Our Celebrations Trophy Assembly was a brilliant occasion that celebrated the fantastic achievements of our pupils. Children from Key Stage One and Key Stage Two received trophies for their outstanding work across the academic year.

We also had a special visit from Chris Affleck, Investing in Children. Chris came along to our assembly to present our pupils with the Investing in Children Award, following his visit a few weeks earlier when he met with our School Councillors. A massive well done to our School Council for providing everyone in your school with a voice.

We would also like to say goodbye to Miss Thompson. Miss Thompson spent a year with us at Tow Law Millennium and we would like to wish her the best of luck in her future teaching career.

Our assembly ended with a fantastic performance from our X Factor winner.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Celebrations Trophy Assembly and to everyone for supporting your child/children and our school throughout this academic year.

What a lovely day for a graduation in our outdoors! The children in Nursery and Reception thoroughly deserved the awards they were given and the Early Years Team would like to wish Reception all the best as they move into Year 1!

All our pupils attended an assembly with Chris to review everything they have learnt in the inspire workshops across the year. They enjoyed hearing Chris speak about his experiences and linking these to their own.

Some of our KS2 pupils were very lucky because Chris attended their usual Monday swimming session. It isn’t every day you have a Commonwealth gold medal winner at your swimming lesson!

Unfortunately due to rain and damp ground conditions, our sports day was unable to happen as planned on Monday 10th September. But we are very lucky that Chris has agreed to come back in autumn term to attend our rearranged sports day on Thursday 14th September.

Our violinists performed for us in assembly on Wednesday 5th July. They showed off their musical work that they have been developing all year. They performed ‘Paganini’ and ‘Violin Star’. Well done girls, you were fantastic!

Our Year 1’s and 2’s visited Burnhill on Tuesday 4th July (otherwise known as the wettest day ever!).

The children came into school very excited about their trip, despite the hideous wet weather outside! They remained eager and enthusiastic throughout the whole day, despite the rain not stopping once!

They enjoyed making parts to go into the ‘Bug Hotel’ and then moved on to weave on the willow sculpture (which they were very disappointed was not finished yet as it would have provided a cover from the rain!).

In the afternoon, we enjoyed pond dipping and caught many different types of pond life.

Thank you to Mr Bell for a fantastic day of outdoor activities. The only complaint of the day from the children was that Miss Dobson had not done her job of booking nice sunny weather for Class 4’s visit!

On 30th June 2017, the whole school looked at Durham Cathedral and local saints as part of our British Values celebration days.

The children learnt about the history of Durham Cathedral and its role within Durham City today. They learnt about St Cuthbert; his life and his work. Some of the children also did art work linked to the Rose Window in Durham Cathedral.

Our KS2 children are taking part in the Daily Mile challenge. They started doing this after May half term and are building up their stamina to complete the mile daily and get quicker at doing so. We are all really impressed with their positive attitude and determination towards this, well done KS2!
