Our pupils had a very informative assembly from Helen, from Oases, about how to become energy supersavers.

They learnt about global warming and climate change, including what is causing it to happen. They then learnt about what they can do, at home and in school, to help to stop it from happening.

School will be remain closed on Friday 2nd March due to ongoing hazardous weather conditions.

On Tuesday 20th February, Class 3 went on a visit to Durham Cathedral. The sun was shining for their morning of geography fieldwork skills on the riverbanks. The children were given compasses and a map. We walked along the riverbanks, with our guide pointing out key ‘landmarks’ that the children would then include on their map when we were back in the education building. They learnt about bridges, the corn and fulling mills and the counts house.[Slideshow "geography-fieldtrip" not found]

After enjoying their lunch, the children then entered the cathedral for an afternoon learning about the life of St Cuthbert. They enjoying dressing up as the different people in the story and hearing the story told in different areas of the cathedral, including a visit to St Cuthbert’s shrine.[Slideshow "st-cuthbert" not found]

The children were fantastically behaved and made the staff very proud to have them on this visit representing our school. Thank you to the lovely staff at the cathedral who made the children’s day very enjoyable.

Amy, from Oases, came into school at the end of January to work with our Green Leaders group for the second time. They learnt about non-renewable materials and the impact that power stations are having on our planet.

They then went outside and played a game pretending to be polar bears. Through the game, the children learnt about the polar bear’s home melting and what we can do to help stop this happening.
