been naming the parts of their body and what they use them

for. They have been linking this learning to one of their topic books ‘What

Do I Look Like’ and using their

senses to explore has been

tremendous fun! The knowledge

organisers have supported the

children to learn lots of new

vocabulary.

As Autumn arrived, the children in Nursery have been learning about the

changes in the seasons and exploring the natural environment around them.

The children thoroughly enjoyed spotting Autumn objects in another of their

topic books, Owl Babies! On their Autumn walk, the children talked about

the changes they could see and collected leaves to observe and use in a

variety of ways back in Nursery.

Next term the children in Nursery will be looking forward to observing the

seasons change from Autumn to Winter and engaging in festive fun!

We are pleased to welcome Mrs Rose back to school and would like to thank parents for their support with staffing

changes last half term.

Reception

In Reception this term, the children have been learning new sounds,

predicting what will happen in stories and voting for which story they

want to read at the end of each day. They have been using their

knowledge organiser to focus on a new joining material each week,

learning what they are called and how to use them appropriately, eg

split pins. There has been a huge focus on creating representations

of themselves in different

forms, from salt dough models

and sketches using mirrors to

painted self-portraits. They

have really concentrated on the

details of themselves that make

each of them individual and

unique.

The children have explored the book ‘The Dot’ and used their imagination to

create pictures that start with a dot, ranging from belly buttons to camera

lenses! They will continue to develop their art skills through ‘The Dot’ book by

Peter H Reynolds next half term using water colours.

Next half term the children in Reception will continue to explore the different

seasons and observe as the natural environment around them changes, hopefully having the chance to see some

snow! They will be re-telling ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ by Michael Rosen using the actions they have started

learning, and as the festive season approaches, Reception will be busy practising for the Nativity!

Year 1

Last half term Year 1 have been learning all about animals and have been very

lucky to have some fantastic experiences to support their learning. They got to

meet some animals in school and learnt lots of facts about them. The children

visited the Blue Reef Aquarium where they watched a seal show and were able

to hold some of the creatures themselves. The children even found out what is

the biggest animal on earth – can they tell you?

In Literacy the children have enjoyed reading

and re-telling the story of ‘The Little Red Hen’.

They changed the characters and wrote their

own amazing stories.

Year 1 children are becoming super

mathematicians and will continue to practise

number bonds in school every day. Well done to

everyone who also completed their number bond homework. Lots of EPraise points

have been earned this half term!

The children have loved taking responsibility for their own learning by completing

their ‘Rainbow Challenges’ each week. Ask them which challenges they have done

today!

The children will be taking a trip to the coast as they become familiar with local landmarks and typical weather

patterns in winter. In DT the children will be designing and making sandwiches. With lots of trialling the children are

sure to make some super ones … fit for a lighthouse keeper! They will write out their ingredients, make a shopping

list and prepare their own feast.

The children will also be practising for their Christmas performance where they will all steal the show!

Year 2

Year 2 really have had a wonderful start to the year. Animal Antics paid them a

visit to support their learning in Science. The children had the opportunity to

observe closely and ask questions about lots of mammals, reptiles and birds. Their

learning about birds was further developed during our whole school falconry day.

The children asked some intelligent questions on the day, such as “How do you

know if a kestrel is male of female”?

In Literacy, the children enjoyed reading Little Red Riding Hood. They looked closely at character, setting and plot

and practised reading the text both at home and at school to improve fluency. They developed their own story-

telling language by finding key words and phrases within the text. Following on from this they went on to make their

own simple changes to the story.

In maths, the children have developed their understanding of place value by

partitioning 2 digit numbers in lots of

different ways.

In Design Technology, the children have considered which are healthy

and unhealthy food options and sorted them onto a venn diagram. They

then designed, made and evaluated some healthy options, including a

healthy fruit drink and a delicious

salad. It seems there are some

budding Jamie Oliver’s! All of the

children said they felt confident

to now do this at home so make

sure to take them up on the

offer.

In Geography, the children developed their understanding of

their world. They have used singing to help them to remember

the seven continents and developed their watercolour painting

skills when painting a map of the world, doing a beautiful job.

