Poverty Proofing the School Day

29th November 2016L Dickinson

We commissioned researchers from Children North East (a local charity) to work in school recently with the aim of uncovering institutional and cultural practices which may stigmatise pupils who live live in poverty. As well as being in school and talking to all the pupils via focus group sessions, the researchers invited all parents, staff and directors to respond to questionnaires, enabling them to hear from the whole school community. We are looking forward to receiving the report and action plan which will help us move forward in poverty proofing our school.

Rich Cottell visits Chantry

28th November 2016L Dickinson

rich cOn 16th November we were fortunate enough to welcome Rich Cottell to Chantry who is an upcoming singer. He delivered a session to KS2 aboutĀ Online Safety & Cyber Bullying and a session on Discrimination & Radicalisation for KS3.

The session started off with a performance from Rich, followed by the talkĀ side of the session and finally a chance for the pupils to meet Rich and get a signed flyer. RichĀ  informed the students to make the right choices in regards to online safety and why it is important to celebrate the diversity between each other. He also discussed personal stories of when he has been affected by these issues which helped to provide a great insight into these topics.Ā The children thoroughly enjoyed Rich’s visit and took away some really important messages.

On the 11th November the whole of KS2 had the opportunity to go to VUE cinema at Cramlington to watch Finding Dory in 3D. The event was completely free for the pupils thanks to ā€˜Into Film’ which is a free online resource for schools. Every year the company offer hundreds of free cinema screenings for various age groups with the aim being to ā€˜put film at the heart of children and young people’s education’.

Chantry Middle School raise money for a good cause…

25th November 2016L Dickinson

Costa-PicYear 6 pupils at Chantry Middle School in Morpeth have recently been carrying out fundraising in support of The Costa Foundation. The pupils, aged 10-11, have been learning about the charity on Friday afternoons and they have become inspired by the good work carried out. As a result the pupils came up with some fantastic innovative and creative ideas as they were keen to play their part in raising funds.

In order for the project to be successful a community link with Costa Coffee on Bridge Street, Morpeth, was established. The pupils’ success was unprecedented and due to their unrivaled enthusiasm they raised over Ā£250!

The Poppy

14th November 2016L Dickinson
poppy

Freshly picked from Flanders field
Many years ago
Like the soldiers picked from their families
Sent off to a dreadful war
Picked for their bravery and loyalty
For King and country
Living in trenches
Knee deep in mud
Guarding the world like a solitary sentry
The symbol of a brave soldier
Whose candle they called life was snuffed
Remember
While sobbing in eternal sorrow…
Remember
Because they mapped our future
Our tomorrow.

Written by a Year 6 student for Remembrance Day

Pupils bury pieces of history at Morpeth housing development

14th November 2016L Dickinson

barrattChildren have visited Barratt Homes North East’s South Fields development recently to bury a time capsule filled with items that they feel epitomise their local area. The capsule included various images and stories about the local area, which pupils have been working on as part of a history project.

Our pupils have spent the last few weeks drawing pictures and collecting photographs of the local area, as well as writing about what Morpeth is like in 2016 to give a little piece of history to whoever finds it in the future. Pupils were then invited to South Fields on Tenth Avenue to help bury the capsule.

Paul Race, Sales Manager at South Fields, commented:

ā€œIt was great to engage with the local community and get the children from Chantry Middle School involved. We had a lot of fun burying the capsule at our South Fields development, it’s an exciting prospect knowing that future generations will discover the capsule and gain an insight into both the past and present life in Morpeth. At Barratt Homes, we are eager to nurture the communities in which we build our developments. Morpeth has a wealth of local history and we want to encourage our residents and the wider community to contribute to the continuing story of the area.ā€

Steven Johnson, Head of School at Chantry Middle School, said:

ā€œThe children felt very privileged to be asked to contribute to the time capsule buried at South Fields. They really enjoyed collecting the items, photographs and stories about Morpeth over the last few weeks. It was a fun and exciting project for the children, and helped them learn more about the town and its history.ā€
