On 22nd February members of the Scout and Guiding movement celebrate Founder’s Day, or Thinking Day. Pupils (and staff) were invited to wear their uniforms to school on that day. This was the birthday of Robert Baden-Powell founder of the scout movement. Durham has Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Guides, Brownies and Rainbows, can you spot their uniforms on the photographs?
They all wore their uniforms with pride!

The School Choir at Christmas, December 2017…
The Choir have been very busy this year, the photo shows the practising Christmas songs. They have performed at St Cuthbert’s Church (a collaborative event with Durham Young Musicians), Lindisfarne Care Home (in our local community) and finally at Sainsbury’s Supermarket (raising funds for school). Well done to the children who all volunteer and sing in their own time after school. They have certainly brought joy and happiness to many people this Christmas. Finally many thanks to Mrs McGuire and Mrs Grabham for the coaching and guidance they have given the group.

What an exciting day we had at school when Mrs Hamill who is a parent, governor and linguist came to spend the day with our classes speaking French. The children also sang French songs and learnt about French culture and customs.
Each class learnt greetings in French. Reception Class also learnt how to ask how someone was feeling “ça va?” They sung Frère Jacques. Year 1 learnt colours, their song was L’arc enciel. Year 2 learnt numbers, their song was Meunier Tu Dors. Year 3 learnt about ages, their song was Bonjour! Je Me Presént. Year 4 learnt about methods of transport and how French children travel to school, their song was Si Tu Aimes Parler Français. Year 5 learnt about the planets in French and their song was Alouette. Finally Year 6 will now be accomplished at ordering a drink in a French café and their song was Savez-vous Planter les Choux?
