Our Mini Police gave a fantastic assembly about anti-social behaviour to the rest of the school.
They informed the other children about aspects of anti-social behaviour through acting.
Thornley Tree Planting
A year ago, our Year 6 pupils planted trees at Thornley with Durham Wildlife Trust. We have had an update about these trees and wanted to share it with you:
‘The trees are really doing well. I understand that it was hoped that there would be a small plaque to define where these trees were and I have talked to Wolsingham Parish Council about this and hopefully there will be something soon.’
‘A lot has changed since the pupils were there, a car park at the entrance has been made and we have planted over 1000 trees. In December last year we started to plant a hedge around the car park and this year, 2018, we have another £150 from Durham County Council to continue planting a hedge further around the site. So when the trees and hedges are established it will be a very lovely place to visit.’
Anne Porter, the Heart of Durham Project Officer at Durham Wildlife Trust would like to invite everyone to a community planting day:
‘We are having another community planting day on February 24th of February and your pupils and their families would be very welcome to come and help plant.’
More details about the community planting day will be posted on the Tow Law Facebook page.
Wind Turbines – Oases Workshop
Amy, from Oases, came into school on Friday 12th January to give a renewable energy workshop to our ‘Green Leaders’.
She brought some very special new equipment with her; small scale wind turbines. The children investigated, using fans, the impact of wind speed on the wind turbines and they could also see the amount of electricity that was being made through a scale, a high pitched beep and flashing lights. They were able to investigate how a solar panel works as well.
The Green Leaders can’t wait to get some of our projects up and running in school during spring term.

Dogs Trust Workshops
We had a special visitor from the ‘Dogs Trust’ in school to teach our children how to be safe around dogs. They learnt to remember the ‘X Factor’ when out and about where dogs are.
Alison, from the Dogs Trust, then carried out a workshop in each classroom ranging from ‘A Day at the Dogs Trust’ to a senses workshop for KS2.

Our Early Years and Key Stage One children performed in their nativity on Wednesday 13th December. What a fantastic performance it was!
The nativity was called ‘A king is born’ and was centred around a family on Christmas Eve. The children in the family wanted to read a story before bedtime on Christmas Eve and their Mum read them the nativity story. The children then acted out the nativity story and sang the songs beautifully throughout the performance.
