As part of our work learning about Oscar Romero, the children all took home an Oscar bag to share with their family. The bag included information about Oscar Romero and the life he led.
Inside the bag there was also an opportunity to design our own cross.
The best ones received their own mini crosses to take home.
We were pleased to welcome Councillor Isabelle Roberts into a special assembly to congratulate our ‘Horden in Bloom’ winners and present them with their prizes!
Well done to all our winners!
Our school will be holding a Safer Internet Day on Tuesday 7th February. Parents are invited to come into school and find out what the children have been learning about.
To make our Christmas lunch even more special we combined it with the Save the Children Christmas jumper day. The children and staff loved showing off their special Christmas themed jumpers, some of which were even home made and decorated with lights and tinsel! As well as having a fantastic time we managed to raise £100 to such a worthy cause!
Thank you to all the parents who took part in our KS1 and 2 craft afternoons. As usual children and parents enjoyed making a range of Christmas crafts including a porcelain Santa, coasters and reindeer bags. Have a look at some of the photos in the gallery.
We would like to take this opportunity to give heartfelt thanks to Mr. Danny Dunleavy who has been a Governor at Our Lady Star of the Sea RC Primary School, Horden for the last 25 years.
Mr Dunleavy has dedicated his time and experience monitoring the continuous improvement of the day to day management of the school and the wellbeing of the children and staff in a voluntary capacity.
We feel it crucial to acknowledge his contributions and let him know how much he is valued by everyone in the school.
Well done Mr. Dunleavy!
On 21st October Mr Malcolm Fallow from East Durham Trust visited our school to join us for the Harvest Festival Assembly. He was overwhelmed by the generosity from the pupils, staff and parents who had donated tinned goods, cereals, biscuits, cleaning and personal items for the local food bank. Miss Jones also presented him with a cheque for £100 to purchase fresh produce. (See photographs of the assembly in the gallery)
Well done to everyone who baked, donated and turned up to our Macmillan coffee morning on 30th September 2016. As usual, we had a wonderful response to our invitation to come along and help us raise funds for this very worthwhile charity. We raised the staggering amount of £500. A massive thank you to the members of the SVP who helped serve the cakes and cold drinks on the day. (See photographs of the day in the gallery)
In September 2016 we took advantage of the offer from Taylor Shaw to borrow some of their ‘Fun with Food’ resources to help promote our ‘Healthy Eating Week.’ The children (and staff) had great fun making delicious fruit smoothies, ice cream, pasta and yoghurt. Check out the gallery to see the photos.
Friday 10th June brought about a royal atmosphere in school! The children came in wearing read, white or blue clothing and we even had a few princesses floating about. The fun packed day involved making crowns, assembling kites, a special fish and chip lunch followed by an afternoon visit to the ice cream parlour and photo booth! Children and staff had a wonderful day and the children received a special commemorative mug. Click here to see some of the photos that were taken.
