Year 5 Reading Buddies

by

Today Mrs Aspinall and Mrs Burton’s phonics groups had a special treat. We got to read to the children in year 5. They listened carefully to our fabulous reading and asked us questions about the text. They were very impressed with our fluent reading and ability to use Fred in our head if we got a little stuck. Thank you Year 5.

Harvest Festival 2022

by

UNCRC Article 14: Children and young people are free to be of any or no religion.

We enjoyed our Harvest Festival this afternoon, led by Rev. Michael at our local Church.

We learned about the importance of Harvest, Harvest around as well as the importance of Harvest to the Christian Faith. The children shared of favourite Harvest songs, poems and readings as part of the service.

Many thanks to all those who have donated food, the Durham Food Bank. It was really great to see so many parents, carers and wider family supporting their children and the school.

Class 1’s Nurse Visit

by

 

As part of our first topic of the year, ‘Marvellous Me’ we had a visit from Nurse Louise who works in a big hospital in Newcastle. We listened as she told us how nurses help people all around the world and showed us how to use some of her important equipment. She needed help from a team of Doctors, Nurses and Healthcare Assistants and we stepped into the role very well! Using stethoscopes, checking blood pressure and even watching Nurse Louise do Retinal examinations (ophthalmoscopy).

 

Our favourite part was getting a bandage of our own when stepping into the role of poorly patients in the hospital waiting room! Thank you so much for a great morning Nurse Louise 🙂
