Please see attached flyer from Barnard Castle Rugby Club. Coaches from the club will be running after school sessions at school in the last half term. Why not give it a go?
Summer Term
A reminder that Summer Term starts on Monday 24th April. I look forward to seeing you all then.
Happy Easter
It has been another fantastic term! The children have worked hard, behaved very well and produced some excellent work. We have had two superb class assemblies from Classes 2 and 3. We have had several great sporting events such as a the swimming gala, netball, multi-skills and football! The Junior Education Programme with Class 4 taught the children really important lessons in citizenship. We’ve had too many visits and visitors to mention but the curriculum that our teachers plan is very engaging and on the last day I witnessed a pretend battle between the Romans of Class 3 and the Vikings of Class 4. Both were using shields they created as part of their topics and battle formations. I think it ended in a honourable draw!
Happy Easter!

Welcome Back
Happy New Year to you all! I hope you had a lovely break and that your children are refreshed and ready for the new term. They arrived this morning looking smart and as I went around the classes there was a lovely atmosphere with children sharing their news.
We have many exciting events planned this term and I will keep you updated via the newsletter. The first of which starts today, with Years 3-6 getting to work with Musikality, our talented musical teachers. It will help us build on the lovely work that already goes on in school and the children are very lucky to work with specialist Sports Coaches and now Music Specialists. I look forward to seeing how all their talents develop this year.
