We're joining thousands of people across the nation to come together, have fun, and raise money to help make a real difference in people's lives here in the UK and around the world.

Setting a bedtime routine can help your child manage sleep patterns and make the evenings calm and relaxing for everyone. Remember blue light from electronic devices stimulate the senses and keep you awake, so keep devices out of the bedroom and switch them off 30 minutes before bedtime.

Don’t Forget Your Kit! Because we play out in all weathers, please make sure your child has their OPAL kit in school EVERY DAY: ✅ Wellies (or sturdy outdoor shoes) ✅ Waterproof Rain Suit (or over-trousers) ✅ Warm Coat ✅ Spare Socks (a lifesaver for puddle jumpers!) ⚠️ Top Tip: Please make sure everything is clearly labelled with your child's name!

MORE MUD, MORE ADVENTURE! We’ve had an incredible week of OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) at Northdown! 🚀 Check out what’s new in our playground: 👍Den Building Expansion: We’ve grown our den-making areas! Our little architects are already busy collaborating on some amazing new structures. 👍More Rope Swings: By popular demand, we’ve added even more swings! Perfect for building those super-strong grips and coordination. 👍Mud Kitchen Makeover: Our kitchen is fully stocked and ready for some serious "cooking." 👍Classroom Shoe Brushes: To keep our school tidy, we now have brushes outside every classroom so the mud stays where it belongs—outside!

Year 1/2 explored money in their maths lessons last term. The children were excited to go shopping to see what they could buy, they had to give the shopkeeper enough money to buy the items they wanted and then the shopkeeper had to check if they needed to give their customers change. A great way to bring learning to life!
