Today, Year 6 finally got to experience their activity day that had been cancelled before due to bad weather. We had a go at some activities on the beach. We found some interesting rocks, shells and creatures and examined them under a microscope to see all of the individual parts and layers. We made some beach art and made up some funny stories to go with our work....

The sun shone for today’s skipping session with Gail. The children upped their game from last year, trying brand new, more difficult skills. Working together in pairs, the children created a butterfly with the skips before jumping the big rope with Miss Scarr and Gail. As always, the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we can’t wait to see the new moves we are challenged with next year when Gail returns.

This morning, Year 2 shared a Celebration of the Word about St Peter and St Paul with their parents. They all did an amazing job and we were so impressed. Some children stood up and read the lines for children who were absent - a very brave thing to do. After that, with the help of parents, we created a stained glass window based on the ones at the Basilica of St Peter and Paul. Well done to Year 2 and a huge thank you to all of the parents who came.

With the sun shining, OPAL play has been in full swing. The children have thoroughly enjoyed dressing up, drawing with the chalks and digging in the dinosaur world tuff trays. The children's imaginations have been running wild and as staff, love to see the children flourish in creativity and independence.

Year 4 walked down to Seaham beach today to look at the formation of the cliffs and features of the beach. We have been studying the topic of coasts as part of our Geography topic. We were quite lucky with the weather and found some caves and groynes as well as lots of different rocks and pebbles that had been deposited on our beach....
