Ahead of our upcoming RE unit, Year 4 visited Durham Cathedral to find out about the history of the building and the life of St Cuthbert. They enjoyed an internal and external tour, a riverside walk, took part in team building challenges linked to key events in St Cuthbert’s life and acted out some of the stories. Our guide, Joseph, made sure that we all learned so many facts and had lots of fun!
Our Key Stage Two children had a fabulous day celebrating World Book Day by Reading Our Way.
Well done to Florence who has started to learn how to spell in British Sign Language! She has drawn some pictures to help her remember the different signs and can now sign her name! Check out the video below!
A big “Thank You” from the staff and children to the Kitchen for our delicious Christmas Dinner today!
Thanks to George for providing us with some cool tunes and fun games today in the Year 3 and 4 disco!
Year 4 had a wonderful time during their Christmas Party Day. We designed party hats, did a quiz, played festive bingo, played games and even met the big man himself! Nine sleeps to go!
Well done to every single child who helped to make our Christmas production such a huge success!
A special thank you to Harry (Y5) and Jude (Y6) who stepped in to help when main parts were off poorly.
Today, Year 4 had the opportunity to welcome David from Durham University to our classroom. With his help, we became archeologists, examining artefacts from the time – some of which were over 2000 years old! The children also made their own offerings to the gods from clay and even performed in a classic Greek tragedy – Medea. We had an amazing day and learned so much more about the people, culture and beliefs of the time!
To celebrate National Coding Week, a mixture of Y4 and Y5 children accessed a program which gradually builds up their coding skills. We used Rodo Codo from the Code Hour and the children loved it! They were much better than Mrs Hanratty at creating effective code.
