Music at the Heart of Teesdale started the first of five workshops on Longsword Dancing. The children learnt to feel the rhythm of the music, culminating in sword beating and the sword lock.
“It was great to hold up the finished star.” Hannah
“I really enjoyed it when you pulled the swords out at the end.” Harry
The children had a great day celebrating World Book Day. They completed lots of different activities whilst dressed up as a character from a book.
On Monday 14th January we joined the children from St John’s Chapel, Rookhope, Frosterley and Wearhead for a Kurling and Boccia Festival. We took part in a range of activities to develop our skills and aiming with control.
Children and staff along with parents, governors and friends enjoyed Christmas lunch together and it was a huge success once again. The food was delicious thanks to Lynn and the children received presents which Santa had dropped off earlier.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!!
Getting ready to share our Christmas lunch with everyone!!
Merry Christmas!
On Friday 29th November we were privileged with a visit from ‘Cream Tees.’ Cream Tees are a youth folk band which was formed in 2012 as part of the Music at the Heart of Teesdale project. They play instruments ranging from the cello to the flute. We were lucky enough to have our very own private concert and the children thought they were fantastic enjoying the toe tapping music and even got up to dance.
Today, 15th November, the children enjoyed a day packed with Pudsey Bear fun!! They took part in a sponsored walk (100 laps of the school field) enjoyed Face Timing St John’s Chapel Primary so they could be involved in the raffle and hot chocolate with squirty cream and marshmallows to round off the day.
All in aid of raising money for Children in Need!!
Well done everyone!!!
Today, the 11th November, we celebrate and remember those who gave their lives and are still giving their lives in the present day as conflicts still happen around the world.
We had an assembly and looked at the plaque we have in school for those who fell and returned from our local area in The Great War and also from World War II. At 11 o’clock we held a 2 minutes silence as a sign of respect to those brave soldiers.
Lest we forget.
Today, Tuesday 21st October, we had a visit from the fire fighters based in Middleton in Teesdale. Some of our Little Forest Friends joined in the fun too.
