The first class assembly of this academic year was presented by pupils in Mrs Park’s class. We found out about all the work they had completed this term around the theme of rocks. The title of their assembly was ‘Rocks Rock!’ and after watching their assembly we have to agree!

Year 3 Class Assembly

Each year at Houghton Church there is a display of nativity scenes from around the world known as the ‘Festival of Cribs’.

This year we have been invited to add our very own crib which pupils designed and made. The display is open to the public each day between 10am and 4pm at Houghton Church (next to the Co-op) from 18th to 30th November.

The pupils who made the Bournmoor Primary School crib went to see their work in the church.

Pupils were given the opportunity to learn about Ghana first hand when Mrs Lees, our school governor, came in to share her experiences and photographs in assembly.

Mrs Lees has been visiting Ghana for a few years to help promote reading in schools in the north.

The children enjoyed seeing what school life is like in Sirigu Schools and finding out how children there are taught to read.

Pupils from Year 5/6 and Writing Club contributed to the World War I display at St Barnabas Church. There were many positive comments in the Visitors’ Book regarding the children’s work.

Parents/carers were invited along to a workshop led by Mrs Parks focusing on maths. The aim of this session was to show the methods used to teach children mathematical concepts (eg addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).

The way maths is taught in school has changed over the years and the aim was to provide help to support pupils with homework tasks. All the guidance referred to can be found in ‘Our Curriculum‘ section of our website.

On 26th September Bournmoor Primary School was 40 years old. Staff and pupils celebrated this special event together with a range of activities.

We were invited to enter the Chester-le-Street and District Vegetable Show in September 2014 in the ‘novelty’ category at the Riverside Cricket Ground. We had some fantastic entrants! The show is held every year and celebrates the hard work of local growers around harvest time.

You can view or download our document below which contains images of some of the entries.

From September 2014 schools will follow the new National Curriculum. Staff have been working hard over the past year to develop an exciting and relevant curriculum for pupils to ensure they continue to enjoy coming to school, have a love of learning and achieve their very best.

In order to allow parents to continue to offer such valued support to their children, we have published the new Curriculum Grids on our website so you can see what your child will be learning about in the year ahead. Please look in ‘Our Curriculum‘ section.

Welcome to the test post for this website. We now have a new WordPress website and have added some new features to our front page including latest news, links to popular pages and some lovely images of our school and our pupils.
