Class 1 have had a fantastic morning with a visit from Nurses Louise and Rachael. This linked perfectly to our current topic because we learned about how we can be ‘helped’ at hospital by lot’s of people who work as a team to make us feel better when we are poorly.

We got the opportunity to see different equipment that is used in a hospital – we really enjoyed checking our heartbeats with a stethoscope! Thank you for an inspiring morning – we have lots of mini doctors and nurses in the making now! 🙂

UNCRC Article  24 – Every child has the right to the best possible health. 

Thank you to all of the parents and carers who came along to our Harvest Festival at church today! We had a wonderful time performing songs, poems and readings for you all. It was great to have a visit from Farmer Bob and his big red tractor!

Thank you again for all of you contributions to our Harvest collection which has been donated to Durham Food Bank – we have been overwhelmed by all of your support!

Thank you to everyone who donated and came into school wearing Yellow today.

We raised £69.30 which will be going to the charity Young Minds who are leading the fight for a future where all young minds are supported and empowered, whatever the challenges.

The crisis in children and young people’s mental health is real and it is urgent. More children and young people than ever before are reaching out for help with their mental health. Together, we can help to change this. We’re fighting for young people’s mental health. 

UNCRC Article 12 – Every child has the right to an opinion.

Big thanks to Rev.Caroline, our Governor Diana and Kelly who brought us the first ‘Open the Book’ Assembly of the academic year. Last year we looked at stories from the Old Testament and this year we are exploring stories form the New Testament.

We began with the story of Peter’s Miraculous Escape From Prison!  The children enjoyed being involved with the story and acting our different parts – especially when the chains broke off Peter and he escaped from prison.

As part of our pledge to support charities across the year who make a difference to the lives of people all around the world, as well as in our country, we took part in Jeans for Genes day.

The children came to school wearing their genes or something blue, donating £1 for this amazing charity to raise money to make a difference for children affected by genetic disorders.

We would like to thank you all for your amazing support once again after raising a whopping £97.20! 🙂