Through independent research they found out about which

animals live on each continent. In developing their mapping

skills, children looked closely at the outdoor environment and

around their own classroom. They produced aerial maps and

maps using a key.

Year 2 will begin their Horrible History topic this half term. The

children will learn all about The Great Fire of London, The Plague

and The Gunpowder Plot. In English, the children will read

information texts and picture books about the great fire; write instructions, make fact files

and develop non-chronological reports. The hope is to nurture their love of poetry by

reading ‘The Great Fire’ poem by Pie Corbett and by the children writing their own fiery

poems. Year 2 also look forward to welcoming the fire brigade into school to support their

learning. In maths they will

continue to develop addition

and subtraction skills and

then begin to look at

multiplication and division and fractions. Exploring

everyday materials including wood, metal, plastic,

glass, brick, rock, paper and cardboard and look at

their suitability for different purposes will be the focus

in Science. Additionally the children will investigate

how the shape of solid objects can be changed by

squashing, bending, twisting and stretching. The text

‘The Great Paper Caper’ by Oliver Jeffers will be used to support learning in science. Please continue to support

children at home with their daily reading of their home/school reading books, their phonics and book bag books. To

support children with their maths, please continue to work on 2, 5 and 10 times tables.

Year 3

Both classes have made an excellent start to their KS2 journey, settling well into the new routines and adapting to

the different curriculum. They have had a busy half term filled with lots of new, exciting learning. In Literacy lessons

they began by looking at fables, from the features typically found within one through to planning and writing their

own based on lots of work around ‘The Mouse and The Lion’ text. After that they studied poetry, focusing on shape

poems in particular. The children spent time identifying poetic features before planning and creating their own

shape poems, one about a tree and another which also utilised calligram shape words about firework night. In

Maths the children spent most of the half term working on place value of numbers up to 1,000 to secure their

knowledge in number before beginning the addition and subtraction unit. The children were introduced to using the

column method, moving away from drawing the tens and ones as sticks and dots. Year 3’s topic was history based as

it was all about the Stone Age, which linked into the reciprocal reading book The Stone Age Boy. The children have

enjoyed learning all about how people in the Stone Age lived including

their food, houses, clothes, tools, and more. They spent time

investigating historical artefacts and the changes from the early Stone

Age, to the Bronze Age

through to the Iron Age.

In Science Year 3 spent the

half term looking at

skeletons and the body,

learning the names of

human bones and the

different functions of the skeleton. The children worked on their

classifying skills by sorting creatures based on their type of skeleton or if

they have one. The children have spent the half term learning how to

play Ukulele and are beginning to apply their new skills to each lesson.

This half term Year 3’s topic is all about the coast, looking at geographical changes and trends. This ties into the

Science focus of rocks and fossils as they are often found along the coast. In Literacy the children will be looking at

adventure and mystery stories for the majority of the half term, finishing with work on performing poetry. In Maths

the children will continue their work on addition and subtraction, followed by work on multiplication and division,

whilst beginning to learn the 4 times tables. The reciprocal reading text that the children will be focusing on is ‘Stig

of the Dump’ by Clive King

Year 4 Year 4 had an exciting start to their learning this year and have settled into

their new year groups very well. In Literacy, Year 4 read ‘The Secret of Black

Rock’ by Joe Todd Stanton and used the text to help them write their own

dilemma stories. Some of the stories are now on display along the Key Stage

2 corridor and demonstrate a range of new vocabulary, grammar and

improved handwriting. In Science, the children have been learning about

food chains in different habitats. The children were given the opportunity to

use search engines and non-fiction texts to research their favourite animals to

create a piece of non-fiction writing about their animal, which included a

labelled scientific diagram of a food chain and simple organisational devices.

In PE, the children have demonstrated some fantastic gymnastic skills when

they practised balances and displayed in sequences using apparatus.

Furthermore, 4KT had the opportunity to participate in a Multiskills Festival

where they took part in different PE activities that helped to promote their

agility, balance and coordination. The children had a brilliant time and were

excellent role models for the school.

