Please read and share the following information from Public Health.

We are currently seeing increasing Covid-19 infection rates in the north of County Durham and it is therefore really important that we all follow public health guidance and remain vigilant.

The majority of cases across our communities are the Delta variant, currently the main variant nationally, which is more transmittable which means that contacts of cases are now more likely to become infected themselves.

However measures to control the variant are the same and the more robust you are in following these measures, the better protected you and your loved ones are.

As always please follow the Hands, Face, Space, Fresh Air guidance. Socialise outside wherever you can. While restrictions are being lifted on 19 July please continue to exercise great caution when mixing indoors beyond this date, as the virus can spread more easily in enclosed spaces.

Two doses of a coronavirus vaccination provide the best protection against the virus. Please attend both appointments as soon as you can.

If you get any symptoms you must self-isolate and book a free test via the NHS website: www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test If you are identified as a contact of a case, you too must self-isolate and arrange to have a test as soon as you can. It is a legal requirement that anyone with symptoms or who is a contact of a case self-isolates until they get their test result.

People without symptoms are encouraged to do twice weekly Lateral Flow Device tests at home and to report the results online. Testing kits are available at council venues and pharmacies.

All the latest guidance and information on how to access testing can be found at www.durham.gov.uk/coronavirus.

Holiday Activities with Food-Summer 2021

by

We have been asked to share the following information with our families.

Holiday Activities with Food – Summer 2021

Whether it’s finding fun things for the kids to do, paying for extra childcare, or even just all that extra food they seem to eat, the school holidays can be a struggle for many families. Covid-19 has meant that many people’s incomes have been reduced and children and young people are keen to get out and spend time with their friends.

This Summer our Fun and Food programme is providing fun activities with healthy food for children and young people. Activities are provided by range of partners including schools, voluntary and community sector groups and sport and leisure services.

For information on Fun and Food activities during the Summer holidays check out www.durham.gov.uk/FunAndFood

We will be adding activities to the list throughout the holidays so please keep checking back to find out more about the fabulous opportunities in our community.

Do you find the school holidays a struggle? Finding fun things for your kids to do that don’t cost the earth and paying for all that extra food or childcare.

Year 6 Leaver’s Prom – 15.7.21

UNCRC Article 31 (leisure, play and culture)

What a fabulous party we have all had – our Year 6 Leaver’s Prom.

The children all dressed up beautifully and had photos on the field before heading into the hall for ‘DISCO time’!

The children each had their favourite tea – McDonalds – followed by popcorn and candy-floss made by the teachers.

We were all treated to some fabulous dance moves!

Well done everyone; you all looked fabulous and a great-time enjoyed by all.

Year 6 Leaver’s Assembly – 15.7.21

Year 6 Leaver’s Assembly

UNCRC Article 29 (goals of education)

Wow Year 6, what can we say?

We all experienced an emotional collective worship today when we welcomed our whole school onto the school playground to celebrate the achievements of our wonderful Year 6’s throughout their primary school journey. They were all presented with a special gift and our school’s traditional Irish Blessing – May the Road…

May the road rise to meet you;

may the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face, 

and the rain fall soft upon your fields.

Until we meet again,

may God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Year 6, you are all a true inspiration for your peers; aim high and never stop believing – you will achieve and we all believe in you.
