• Shakespeare in Y5

  Tue 21 Jun 2016 Miss Donnelly
  Year 5 recently asked Miss Donnelly (she who doth teaches the torches of her class to burn bright*) if they could learn about William Shakespeare. As an appeal to their romantic nature, they have been reading Romeo and Juliet, before working with an expert storyteller to break the play down to its most important scenes, in order to act them out.
  
  *Act 1: Scene 5, if you were wondering...

  

• Y2 Hand Puppets

  Mon 20 Jun 2016 Miss Addison
  Year 2 recently practiced their sewing skills by making hand puppets. After researching different types of puppets, they settled on using a running stitch to join the fabrics pieces they had designed, cut and decorated together.
  
  The end results were very impressive; well done, Year 2!

• Dukeshouse Wood

  Thu 16 Jun 2016 Mr. Lawson

  Year 6 had a fantastic time at Dukeshouse Wood, near Hexham, earlier this week. They took part in a range of activities, including climbing, shelter building, outdoor laser, quad biking, archery, a mud crawl and many, many more.
  
  Throughout the week their attitude was superb, as they worked together to complete some tough challenges and conquer some of their fears.

   

  Well done everyone!
  
  P.S. There are a lot more pictures (and some videos) on our school Facebook page.

  We've had a fab time at our lunchtime street party today to celebrate the Queens 90th Birthday.

There was even a visit from some members of the Royal Family!
