• End of Year Awards (2016)

  Thu 21 Jul 2016 Mr. Lawson

  Our first annual awards event recognised children who had made a significant effort towards their academic or general development. This included demonstrating excellence in specific subjects or making good progress since September due to their commitment to their work.

   

  Those selected this year were awarded their personalised trophies in front of their parents and the rest of our school community, reflecting the broad range of talents we are fortunate to work with.

   

  A special additional prize (provided by Mr. Wisby) was handed out to one of our departing Y6 children who had maintained 100% attendance throughout his entire time at Caedmon.

   

  Anansi, the winning family from our 2016 Sports Day, were recognised in a separate assembly, as were those individuals who had impressed staff with their performances on the day or positive sportsman-like attitude.

   

  A huge 'well done' to all of those receiving awards. To everyone else... there is always next year so keep working hard and trying your best!

  

• Year 6 Leavers

  Thu 21 Jul 2016 Mr. Lawson

  On the last day of term we said goodbye to our Year 6 children, as they had their final day at Caedmon. Over the years, particularly the two I've known them, they have been nothing less than an absolute credit to their families and themselves - kind, diligent and eager to be the absolute best they can be.

   

  Their assembly was a fitting end to their time in our school: it has been a pleasure to work with all of them.

   

  Here, for everyone to enjoy, is the final video from their class assembly this morning.

• Year 2 Chefs!

  Mon 18 Jul 2016 Mrs Hall
  Year 2 had a fantastic time at Frankie & Benny's on Friday learning how to make pizzas and bread sticks. They even got the opportunity to test out what they had made - yum!

  

• Netball Champions!

  Wed 13 Jul 2016 Mr. Lawson

  Huge congratulations to Caedmon's immensely talented team for being the overall winners of the High Five Netball tournament, the final round of which was held at Kingsmeadow today.

   

  After 7 games this afternoon, they not only won every single match but they managed to not concede any points whatsoever.

   

  Their epic final performances continued the successes of the previous two rounds (held earlier in the year), capping an excellent season with a well deserved first-place finish.

   

  Well done to everyone who took part!

  

• Attendance Reward Day

  Wed 13 Jul 2016 Mr. Lawson

  Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed their reward for having the best attendance two years running. Not only did they enjoy some delicious food, they also got to go to the cinema!

   

  Let's see if they can make it three in a row next year, or will another class manage to beat them to the top prize?

  

• Battleship Fever hits Year 3

  Wed 13 Jul 2016 Mr Warren
  Year 3 was transformed into a military strategic headquarters on Wednesday when we used our maths reasoning skills to play Battleships. As we played the game we developed a wide range of mathematical reasoning, logic and strategy skills to help us take on our partners fleet of battleships!

  

• "We do like to be beside the seaside..."

  Wed 13 Jul 2016 Mrs Collins
  In Year 1 we have been busy learning to name the continents and oceans and describe different localities. We found out some of the class had not been to the beach before so we decided to go for an adventure! We had a fantastic time at the aquarium, and even got to handle rockpool creatures, before spotting all the animals. We enjoyed watching the seal show and then spent a happy afternoon playing on the beach. We did a treasure hunt and enjoyed paddling. What a fun day!

  

• Year 3 Gibside Residential

  Wed 06 Jul 2016 Mr R Warren
  Here's our Year 3 class having a fantastic first day at Gibside on their very first overnight residential. They have explored the Gibside Estate and learned how to light fires. More fun to come tonight and tomorrow.

  

• Sports Day Fun!

  Wed 06 Jul 2016 Mr R Warren

  Thursday 30th June saw a fantastic 'Olympic Monster Family Sports Day' for all of the children at school. Each of the monster families were assigned an Olympic country who they represented by making flags, banners and posters which were proudly paraded during the opening ceremonies as the national anthems were played. Once the events got under way children took part in sprints, egg and spoon, sack, skipping, long distance and hurdles races and took to the field to take part in Javelin, long stump, standing jump and tennis ball throws. Well done to everyone who took part and showed a fantastic attitude which was obvious from all of the smiling faces! All of the results fro each of the events have been added up and will be announced in celebration assembly next week. A massive well done to everyone who took part and showed a fantastic attitude!