In Autumn 2, Year 4 will begin their History topic on the Romans by using the

text ‘You Wouldn’t Want to be a Roman Soldier’ by David Stewart to investigate

what life was like in the Roman period. The children will also explore how the

Romans have impacted life today by using a range of historical artefacts and sources. In Science, Year 4 will be

learning about states of matter and linking these processes to scientific enquiries.

We are promoting reading this year and Year 4 will also be reading a range of texts with historical settings based on

their Roman topic including Roman Invasion: My Story by Jim Eldridge. As the class reader, the children will read

‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ by Roald Dahl to link with their work on states of matter in Science.

Year 5

Last half term, Year 5 have enjoyed their learning related to

the Arctic and Antarctic. In geography, the children used their

understanding of latitude and on longitude to map

Shackleton’s journey in Antarctica and researched the

similarities and differences of the climates of the Arctic and

Antarctic circle. The children further consolidated their

learning through literacy; they loved reading their class text

Sky Song and discussing this in reciprocal reading sessions. In

PE, the children have enjoyed continuing their swimming

lessons in addition to building

their tennis skills. The

children’s ability to control and

aim the ball improved over the

half term and they loved playing mini tennis matches against each other.

Last half term’s science topic on Earth and Space has really gripped the children’s

imaginations. The children have learned all about the planets in our solar system;

they were shocked to learn that Jupiter has 69 moons, and how the moon and the

Earth move around the sun. Additionally they have broadened their scientific

vocabulary extensively.

In DT, the children have loved designing and making their own pizza linking to their

PSHE learning around healthy lifestyles. They children researched seasonal vegetables to include on their pizza and

designed their pizza with this in mind. Finally, the children enjoyed being chefs for the day as they made, ate and

evaluated their pizzas – delicious!

This half term, the children will be learning all about the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings in History. They will learn all about

the fall of the Roman occupation of Britain and how Alfred the Great protected the Kingdom of Wessex from the

Viking raiders. The children will link their literacy work through their class text ‘Beowulf’ by Michael Morpurgo and

examine the morality of the legendary hero, Beowulf, killing the vile beast, Grendel. In Science, the learning will

focus on Chemistry as the children investigate the properties and changes of materials through a range of scientific

enquiries.

Year 6

The children have made an excellent start to Year 6 and staff are very pleased with all their hard work, their

behaviour as role models for the rest of the school and their increased pace of learning. They have created some

very imaginative writing, producing stories based on the class texts of The Last Wild and Just So Stories by Rudyard

Kipling where the language was challenging but meant lots of new vocabulary was learnt. These stories tell how

animals developed certain characteristics and some of the titles which the children came up with were: How the Slug

got its Slime, How the Shark got its Gills (linking to our science work on circulatory systems in humans and animals),

How the Jellyfish got its Sting and How the Dragon got its Fire – all very enjoyable reads!

Reading is a huge focus for the school this year and the children have really enjoyed using the Reading Plus system

which helps to build fluency and speed with reading. They can also access this on computers at home – well done to

all who are already doing this!

In Science, Year 6 have studied the digestive and circulatory systems of humans and animals, discovering that cows

have four stomachs and bees have neither veins nor arteries – their organs are simply surrounded by blood at all

times. The geographical learning this term has focussed on the Lake District due to our visit to Hawse End. The

children have learnt how the landscape was formed by glaciers in the Ice Age and studied how the land is used now,

mainly for farming and tourism. A very engaging session was when they studied Ordinance Survey maps to identify

human and physical features of the area then used 4 and 6 figure co-ordinates to locate those features and specific

places.

As part of Year 6, all children wrote formal application letters to Mrs Irving and have subsequently been given a job

to carry out in school. The children are very proud to be wearing their job badges and are gradually getting going

with their new roles.

