Enrichment and Enjoyment 2023-2024
Our vice captains led the house captain assembly, asking the children for suggestions of what they would like inside and outside of school. The boys will then take these suggestions and discuss them with Mrs Smith.
Jaguars have had a lovely morning visiting All Saints Church this morning. We took part in their Easter in a Box workshop where we explored the Easter story using props and crafts.
Megan from Chartwells came to help teach Y6 how to make bread. They kneaded the dough and then shaped it forming plaits, flowers and the letters of their names. Thank you to Megan for all her help.
Blurb – Y6 started their cooking sessions at Framwellgate Moor Comprehensive School making an apple crumble. The children made their crumble before chopping apples and carefully laying them in the tins ready to cook. Next week, its pizza twirls!
On Tuesday, musicians from Durham Music Services came into school and performed a Christmas Brass Concert for KS1 & KS2. The performance was fantastic and they made it really fun for the children, they thoroughly enjoyed it.

On Tuesday 3rd October PCSO’s Kirsty and Steve visited school to lead an assembly. They explained to the children what a ‘Day in the Life’ of a PCSO was like and discussed the types of duties they carry out.
Year 6 continued their Walk n Talk sessions with Darren. This week they walked in their groups discussing answers to certain questions from Darren based around working as a team. The group then put these answers to the test in teambuilding exercises.
Alex Dewar came to start off our Walk n Talk sessions. Alex came to talk about his time in the army, his injury and his time competing in the Invictus games. After this, he took the children for some team building games where the children had to communicate with each other well to complete them. Darren from SSP will continue to take them for Walk n Talk sessions for the rest of the term.
