Torness Power Station
Our children in Ash class had a fantastic visit to Torness Power Station!
The children were fully engaged throughout the visit and learned a great deal about how electricity is produced.
After the tour of the inside of the power station and lunch, we were guided on a walk along the coastline to see the sea defenses that have been built to protect Torness Power Station. We were amazed to see how much the colour of the water had changed as a result of the systems in place. We even spotted some fishermen searching for sea bass!
The afternoon was spent building droids. Each team successfully built their own robot before taking part in a race to finish the day. It was a day full of learning, teamwork, problem-solving and plenty of walking! Many of the children commented that it was one of their favourite trips of the year.
Well done, Ash Class – you were a credit to the school (Which was commented on by the staff at Torness!)
National Number Day
For 'National Number Day' we invited grown ups in to school to spend some time with their children doing some number activities and playing some number games! The number scavenger hunt was a big hit!
Christmas Craft Morning
We hold a Christmas craft morning every year, where parents, family members and friends can come and join in with some super messy, sparkly, sticky but absolutely beautiful crafts! What a lovely morning everyone had!
Remembrance Day 2024
We observed our one minute silence for Remembrance Day at the War Memorial and Mrs Rooney played the bagpipes to end our silence.
Saltpan Rocks
Ash class went to Cocklawburn Beach to take a closer look at the Saltpanrocks. A local artist and geologist was there to share their knowledge of why the area is of importance. The children have learnt a lot of fascinating facts, have done lots of brilliant follow up work and have been really interested in this project!
Ukulele Practise
Ash Class have started learning to play the Ukulele with music teacher Mrs Thompson. We look forward to performing for our families sometime in the near future!
Countryside Day
Countryside day is always a really interesting day filled with lot of information and hands on experiences!
Congratulations to Ash class and Miss Sweryda for winning 3rd place in this years competition with their 'Trash Tractor!'
Easter Crafts 2026
We had a lovely Easter craft morning where family & friends could come in and enjoy some crafts with their children! We are not sure who has the most fun!
Christmas Crafts 2025
Our Christmas craft sessions are always lots of fun and our children love having their adults in school with them to get messy!
Newcastle United Foundation
Our pupils, families & staff held a fundraiser to help raise money for our friend and NUF P.E. coach Jack and his family following a serious accident. Paul from the Newcatsle United Foundation came to school to join in with our activites as part of our fundraising day.
Some of our Year 3 & 4 chidlren were lucky enough to have the chance to visit the NUF HQ as recognition for our fundraising! They held an activities day and even got to meet TWO Newcastle United players Tino Livermento & Jacob Murphy!
Pictorial Photography Visit
Oak class had a visit from Sarah from Pictorial photography. She showed us her photographs of dogs and different human jobs they might have before we discussed our own pets and what jobs they might have if they were humans. They were very creative in the ideas they came up with!
The whole school ventured off to Newcastle and each class had a very different experience while in the city! The trip was a huge success and all of our children were a credit to our school by demonstrating fantastic behaviour! 
Oak class visited Seven Stories and enjoyed listening to a fascinating story teller, they had great fun getting to try on and use different props from different stories! First Lawrence read us stories. He was funny and very good at story telling where we had lots of laughs. After lunch we looked at the Judith Kerr exhibition and read some of the Mog stories. Then we did some dressing up and enjoyed the story props before it was time for the bus back to school. 
Ash class visited the Roman Fort, Segedunum. We visited Hadrian’s wall and reenacted being Roman soldiers and threw balls as pretend rocks from the top of a replica roman wall. We got to try on some of the amour and feel just how heavy it was. Poor Miss O’Mara had to put it all on - it was very very heavy! We dressed up and acted like roman soldiers and marched, with a shield in our left hand and a spear in our right hand. Everyone got to try on replica Roman helmets, tunics and belts. We even learnt the Roman soldier oath.
Sycamore class experienced travelling the city by Metro on the way up to the Great North Museum and were fascinated by the Planetarium! They also got to explore the rest of the museum learning lots of science facts! We read maps, bought tickets, rode on the Metro, ate a civilised lunch!, watched a fascinating show in the Planetarium, enjoyed exploring the museum and found out loads of interesting things (and we didn't stop talking once!!!!!) 
Ubuntu Choir
We had a fabulous time taking part in the Ubuntu Choir workshop! There was singing, dancing, drumming and stories about life in Africa! It was a fantastic experience.
Fire Brigade Visit
Wow! We had a super exciting visit from Blue Watch of Berwick Community Fire Station yesterday! Did you know, a member of Blue Watch used to attend our school?!
The team delivered a very informative assembly on keeping safe in and around home, staying safe when out and about, road safety, what the Fire Brigade are called out for (not just extinguishing fires!!) and how to call them out when needed!
Our children gave some brilliant contributions to the assembly and also learned lots of new helpful tips and useful information! One of them being...If you don't have a working smoke alarm in your home, you can contact Berwick Fire Station and they will come out to fit one for you for FREE!
Two lucky children also raced Blue Watch to put on the full kit worn by the team and guess who won...the Scremerston First School team!!
Everyone then had the chance to explore the fire engine and equipment, sit inside, ask questions and even have a go at using the fire hose!
Thank you so much to Blue Watch for not only delivering important information but for inspiring our youngsters! Hopefully we'll see more Scremerston First School pupils working and volunteering at Berwick Fire Station in the future!
