Primary shared a fantastic end to the topic this term with parents and carers. We had a visit from Mr Windbags the Magician who amazed us with some magic tricks. We all then practiced a range of circus skills and our adults even joined in!
P1 have enjoyed different science experiments this term We have made our own erupting volcanoes, rescued frozen toys from ice, made our own rainbow and explored some interesting textures!
We had an amazing afternoon at the sports festival based around the story of Jack and the Bean Stalk. The children from P1 and P2, and Jane, pretended to be different animals, run away from giants and climb the beanstalk. It was great fun and allowed us to demonstrate some the of amazing skills we have been learning in our PE lessons at school. 
Despite all the forecast rain, P2 braved the elements and continued with their trip to Chester-le-Street Riverside Park and we were so glad we did. The sun shone down on us from start to finish, making the visit even more memorable.
Year 6 went to see Toy Story 4 at the Metro Centre to say well done for all their hard work this year and especially during SATs week. For some of the children this was their first time at the cinema and they thoroughly enjoyed it – the sad, funny, happy, exciting and scary bits! Thank you to Mrs Kennedy for organising the trip and to the PTA for paying for it.
Primary are enjoying OPAL, especially in this warm weather.
We love exploring all the different equipment, building dens, using our imaginations and role playing.
Primary are working hard to achieve the different learning goals. We are working on our communication by sharing ideas and then a lot of co-operative work turning the ideas into structure.
Today has been even more special with the arrival of two new boats, we enjoyed sailing around the world and battling with pirates.
At the end of every playtime primary work together as a team to tidy the yard and make sure everything is tidied away into the shed.
