Across the school, pupils’ English lessons are currently based on ‘The Snowman’, by Raymond Briggs. Due to the heavy snowfall, pupils in Class 6 made their very own snowman. In their English lesson, they then had to write a set of instructions, using the subjunctive voice, to explain how to build a perfect snowman. They then made their instructions into an iMovie.
Turkey Trot
Wednesday 6th December, Class 6, along with the rest of the school, participated in a ‘Turkey Trot’ with Rob Proud. The school made a donation to a local charity, the Angel Trust, due to the pupils’ participation. The event involved a fitness instructor, Rob Proud, dressed as a turkey, and pupils, also dressed in turkey headdresses, to complete a variety of fitness dances. A great time was had by all.

Parent Governor Elections
Parent Governor Elections
The governors are delighted to have 4 applicants who would like to join our governing body. As there are only 2 vacancies we are holding a private ballot. All parents should receive a text with a link to Microsoft Forms.
Please note: Each parent of a registered pupil of the school will be allowed to vote. Irrespective of the number of their children who are registered pupils at the school, each parent will only be allowed one vote. The Headteacher will therefore ensure that where more than one member of a family attends the school only two votes are accepted from that family.
Please contact the school office if your contact details aren’t up to date and you haven’t received a text.

Hamsterley Forest Visit
Class 6 have been learning all about forests in geography. They recently went on a class trip to Hamsterley Forest. During a 4km walk, the children gathered and collected data, based on their pre-planned field study. Some children collected evidence relating to the reason people visit the forest, others looked at the tree species or wildlife. After a busy day collecting data, they finished it off with a picnic, on the bus, and played on the climbing frame.
See the video for the work produced by the children, processing and presenting their geographical data using Keynote.
