Last week 12 Key Stage 2 children took park in a musical performance called, ‘Footsteps into Paradise’ in Durham Cathedral. The performance was an immersive musical and art experience, celebrating our togetherness as a Trust, enabling the children to explore their identity and spirit of community. Some themes of the show included; respect, belief, reality of war, remembrance, empathy, acceptance, equality and kindness. The children put so much effort into the rehearsals and sang so beautifully on the night.
Year 1 at Hall Hill Farm
Year 1 have had a fun filled day at Hall Hill Farm. We started with a look at the animals around the farm. The children then got the chance to feed some of the sheep and lambs.
We also enjoyed a very bump tractor ride and handled some of the smaller animals such a chicks, guinea pigs and rabbits.
Y1 Orienteering
Y1 used their map reading skills to solve some orienteering challenges at South Marine Park. The children worked as teams to find clues and materials. Once they had completed the course they then used the materials collected to build a home for their team’s bear.
Nursery Places

Y1 Technology Tom Visit
Year 1 have enjoyed a visit from Technology Tom this week, to support with our Science and Design Technology topics of ‘Materials’ and ‘Structures’. The children looked at the different properties of materials and how each one has its own unique benefits.
We were then shown just how strong paper can be when it is rolled into a cylinder. The children created some tall structures and two children were even brave enough to stand on one. Mr Henderson then has a try, unfortunately though he was too heavy.
In the afternoon the children worked in groups of three to create their own structure, using the information they had gained in the morning. They work brilliantly in their teams and created houses, castles, van, bridges and much more. Some structures even had working features. Here are a few photos from the day.
Year 1 World Book Day
Year one celebrated World Book Day with a range of traditional tales activities. The children retold and illustrated their own books, as well as decorate gingerbread people and build new homes for the Three Little Pigs.
Hoops4Health Basketball Success!
Four squads of children had a great day at the Eagles Community Arena in Newcastle. Their dedication to training in recent weeks certainly showed, as they all put in fantastic team performances. Everyone encouraged their friends, while two of our teams reached the Play-Off Finals. Our A team prevailed, and they will now go on to the District Finals to be played on the evening of 4th March back in Newcastle.
The overriding feeling of the day was immense pride, to see the children return to competitive sport and show wonderful skill, character and camaraderie. Thank you very much to all of the parents who helped on the day.
Chadwick Celebration Awards
Dear Pupil (and parents/carers)
We are delighted to today open the nominations for the first “Chadwick Celebration Awards”.
These awards are to celebrate the staff who work for Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust and your school. One of the awards is the very special ‘Inspirational Staff Awards’ and we would like pupils from across all of our schools to make a nomination in this category.
We would like you to think about all the staff at your school and if there is someone that you think has done a really good job and deserves to get a certificate then you can nominate them.
The nomination category for this award is:
“This award is aimed at someone who has fuelled enthusiasm, gone over and above the remit of their regular workload to emotionally and practically support pupil(s). This award is held in the highest esteem as the nominations come from the grassroots of our trust. He or she will have made an impact on a pupil’s academic or pastoral life, memorable enough for that young person to want to mark the efforts of the staff member”.
You may need to ask an adult for some help to make your nomination. You can do this online with the link below – you need to send in your nominations by Friday 8 April 2022. Those nominated and the overall winner will be announced on Friday 8 July 2022.
