Next Monday we will be having a special focus on Science, with virtual visits to classes from Professor Bubbleworks! The online lessons are jam packed with wow moments that we hope will inspire lots of budding little scientists!
At the end of the day the children will come home with some experiment idea for you to try to together - please share any photos or comments via our social media pages.
Huge thank you to the PTA who have funded this wonderful experience for our children!

OPAL - Playground project
OPAL - Playground project
After having to put our playground project on hold, we are now looking to start gathering resources to give our children more to explore and create with on break times.
We are looking for donations of 'loose parts' - such things include wheels, planks of wood (any length), crates, old chairs, blankets, tarpaulins, pots and pans, keyboards, telephones, rugs, cable reels, rope etc.
If you have any such items, or know of businesses who may be able to donate, please send them in in a carrier bag. If you have any of the larger items, please just leave them by the top car park gate (to the kitchen drive) and let us know.

This time we've added the dates for each week to make these more user friendly! (If we couldn't keep track, we're pretty sure you struggled too!)
A reminder that you should book and pay for lunches using the clubs option on School Gateway.

The first time you log on, search for 'Prudhoe West' (Prudhoe West First School Parent Teacher Association) and select us as your organisation to support, then shop via the smile.amazon.co.uk link rather than the main amazon site.
