With Christ at our side to guide us,
we shine in all that we do.
Y3 enjoyed sprinting, long jumping, howler throwing and a 400m run in a brilliant Athletics Festival at Monkton Stadium. It was wonderful having the whole class participating and great to see the children achieving lots of determined, personal best performances! I was very proud of how you trained and performed at this fantastic venue- well done to everyone!
In Y3 children have been making papyrus – a type of paper that was first made in Ancient Egypt for writing. The children then decorated their papyrus using oil pastels to produce colourful images of famous Egyptian Gods. The children had a great time and discovered how intelligent the Ancient Egyptians were as they traded with items made from papyrus throughout the Mediterranean.
The children in Y3 enjoyed an inspirational visit from ‘That History Bloke’, who taught the children about the role of a Pharaoh, the amazing pyramids and the process of mummification. Everyone enjoyed writing in beautiful hieroglyphics and playing some exciting Egyptian games!
It was wonderful to see children in Years 1-6 enjoying playing cricket together today. Coaches from Durham CCC and South Shields CC led the event, in which it was great to see plenty of smiles as children batted, bowled and practised their catching.
Our Year 5 children have been taking part in our ‘Skip into Summer’ challenge.
It has been wonderful to see different classes from throughout the school getting involved with our Skip into Summer Project! Every week children are having fun and learning different skipping skills with their friends.
Well on our final morning in school before Christmas, Year 2 have been making Christmas trees and decorating them using the most glittery jewels and sparkles imaginable!
Have a wonderful break with your children and we will see you in 2021!
Red Nose Day is day for superheroes and Y3 certainly delivered with fantastic costumes and kind fundraising. Meanwhile the children have received many certificates since returning to school for their great efforts.
The Y3 children enjoyed a unique World Book Day that involved children learning in school and at home. Children designed masks that represented one of their favourite books and took part in a wide variety of Literacy activities. One of the activities involved learning writing tips from famous authors; I’m sure many of our Y3 children will go on to become fantastic writers in the future!
