I am blown away by all your kindness and support on my last day today.  I feel very lucky to have worked with such talented, beautiful children and wish them all every success in the future. It’s been a privilege to work in such a lovely school.

Class 4 had a brilliant day at Beamish to launch our new topic Scrumdiddlyumptious. They began their day with an Inside Scoop workshop where they learnt about about the history of ice-cream in the North east.  They loved making their own cream with the traditional recipe and especially enjoyed tasting it.

Memorable experience – 1066!

UNCRC Article 31 – every child has the right to relax and play and join in with a range of activities

History / ICT

The year is 1066.  Edward the Confessor is dying and he’s asked Harold Godwinson to take over the throne. But Harold’s claim is under threat from three powerful men: William Duke of Normandy; Harald Hardrada, the King of Norway; and Edgar the Atheling, King Edward’s nephew. Class 4 worked in teams to play Harold and his challengers. They found out who the challenges were, where they came from and what their claim to the throne was.

Backed by a council of advisors (The Witan), each challenger and Harold presented their claim to the throne!
