Thank you to everyone who took part in our colour run on Friday, and to everyone who generously donated to such an important cause.

We have raised £988.50 for the UN World Food Programme, which is a tremendous feat in such a short space of time. Thank you! 💚

The pupils in Year 3 have been learning about Indian religion. Following a very enjoyable visit to @dulearning Oriental Museum, where they handed objects, explored the gallery and made their own diva pots, they have continued their studies in school.

During Earth Week, we learnt about some of the problems which single use plastics can cause. The pupils in Pre-Prep and Prep made a commitment to reduce the amount of plastic they used in their daily lives. These pledges were written on hands which were made into a tree. https://t.co/wuIE4sFHyx

Despite the misty start, the pupils in Years 4 and 5 have had a fantastic day in Bamburgh. They have explored the castle and village, learnt about Grace Darling and found time to play on the beach. A lovely end to the day celebrating one pupil’s birthday.