Maths Ambassadors Administration Assistants

This half term Year 6 will be studying both world wars and the impact which these conflicts had on Blyth. This will

link to our text of The Machine Gunners by Robert Westall which is set locally and (just like during the war!) the

children will listen to radio broadcasts of Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo. The plan is to take the children on

a visit to Blyth Battery where they will learn how important Blyth was during these times as a submarine base and a

national centre for shipbuilding. In Science, they will study evolution and inheritance. As Christmas approaches,

information about our Carol Service will be sent out and the children will soon be starting to practise those carols in

class, even singing one of those (Silent Night or Stille Nacht) in German which will link to our learning about the 1914

Christmas Truce during World War One.

Further information on curriculum can be found on our website

Christmas 2019

Now of course we’re on the run up to Christmas, and we will once again be keeping Christmas traditional with

nativities in Early Years and KS1, a Christmas Singing Performance in school for Year 3 and 4 and a Traditional Carol

Service at Church for Years 5 and 6. The Year 5 and 6 carol service will be held in St Cuthbert's church. Once again

due to fire regulations we will have to restrict tickets and numbers this year – further information to follow.

Before then we have the Autumn term parents’ evening on Wednesday 20th November so please try to come along.

Alternatively please remember the first Monday of every month is a drop in session until 4.00pm.

Developing responsibility

As you know, being responsible is one of our Horton Grange values and we support children to develop this in many

different ways. In Year 6, we develop this further by children taking on specific roles and by them all having jobs

within school. We will soon be appointing Year 6 prefects, head girl and boy, deputy head girl and boy and

sportsleaders – Watch this space!

Mini Police Horton Grange are proud to announce that the Mini Police scheme will be running for a third year. Staff at Horton Grange liaise with Northumbria Police to bring a range of experiences that children can benefit from. 10 new children from Year 5 have been selected to act as Mini Police Cadets promoting a sense of responsibility whilst learning about specific roles within the Police Force. Other children will also have the opportunity to ask Police Officers questions as they visit school throughout the year. The new Mini Police will take part in their first deployment on Remembrance Sunday in Blyth where they will lay a wreath at the Cenotaph. We would like to say a huge thank you to those children who were the Mini Police last year. You represented the school values of respect and responsibility throughout and helped to facilitate the handover to the new Mini Police Cadets. More information on our new mini police in the next newsletter.

School Council and Eco Council updates

At Horton Grange we believe in children having a voice and know that they are the truth in how effective school is and can be. The School Council play a crucial role in this. The children have voted to select new candidates from each class to join our School Council and Eco Council supporting their understanding of a democratic process.

The School Council have been involved in developing our anti-bullying process and will be gathering the thoughts and ideas of their peers to create an approach that all the children across school are familiar with and understand. Next term, the School Council will be starting their suggestion boxes in each class to ensure pupil voice is heard loud and proud!

The Eco Council have been designing an eye-catching and engaging display using recyclable materials to promote the ethos of our Eco Council. They have been researching key facts to help make their display both interesting and informative! Next term, they will be working hard to explore and consider the options available for our school to become more recycling efficient.

Attendance

First and foremost, well done to all those children and families that have made a great start with their attendance this year. A special mention should go to 6CW who have won the attendance trophy 4 times this half term. There have also been more classes getting 100% than ever before, which is an amazing achievement! We would like to see pupils as close to 100% as possible but understand that at times, we all get sick. However we strive to:-

· Maintain an attendance rate of a minimum of 96%. This is our whole school target and the national average. · Maintain parents’ and pupils’ awareness of the importance of regular attendance. · Plan parent/carer meetings to talk about strategies to improve attendance where appropriate. · Display key information about attendance around the school and celebrate high attendance

There is a clear link between attendance and achievement and we really

want the best for our children, both now and in the future. That’s why we

make attendance a focus in weekly assemblies and reward children who

attend regularly. These rewards include:

Extra playtimes / rewards for classes achieving 100% in a week

Termly prizes for 100% attendance

A yearly trip for 100% attendance

Asda voucher prize draw for attendance above 95%

There is also a voucher awarded termly to a child whose

attendance has significantly improved

Once a child’s attendance drops below 90%, this is classed as persistent

absenteeism and will trigger involvement from the Education Welfare

Officer. If your child’s attendance hits 92% you will receive a letter from

school informing you of this.

