A ‘choir’ of reception, year 1 and year 2 children visited the March Hare on the afternoon. They entertained diners from different community groups who were enjoying their Christmas dinners. Everyone was so appreciative and complimented the children on their singing, behaviour and good manners.

Rio Floreza was in school for the ‘Bling your bike or scooter’ competition. We would like to thank everybody who put the time and effort into ‘blinging’ their bikes. We were overwhelmed with the number of entries, especially on such a wet and windy day! The unenviable task of choosing a winner was left to Rio, who was impressed with the number and quality of the entries. We would like to say a big congratulations to Scarlett who not only won best in school, but went on to win the overall prize which was a new bike kindly supplied by Sustrans and Inspiral Cycles in Bishop Auckland.

A sad day as we say goodbye to Mrs Brennan as she retires to enjoy new adventures in her life. We enjoyed a lovely buffet lunch and Mrs Brennan was presented with a beautiful bouquet and a new handbag as a parting gift. We will miss Mrs Brennan but will stay in touch.

Thank you to everyone who attended our curriculum information evening – it was great to see so many families in school. We hope you found it helpful and gave you some ideas of how to support your child at home.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Harvest Festival at the Methodist Church. The singing from the children was fantastic, especially the Reception classes who have only been in school for 6 weeks! Thank you for all of the donations you all made which created a wonderful display within the church.

It has been an excellent start to school for all our Reception children, they have settled in very well and are really enjoying all the experiences!

The Bible Exhibition at the Wear Valley Christian Centre was a fun, interesting visit for the children. The staff there are friendly, welcoming and caring people and the children respond well to the calm approach and atmosphere. the children listened to a range of stories from the past and took part in a quiz related to the artefacts and videos they had seen. the staff at the Church commented on the good behaviour by every class which was very pleasing.

The children loved the visit from Walworth Castle Birds of Prey. First the handlers went into each class with several owls and explained some owl facts to the children. After this the whole school went onto the field to watch a display which was very interactive! Mr Raine had to stand with his hand on his hip while a small hawk flew through! It was amazing! Then the children made two long lines and the birds flew inbetween them. It was fascinating to watch and exciting for the children. Thank you to Walworth Castle Birds of Prey.
