17th November 2022 By andrewgraham

The Christmas shoeboxes were collected from school today. They will be put on to a lorry next week and then sent on to Moldova, in Eastern Europe. Hopefully they will bring a smile to children this Christmas. Thank you very much for your support and kind donations. It will surely make a difference.

Egg Drop Challenge

31st October 2022 By andrewgraham

We created some designs to protect the egg from cracking when it was dropped from a height. There were some interesting ideas and the children were so excited to take part in this STEM activity. There were a few cracked eggs and we talked about why this happened.

Autumn in EYFS

21st October 2022 By andrewgraham

The reception classes have been busy learning about the four seasons, particularly autumn in the recent weeks. They have looked for signs of autumn outside and collected autumn treasures with their families which they brought into school to talk about and create a display. Our shared stories have inspired our children in the art room and they have made some wonderful ‘Leaf Man’ collages. They have learned about harvest time, enjoying our special celebration at the church with members of the community. There were lots of mucky fingers when we pulled up our carrots from outside! During this we had some lovely discussions about the wonderful shapes and sizes of carrot we had grown.

Low Barnes

20th October 2022 By andrewgraham

Year 1 had a lovely morning at Low Barns Nature Reserve. The children enjoyed walking around the reserve looking out for wildlife and signs of seasonal change. They loved our pond dipping and minibeast hunt activities. We found lots of amazing things including a newt, a toad, a great diving beetle and some sticklebacks.

Durham Cathedral

15th October 2022 By andrewgraham

We had a wonderful trip to Durham Cathedral with our year 2 children. They experienced a guided tour of the Cathedral and a hands on workshop. The children dressed in costumes and re-created the story of St Cuthbert and how he came to rest at Durham. It was a very interesting day and the children answered lots of questions confidently. It was lovely so see the Rose Window and the places that we had looked at in books before the trip.

Life Cycle of a Frog

18th May 2022 By andrewgraham

Our Reception classes have been carefully observing the metamorphosis of a frog. They have now been able to see all of the stages of the life cycle from frogspawn to frog as this week we have many frogs jumping around in the tank! The children have been using the vocabulary they have learnt such as ‘amphibian’, ‘camouflage’, ‘metamorphosis’ and ‘hibernate’. What a very exciting week we’ve had!

Life Cycle of a Chicken in EYFS

6th May 2022 By andrewgraham

Children in reception were so excited when ten eggs arrived in an incubator and they waited eagerly for them to hatch. It has been wonderful to hear the observations the children have made while they observed this process. They have learnt so much through this experience alongside our shared books about the life cycle of a chicken.
