Year 6 to Year 7 Bridging Units

The transitional period between Year 6 to Year 7 is well underway and all our children now know which secondary school they will be attending come September. One activity all primary schools participate in to prepare Year 6 children for their step to KS3 are bridging units. These normally start in the Summer Term in Primary School and finish during the Autumn Term in their new Secondary school. Durham Johnston Comprehensive School have very kindly sent a bridging unit for both Numeracy and Literacy for all our children to complete. Please have a go and let us know how you found them.

What a treat we all had this afternoon when we welcomed a professional company into school to perform the pantomime Rapunzel.

We all had a barrel of laughs watching the characters unfold, as well as some of our children participating in some of the scenes.

Well done everyone.

Wow; what can we say?

We are very proud of all the children in Key Stage 2 after an unbelievable showing today in their Christmas performance – Super Star. The children have worked tirelessly hard over the past week to learn all their parts, scenes and songs, and had the commitment and desire to perform in front of all their family and friends.

Well done to everyone of you; you are all a credit to our school.
