🎃🍂 The Great Badger Pumpkin Fest! 🍂🎃

What a brilliant time we had at our Great Badger Pumpkin Fest! It was lovely to see so many children and parents enjoying the afternoon together and getting creative with their pumpkins.

There were some fantastic pumpkin creations... – lots of imagination, creativity and some very impressive carving skills! 🎃

Thank you to all of our families for joining us and making it such a fun and memorable event.
We hope you all had as much fun as we did! 🧡

🎃👻 Halloween Disco 👻🎃

What a fantastic time our children had at our Halloween Disco!

There were some brilliant costumes on display, from spooky skeletons and witches to all sorts of wonderful characters. The children enjoyed an afternoon of dancing, music and party ...games, with plenty of smiles and laughter along the way.

It was lovely to see everyone having so much fun with their friends and getting into the Halloween spirit.

A big thank you to all the staff who helped make the discos such an enjoyable experience for our children. 🧡

🌟💜 Staff Spotlight 💜🌟

It’s time to shine our Staff Spotlight on another member of the Badger Hill team. This week, we’re getting to know Miss Jefferson, who helps look after our wonderful children in Breakfast and Tea Club, as well as supporting them during lunchtimes.
...
Have a read to discover why Miss Jefferson loves watching our children grow, which colourful elephant features in her favourite book, and how her caring nature has been at the heart of her career for many years.

From caring for the elderly to caring for our Badgers, Miss Jefferson certainly has a big heart.

🏛️✨ Badger Hill Presents… Night at the Museum ✨🏛️

What an incredible experience a group of our Key Stage 2 children had at NETFEST, performing on stage at The Glasshouse in Gateshead!

After weeks of hard work and dedication, including lots of after-school ...rehearsals, our children were finally ready to bring their performance to life.

Our theme was ‘Badger Hill Presents… Night at the Museum’, with Inara taking on the role of the Nightguard, complaining that nothing exciting ever happens in a museum at night. Little did she know what was about to unfold. Suddenly, the museum statues came to life, with Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Greeks, Stone Age people and Romans filling the stage with singing, dancing and incredible energy.

It was a very long day, with rehearsals throughout the afternoon followed by an evening performance, but every single child was absolutely fantastic. We couldn't be prouder of their enthusiasm, confidence and commitment.

As part of our Element enrichment offer, opportunities like NETFEST are so important. Performing on a professional stage in front of a large audience is an experience our children will remember for years to come. It was also wonderful to watch the fantastic performances from other schools across Northern Education Trust and celebrate the talent within our Trust.

A huge thank you to Mrs Morgan and Mr Brown for all their hard work preparing the children for the performance, and to Mrs Morgan, Mr Brown and Miss Rudd for giving up their time to accompany and support the children on the day.

Every child also received a special NETFEST T-shirt to keep as a memento of this wonderful experience.