Holidays in term time

Taking holidays in term time will affect a child’s schooling as much as any other absence and we expect parents to help us by not taking children away in school time. There is no automatic entitlement in law to time off in school time to go on holiday. Amendments to the 2006 regulations make clear that the Headteacher may not grant any leave of absence during term time unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Points to remember

If your child is absent you must phone school or inform the office on the first morning of their absence. Failing to do

so will mean their absence is recorded as unauthorised, which can trigger involvement from the Education Welfare

Officer.

Holidays should be avoided in school time. If they are unavoidable a holiday form must be submitted

Children falling below 90% attendance are classed as persistent absentees and will be monitored by school

and in some cases by the Education Welfare Officer

Key dates when holidays must not be taken:

Month of May: Year 2 end of Key Stage assessments:

Week commencing 8th June: Year 1 phonic check

Week commencing 8th June for 3 weeks: Y4 Multiplication check

Week commencing 11th May: Year 6 SATs

These dates are set by the Government and school does not

have flexibility to change the dates.

Safeguarding

During the week of 11 November we will be supporting Anti-

Bullying Week with lots of events in school. The theme this

year is “Change starts with us”. It will link to our school value

of Respect. Our School Council will play a key role in this. Mrs Brownrigg is leading work on this in school alongside

Miss Hewson who runs the School Council. Thankfully bullying is rare but on the occasions it happens in schools and

it is taken very seriously. This term all children have taken part in a survey so that we can understand their

perceptions of bullying and how it is dealt with in school. They were very clear on many aspects, including the

acronym we use in school - STOP (Several Times On Purpose and Start Telling Other People). This helps them

identify whether an incident is bullying and what they should do about it. This half term the School Council will be

working with the teachers to collate the ideas and come up with a flowchart to show how bullying is dealt with at

Horton Grange. This way everyone can talk clearly about bullying and its consequences for all involved.

Scooters and Bikes

Can I please remind you to remind your children to park their bikes and scooters in the designated area behind the

KS1 hall or in the new area in front of Main Reception. Children must not ride bikes and scooters once on school

site.

Uniform

I know parents try very hard to follow our uniform guidance and we appreciate your on-going support with this.

However, we have a large number of children not bringing PE kit for PE lessons. This is part of the curriculum and

children need to be prepared to take part. It may be easier to send PE kit on Monday, leave in school until Friday and

then take home to be washed. If you are unclear of which day your child needs PE kit please contact school. Also for

safety reasons, even stud earings which are allowed as part of uniform code, cannot be worn for PE. Therefore it is

advisable that children do not get their ears pierced unless there is sufficient time to allow them to be removed for

PE i.e at the start of the 6 week break in the summer. Can I also give a polite reminder that extreme hair-cuts are

not allowed and that plain black shoes should be worn. If you have any queries around uniform please contact Mrs

Hewes to discuss.

Horton Heroes

The children tell me they love Horton Heroes and enjoy you coming into school to celebrate their achievements.

However, can I please ask that mobile phones are turned off or on silent and are not used to take photographs, and

that parents remain seated until all children have left the hall. Where possible, we advise that younger siblings who

will naturally find sitting quietly throughout the assembly difficult are not brought into this special assembly.

Thank you to parents for on-going support

Finally, I would like to thank you for all your on-going support. Your children attend a good and improving school

where, they are well looked after, are provided with an engaging curriculum, given opportunities to visit new places,

through a structured visit and residential programme, and we know that outcomes for our children by the time they

leave are excellent – we ensure as our vision statement says – Excellent outcomes for all! As staff, we are striving to

make this school the best it can be and we will always believe we can make it even better because we are a learning

community. Can I please ask that if you have any concerns or suggestions on how we could improve that you

contact Mrs Hewes to discuss and she will share these with me.

Best wishes Nichola Irving Headteacher

DATES FOR YOUR DIARY Please note whilst we endeavour to stick to these dates, occasionally amendments have to be made in response to other events in school, which are often out of our control. However, if you are unable to make an event, please contact school and we will discuss how the information can be shared in an alternative way.
