Last week our challenge was to create a clay boat that floated. Today our challenge was to use 10 pieces of Lego to create a model. We then had to collaborate with our partner and support them to create the same model with their own pieces of Lego. Super work Year Three! ... See MoreSee Less

It was great to have Matthew in schoool to promote Junior Parkrun yesterday. We took part in a warm up and heard all about the great benefits of running!This morning we visited Thornhill Primary School Shildon for our next parkrun assembly. The students asked some great questions. Especially the one about dogs which hasn’t been mentioned before. Just to confirm to all, we aren’t allowed dogs in the park except assistance dogs. This isn’t a parkrun rule, it’s a rule for the park overall. Looking forward to seeing some Thornhill students on a Sunday morning! ... See MoreSee Less
