Well done Alisha

Exciting news! We have been recognised for all of our hard work in PE and leadership in school. Last academic year our SSOC’s and Leaders helped us achieve the Leadership Gold Award presented to us by Durham County Sport. We are one of only 3 schools in County Durham to achieve this. This morning Craig, from County Durham Sports, came into assembly to celebrate all that our children do to promote sport and PE in school. Well done guys – you do an amazing job!

Well done to Lucas and Jacob, who raised £150 doing the Mini Great North Run. They handed their sponsor money to our local charity, which we also support- Heel and Toe Charity, based at Chester-Le-Street. Lucas and Jacob saw sensory equipment being used by children and where their donation money was going to.

Class 2 Multi Skills at New College.

This morning we had lots of fun taking part in a wide range of multi skills activities. We also learnt lots about Athletics with Chris. We had lots of fun and burnt off lots of energy! Well done Class 2!

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! 🙂

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.
