Durham Dash

Well done to this year's amazing Durham Dash teams!  These children competed in either an Athletics carousel or a road race last Wednesday evening at Beamish Museum.  All children worked so hard, showing resilience, team spirit and enthusiasm. A big shout out to James, Matthew, Louise, Jessica, Mohamed and Dorothy for making it to the final.  Gold medals for Mohamed and Dorothy as well as a silver medal for Adam (Y5) in the Athletics field event. Finally, we would like to thank parents for your support and encouragement.  It is lovely to see the school community coming together to celebrate our children's achievements!

Aris’s Time to Shine

It was Aris' time to shine in Ladybird class on Friday 20^th June. He presented The Gruffalo's Child. Aris showed us his favourite page which showed the ‘big, bad mouse’ but Aris explained this character was not actually real, he was just pretending to be scary. Aris then went on to show us what the mouse actually looked like – he was much cuter!

Well done Aris, what a brilliant presentation!

 Hajila's Time to Shine - Hajila presented a fantastic 'Time to Shine' on her home country of Algeria. She was very confident explaining aspects of life in Algeria, and it was a very informative presentation. Pictures of Hajila's family and personal experiences, while visiting Algeria herself, made her 'Time to Shine' especially interesting.

 Shiny Reader

In Ladybirds this week our Shiny Reader presented two books: ‘Gigantosauraus,’ and ‘Wild About Dinosaurs.’ She explained her favourite page of ‘Wild About Dinosaurs’ was one with the T-Rex on because he looks fierce and awesome. In ‘Gigantosaurus,’ she told us about how the main character Bonehead was eaten but amazingly he survived! Ladybirds were very interested in all of the illustrations and our shiny reader really enjoyed describing them all!

Robin Wood 2025

Our Year 6 children had a fantastic time on their residential trip to Robin Wood! Over the course of their adventure, they showed incredible courage as they faced their fears and tackled a variety of challenging activities - from high wires to team building tasks. Their enthusiasm, determination and support of one another were truly inspiring. We are so proud of how they represented our school, showing teamwork, resilience and impeccable behaviour throughout the trip. Well done Year 6!

Year 5 Weardale Trip 

Year 5 visited Weardale Adventure Centre this week and took part in a number of activities in a vast quarry. The children had to be resilient, show teamwork and communication skills. On the water, the children climbed aboard ‘The Mammoth’ a huge paddleboard, where they had to paddle as one and help each other collect objects. Lots of the children got wet but all returned with smiles on their faces. The other activities were based on bushcraft and teamwork. Fire lighting and the importance of fire safety was covered, while the Year 5s attempted to light pieces of cotton wool, before being rewarded with marshmallows. After this, we took part in a number of team building games such as crossing a pool of lava on stepping stones and handing things over an imaginary river. The activities were excellent and they were thoroughly enjoyed by the children.
