As a special end of year trip, Year 6 went to Robinwood in Alston. We experienced lots of activities such as;

• Caving
• Canoeing
• Archery
• Climbing
• Obstacle Course
• Night Line
• and the Piranha Pool!

We had an amazing leader named Tess. We enjoyed every second of each activity and everybody tried everything! We had fun on them all for example the stream walk where we learnt about the tribe where we pretended to be crocodiles. Team activities were included and they discovered their team work skills.

It was an exciting world of adventure!

Hello, my name is Charlotte and I am a member of the school council. Our school received an award on Friday and this is what it was for:

Investing in children is where a group of people come in and listen to what the children in school have to say about our different programmes we run and what we would then like to do. For example our bullying monitors who have been trained. This is to help children feel like their opinions and voices are being heard. 

This is us receiving our award, we are so proud of our school!

Hello, Jacob from Class Two here! We had a super fun day at Locomotion. We looked at the trains and learned all about George and Robert Stephenson. We went on some of the trains and looked at the engine and discovered a train that didn’t even look like a train, some builders were fixing it! We got to look at the Locomotion 1 and the Rocket! We touched the miner’s lamp and talked about his house and the way he lived. It was such a sunny day and we had so much fun in the play area too!

Thank you to Locomotion who organised an amazing day for all of our children! It is free entry across the summer, please check out the website and see if any fun events are on! Such a wonderful resource so close to our homes.
