Yesterday, as our Powhatan People theme came to an end we had ‘a ball’. Just like Pocahontas did 400 years ago when she came to England and was invited to a Masquerade
Ball with the king.
We made our own masks, then learnt o special dance…we has a ball!
A huge well done to our school choir, performing in their first show at Hebburn Lakes on Monday afternoon.
I am incredibly proud of each and every one of the children for their ever-growing confidence, their amazing singing voices but most importantly the empathy and friendships shown throughout.
They really did represent what our school is all about, Working, Learning and Achieving Together!
Here are some snippets from the fantastic show. 🎤🎶
Sorry it’s late but here are the pictures of sports day.
For RE day, we looked at why people visit Durham Cathedral. In the morning, we visited St John’s Church and looked the exterior and interior and identified the different features. Then, we chose different parts of the church to sketch out. In the afternoon, we looked at who St. Cuthbert was and the similarities and differences between churches and cathedrals.
This week in History, the children have been learning about the Bayeux Tapestry. In small groups, they created a timeline to show what had happened during the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our school has once again been awarded the prestigious Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM)!
This award, which runs for the next three years, is a fantastic validation of our ongoing commitment to delivering the highest possible quality of science provision for our children.

To celebrate Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday, Year 4 created a fact file about sharks and some wonderful artwork of sea creatures using pastels. In the afternoon, they had a special visit from ‘Pawz For Thought’. They showed the children two baby seagulls and talked about the amazing animals that live and visit our coastline.
Today we have been learning all about Sir David Attenborough to celebrate his 100th birthday. We’ve learned about his early life and his extensive career. As part of the day, we’ve learned about wildlife that live in the oceans and seas around Asia. We produced some beautiful art work inspired by the creatures we’ve been learning about. We finished the day with a special visit from ‘Paws for Thoughts’ who shared some of the amazing conservation work they do. They even brought two baby seaguls.
This week we had a fantastic day at Jarrow Hall learning about Anglo Saxon Life. We learned about Saxon farmers, diet and their justice system. As well as this we learned about Saint Bede and his role in scripture writing. We even had a time for a visit to the park.
