On Thursday 22nd of June, a number of Year 4, 5, and 6’s attended a cricket competition at Hunwick Cricket Ground. All the children put their newly found batting, bowling and fielding skills to use and a special mention needs to go out to Callum, who despite never having played cricket at school before, was able to bowl accurately and even managed to get spin on his ball. All the children worked fantastically as part of a team, encouraging each other the whole time. Overall, our teams came a modest 4th and 5th. A huge well done to all those involved.
Durham Cathedral and Saints – British Values Day
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!

A fantastic day full of activities!
The year 5’s were split up and placed into mixed school groups. In these groups, they all made new friends and bonded with new people in order to take part in challenges to build, make, balance and communicate.
Basketball Years 5 and 6
The year 5 and 6’s took part in a basketball tournament at Bishop Barrington. The games were played to determine which schools went through to the Level 3 tournament. Although we didn’t win enough games to make it to the next level, the children were full of energy, giving it their all and working on their technique.
Well done to everyone who took part!

KS1 Farm to Fork Tesco Visit
Our KS1 pupils went on a trip to our local Tesco superstore at Consett. The children took part in the ‘sustainability trail’ while they were there. They learnt about where bananas come from, cocoa beans and also different types of fish.
They had a great time exploring the store and also getting to try different foods.

Class 4 have worked with Mrs Chesters to decorate cakes to help us raise money for school fund. The children really enjoyed decorating the cakes and being the real life ‘shopkeeper’ when other children came to buy the cakes.
We made a fantastic total of £43.85. Thank you to everyone who bought cakes!

Thursday 8th June saw Class Two go on a trip to Burnhill Nature Reserve. Despite the rain and the wind, Class Two’s spirits were not dampened and we had a fantastic time, designing and creating living willow people and pond dipping. We learnt about the history of Burnhill and its development since the discovery of the rare Pearl Bordered Fritillary Butterly. Unfortunately we were too early to see any of the butterfly, but we did find nine adult newts, several waterboatmen and an abundance of toad tadpoles.

Over five weeks in summer term, Mrs Chesters has been working with Class Two, Tesco, and the Vegetarian society, to develop Class Two’s cooking skills. We have looked at how to create tasty, healthy snacks and meals, including a vegetarian lunch box, pizza, soups, yoghurt pots and popcorn! We have had a wonderful time developing our knowledge and skills in the kitchen and tasting our home-made creations.
