Year 5 children had the opportunity to explore their use of french when the French Bus came to visit on Friday. They had a wonderful time exploring french language activities and a range of french reading books. Through story telling they learnt all about Bastille Day. Their behaviour was exemplary and the reports back showed they enjoyed every minute.
Congratulations to all our Year 5 Mini Police who completed a year of hard work, commitment and responsibility by presenting their own assembly to an audience of friends, family and guest visitors, PCSO Alex Cave and Mr Ron Hogg, Durham’s Police, Crime and Victims Commissioner. At the end of the assembly Mr Hogg spoke highly of their work across the year and the achievements they have made in our community. Finally each mini police person was awarded their certificate.
Thank you to all the mini police, they have done us proud and they are now the inspiration for our Year 4 children who will become our next Mini Police group.

The school nurse visited Year 6 pupils on Thursday 22 June to explore the topic of Emotional Resilience and Well being prior to their transition to secondary School.
Year 6 (and 3 year 5s) completed their Young Leaders award this week. They learnt the main principles of being a good leader and how to put this into practice. They led games and created games for others to play. We will use this to start a lunch time games club next week which will be available for the rest of the school to play.
Upper and Lower School celebrated a successful Father’s Day picnic today and I would like to extend my thanks to all who came along to join in and show their support for the event and the school.

Ask your child about their experiences and what they have learnt.
