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.

Our year five pupils have had a brilliant time becoming scientists in the Chemistry laboratory at Wolsingham School and Community College. The programme of activities ran for half a term, with the children enjoying lunch at the school then an afternoon in the science laboratory. All the children earned their Bunsen burner certificates allowing them to observe changes when they applied heat during their experiments. They have had lots of fun investigating acid and alkali solutions, exploring chromatography and the magical powers of static electricity – not to mention the fantastic properties of slime! Each child was presented with a certificate as a memento of the experience.

Our Christingle Service took place on Friday 1st December and it definitely began our Christmas festivities well!

Unfortunately, the heavy snow from the previous day meant that the service was held in school rather than our local church, St Philip and St James’. Parents, family and friends showed fantastic support to the children and our hall was almost overflowing with people!

We heard the story about the first Christingle, the work that the Children’s Society does and the significance of the different parts of the Christingle.

The children sang beautifully and some children even took on the mighty task of a solo/duet performance during ‘Sing Christingle’.

The service was a lovely start to our Christmas celebrations in school.

The Mini Police scheme arrived at Tow Law Millennium Primary School on Monday 27 November. The children eagerly awaited the arrival of the Police Youth Development workers. The children are taking part in a 7 week programme where they will learn about a variety of skills as well as being ambassadors of the school in their “mini police uniform”. Part of the programme will include the children sharing their experiences with the rest of the school when they present an assembly in the new year. More information will be available as the scheme progresses.
