Football Coaching
We went to the Alun Armstrong Soccer Centre and were trained by an FA coach. We learned new skills and played some games. At the end we met a mascot and were all awarded a certificate.
Safer Internet Day

Some children also used the iPad to learn about how to use the internet safely and not to share any personal details online.

We then tried to make it change direction and then we moved on to the more complicated maps. We are now programming experts!
Durham Cathedral
Year 2 enjoyed their visit to Durham Cathedral. They had a guided tour and found out about the life of St. Cuthbert. They got dressed up and acted out some significant scenes from his life.

Each class teacher set their children some interesting activities such as finding out who had stolen the attendance display, chromatography tests and solving maths problems. There was an uproar on day 1 when the children were told that a chicken had been stolen…
