In art this afternoon, Class 2 looked at aboriginal symbols and how we could use the symbols to tell a story. The children worked very hard and could tell their story from using the symbols.

Wearable Technology Class 3 have had a busy afternoon in DT. The children have designed and created an E-Pouch for a Micro-Bit to fit inside. They will be able to take their pouches home next week. Another great unit from @kapowprimary

It was a pleasure to host the first year B Ed students today for a Forest School experience. Den building, whittling, peg doll making & toasting marshmallows, a fantastic opportunity for our children to demonstrate their learning. ⁦⁦@durham_uni⁩

Class 4 did some local field study work on the fell today. They spent some time sketching and discussing the geography and history of our local area. They talked about mining, railways and so much more and demonstrated real knowledge and understanding and excellent behaviour.
