This half term we chose Jake as our artist of the half term. This half term Picasso was our artist and Jake was very inspired by this and created some super artwork.

Well done Jake!

What a fabulous treat today when our violinists – who have been working with Mr Stokoe from Durham Music Services all year – performed to the whole school with a selection of Christmas songs.

A wonderful Rights Respecting Gold ethos demonstrated by all; we are very proud of you all.

Today Class 1, 2 and 3 performed the show; ‘Christmas Counts’ to our family and friends. We have all worked incredibly hard to learn our lines, perform the songs as well as remembering when to come on and off the stage.

We hope you all enjoyed the show as much as we did 🙂

Today we worked with PCSO Dean and PCSO Sam to track the speed of cars outside of our school. Dean and Sam told us all about the importance of road safety and driving at the correct speed limit. We then used the speed gun to monitor the speed of traffic outside of school. Dean spotted a van driving too fast … the driver got a warning to slow down!

Back in class we created posters reminding people to slow down.
