Well done Alisha

Well done to Harrison, who has won a football medal from his football team: Waldridge Park

This half term we have been looking at artists who create ‘abstract’ paintings – the children were so excited to become and ‘abstract artist’ themselves and portray similar themes, colours and shapes to Kandinsky – they found it fascinating that when you listen to music you can paint what you hear 🙂

After the torrential weather and the session being rescheduled, Class 2 have finally had the opportunity to visit forest schools and take part in all of the wonderful things our local woodland has to offer.

We made our very own stick men and women, toasted marshmallows on the fire and did lots of risk assessing when independently climbing trees! What a pleasure it was to have you class 2 – we hope to see you again soon 🙂

Today the children had fun experiencing the climbing wall. They were all so determined to have a go and climb as high as they could!

Yesterday we held our annual Sports Day. The whole school had lots of fun joining in a range of activities, some old favourites and some new activities too! The Sports Leaders and SSOC’s crew arranged all of the events and allocated children to each race. They were also in charge of setting up the equipment and ensuring all children took part. June joined Mrs Miller to keep score. Mr Beveridge started each race. June and Mrs Miller had lots of numbers to add up but finally announced the winning team …. YELLOW! Congratulations Yellow team! They were followed closely by Blue and then in joint third place, Green and Red.

Erica signed many copies of her story at Waterstones in Durham, after winning 2nd place in the Gilesgate Story Challenge Competition. Proceeds went to Grace House Hospice Appeal. Well done Erica, we are so proud of you.
