Destination Judo have worked with all of the classes to give them a taster of Judo. The children experienced some of the skills needed and worked hard in this session.

Class 4 carried out some investigative work. They all took on the role of Roman soldier and took turns, in their learning teams, to spy on the Greek soldier and feed back to their army. They had to be resilient, focused, listen well and be able to feed back their information confidently in order for team members to draw what they described.

Zoolab, a company that specialises in animal handling experiences, came into school and worked with each class. The children experienced a range of different animals and even got to hold some. They were very brave!

Class 4 were invited to take part in the ‘Litre of Light’ project for Durham’s Lumiere Festival 2015. Local artist Mick Stephenson has been commissioned to build an installation for Durham Cathedral Cloisters. It will be a rose window made up of 2 litre bottles. We have completed ours and they will be added to the display.

The children created their own Andy Warhol inspired ‘Pop Art’ picture by manipulating pictures of themselves. They used chalk and felt-tip pens to create the effect.

This was the final result…

We had a great day at Locomotion! The children learned about how trains have changed over the last 150 years. We also focused on our famous inventor, George Stephenson, and we even got to see how to drive a steam train.

We visited the Salvation Army in the village to learn about what they do and to try out a few of their instruments. We made some great noises!
