Welcome to
NCEA Thomas Bewick C OF E Primary
A NOTE FROM OUR HEADTEACHER
Welcome to Thomas Bewick C of E Primary School! We are a one-form entry campus of over 200 pupils with additional provision for the care of two-year-old children situated on Moorhouse Lane in the Hirst area of Ashington.
At Thomas Bewick, we strive everyday to adhere to our Academy LIGHT values, to love one another, include everyone, goodness is valued, hope for a bright future and be true to ourselves and be honest with others. As a result, Thomas Bewick is a happy, welcoming and friendly school where each and every child matters and their individual needs are our focus.
We encourage our learners to have a love of reading; whether it be stories, poetry or non-fiction. Storytime is sacrosanct and we feel it is imperative that the children hear a range of texts which are linked to their Enquiry for the half term. All staff are excited to share stories which they know the children will enjoy and broaden their horizons. Visit our Reading Corner to find out more! Our experienced staff make great efforts to create an environment where the children are engaged in a rich curriculum, inspired to learn further, happy and secure at school being surrounded by friends.
It is our aim that each and every child in our care can reach and surpass their potential. We welcome working closely with parents and carers to ensure that their children are achieving the best they can. If you would like to know more about our school after exploring our website, please get in touch!

"At Thomas Bewick we all want the best for each other so that our children can grow and develop into responsible, knowledgeable and productive citizens." "“I’m so small,” said the mole. “Yes,” said the boy, “but you make a huge difference.”"

Today, they’ve been learning how to use real hammers safely to tap tees into a pumpkin! They showed fantastic concentration, developing their coordination and fine motor skills while creating some brilliant patterns. 🧡
We are so proud of their enthusiasm, focus and creativity!

🌟2 Year Old Stay and Share🌟
Today our children in the 2 Year Old Provision and their families, joined us for a Maths Stay and Play.
Our activities covered a wide range of Early Years Maths experiences;
🧸 Counting Bears and gluing them into a numbered jar (cardinality)
This helps us to learn the oneness of one, the twoness of two and threeness of three.
🍪 Decorating face biscuits (counting)
We were encouraged to count 2 eyes, 1 nose and 1 mouth and make a face on our biscuit.
🟪 Shape printing with paint (shape)
While printing with our shapes we also looked at their properties - do they have 3 sides, 4 corners, is it round? etc.
🎨 Bear colour sorting (sorting & classifying)
This teaches us how to sort things into groups based on their shared features and differences. Today it was sorted by their colour.
📦 Large scale building (shape & spatial awareness)
We needed to understand how to place particular shaped boxes - will a square box sit on a curved, round box?
Filling & emptying (Measure)
This teaches us the concepts of 'full' and 'empty'. It also teaches us the skill of how objects fit into spaces and about judging sizes.
🦆 3 Little Ducks (Subitising)
We came together at the end to sing 3 little ducks. We are learning how to count using our speedy eyes, and also 'how many left?' after each duck swims away
🛍️ At the end all of the children received a goody bag containing some Maths resources to use at home, and a 'Maths Star' sticker.
The grown ups were given a leaflet informing them how each of today's fun activities supports our Early Mathematical Development.
Everyone said they had a lovely time, and so did we! ...
