Thank you to everyone who came along to our Easter Service at St Philip and St James church. The children retold the Easter story and sang lots of Easter songs during the service.

Mrs Little, or Miss Yvonne as the children called her, worked at Tow Law County Infant and Junior, later to be Tow Law Millennium Primary School, for 25 years.
She was more than just a dinner lady to generations of Tow Law pupils. She was a very caring person who did her job to a high standard. The children were priveleged to have had her as part of their daily life.
Miss Yvonne will be a big miss but she would not want us to be sad. She loved to watch the children perform for X Factor and assemblies and we are planning to build a stage area in the Key Stage 2 yard. This will be a lasting memory allowing present and future pupils to laugh and perform at lunchtime.

Oases Green Leaders Assembly
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.

Class 3 visit Durham Cathedral
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.

Class 4 Reception pupils all took part in an Arctic Animals Assembly linked to their topic during Family assembly. The children worked very hard to write and perform their own version of the story Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? They were able to use their previous learning to create some wonderful arctic characters and a range of verbs within. They ended their performance singing beautifully the song, ‘Three Little Penguins.’
Class 3 children then performed their dance routine to Bruno Mars, Uptown Funk. This is a routine that they created themselves and worked very well individually, in pairs and in small groups. They can’t wait to take part in the dance festival next week with our cluster primary schools!
