Happy Retirement Mrs Miller!

By

After being part of our school for more than forty years, today we wished Mrs Miller a very happy retirement. We held a special assembly for her this morning where each class showed off a range of talents.

We have been so lucky to have Mrs Miller as part of our school community for so long and we know that she has touched so many lives with her kindness and dedication.  She has always ensured that our children have received the best possible start to their schooling experiences.

We wish Mrs Miller a very long, happy and healthy retirement!

Footsteps into Paradise Musical at Durham Cathedral

By

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.

Reception Visit Hall Hill Farm

By

Reception (and staff) had a brilliant day at Hall Hill Farm yesterday. They got to go on a very bumpy tractor ride, feed the animals, hold rabbits, guinea pigs and chicks and even bottle feed a lamb. Of course the highlight of the day was lunch, which we enjoyed together in the barn!  The children were so beautifully behaved and loved every second of the day. It was such a lovely way to end our year together. Also, a big thank you to our lovely parent helpers.

Year 2 at Hall Hill Farm

By

Year 2 have had a fantastic day at Hall Hill Farm. We started with a look at some of the animals on the farm and feed the llamas, alpacas, sheep and goats. The children then handled some of the smaller animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits.

We also enjoyed a very bumpy tractor ride around the farm and had the chance to handle some chicks and feed a lamb. We ended our fun filled day with some time in the play park. Year 2 were very well behaved today and Richard (our guide) was very impressed with our wealth of farm animal knowledge. What a fantastic end of year trip we have had!
