Corbridge CE First School has a big heart and a passion for supporting the local community and the wider world. All members of our school community take an active role in looking after God’s world. We pride ourselves on acting with dignity and integrity and ask children and adults alike to work together to build a fairer and more sustainable world for everyone. We are striving to maintain our status as a Climate Friendly School and limit the impact that we have upon the climate and the planet. The work we carry out in school fully supports both Northumberland County Council’s and the DfE’s aim to be Net Zero by 2030.
On entry to nursery, the children are introduced to the United Nation's Global Goals in an age-appropriate way. Global Goal 2 relates to ‘Zero hunger’. Our children enjoy healthy daily snacks and milk. We love trying new fruit and vegetables as part of the free fruit scheme which changes with the seasons. We also have a weekly ‘talk and toast’ session every Friday where were try different preserves, spreads and toppings as well as developing our fine motor skills as we butter our toast independently. We talk about the different shapes was can cut and make using a variety of cookie cutters. We also love to cook and so far, we have created our own gingerbread men and squeezed our own fresh orange juice.
