On Friday 17th of March, the Year 6 playleaders organised the highly successful comic relief activities to raise money for people around the world.

Mother’s Day Afternoon

27th March 2023 By katrinascanlon

On Friday the children had a wonderful afternoon sharing activities with mums and other special people. The event began with environmentally friendly craft and Spring bulb planting activities; resources were kindly provided by Durham County Council’s ‘Low Carbon Economy Team’. This was followed by scrumptious cream teas. Of course, the event wouldn’t be complete without the pupils creating cards for their own special people earlier in the day.

World Book Day at Woodland

27th March 2023 By katrinascanlon

Thank you to everyone for making World Book Day one of the best yet! Donning a range of fabulous costumes, the children engaged in a range of activities from making ‘guess who’ riddles for well-known characters and voting for their favourite book character in Squirrels, to creating a human library and making expert book recommendations for their classmates in Owls.

Of course, no World Book Day would be complete without time for a good story too!

Music in Squirrel Class

2nd March 2023 By katrinascanlon

Year 1 and 2 in Squirrels have been learning to read the notes B, A and G as crotchets and quavers in music this term. This week we made our own compositions using these notes. We even used the repeat and rest symbols. After rehearsing we put on a mini-concert for the class. The new music was greatly received with the audience praising the way the musicians played their new pieces with care.
