Commissioning of the Mini Vinnies

5th February 2024 By carolinekennedy

In the Autumn term, we asked for children to volunteer to become Mini Vinnies.  We were astounded by the huge number of applications received from our KS2 children.  It was so difficult to choose between the thoughtful applications of those children wanting to make a difference in their community, so, with over 40 applications, we decided to run 2 Mini Vinnies’ groups.  Here they are being commissioned today.

Travelling Crib

27th November 2023 By carolinekennedy

In Advent, as we wait and prepare for the coming of Jesus, the children have been invited to join our special project called ‘The Travelling Crib’.   Starting this week, each child will take turns bringing home a pack to share with their families.

This is to help us remember the journey Mary and Joseph made to Bethlehem, and as a family take time to stop and think about the true meaning of Christmas.

Children in KS1 will bring home The Christmas Story, while children in KS2 will bring home a book called ‘When the Stars Shone Bright, A Christmas Tale’ telling the Christmas story from the perspective of the three wise men.

During the virtual visit, Hannah spoke about her bestselling books The Last Bear and The Lost Whale. She also introduced the children to her highly anticipated third book, Finding Bear. Hannah spoke about her exciting work and the background to her latest book, as well as answering pupils’ questions in a Q&A session.

Some of the children enjoyed listening to Hannah so much that they were motivated to write their own animal stories inspired by Finding Bear.

Y3 Archaeologists in Durham!

25th September 2023 By bmcvittie

Our Y3 mini archaeologists enjoyed an interesting Stone-Bronze Age day at Durham’s Museum of Archaeology! We learned about the chronology of Prehistory and analysed an exciting range of ancient artefacts. The children completed an exciting gallery trail and also considered what we could deduce from the bones of a skeleton. Y3 conducted themselves superbly throughout the visit and even took in some of the sites of a picturesque Durham.

Y3 Outdoor Adventurers!

10th July 2023 By bmcvittie

Y3 enjoyed orienteering using their mapwork skills around South Marine Park today.  They navigated around the park in teams to find letters and numbers which helped them to solve a variety of puzzles. During the course, they also embarked on six problem solving activities, where they had to use communication and teamwork skills. The children were fantastic and really embraced the challenges in a wonderful festival!
