 Easter Service

Well done to all those children involved in the Tag Rugby Festival which was held at Wolsingham School on Thursday 8th October. Our Year 5/6 team played brilliantly and managed to come second overall. A team from Year 3/4 also competed in a number of friendly matches and did extremely well, especially as many children had not even played before this term.

Our Rugby Club will continue to train with the Bishop Auckland Rugby Club first team coach after school. The club is open to all junior children for the small charge of 50p. From 15th October, training will take place on Thursdays rather than Wednesdays, 3.15 - 4.15pm.

Welcome back to school for the Autumn Term. We have lots going on in this busy term, including a creative week focussing on Africa, a Harvest Festival, a celebration of the European Day of Languages where we'll learn all about Spain and of course our usual exciting Christmas activities.

New clubs for the first half term are as follows:

Monday - Multi Skills Club for Years 3,4,5,6

Tuesday - Fun and Fitness Club  for Reception, Years 1-2 and their parents! 

Wednesday - Tag Rugby Club, coached by BARUFC, for Years 3,4,5,6

Friday - Football Club, coached by Soccer King coach, for Years 1-6

We'll also have our football league matches, as well as the annual netball and tag rugby festivals.

Well done to children in Years 5 and 6 who recently passed their Cycling Proficiency Course!

Congratulations to Daniel of Year 5 who recently won the Boys' Shot Putt Competition at the County Athletics Finals, held at Shildon on Friday 3rd July. Well done!

All our children took part in a creative 'Healthy Me' week last week, which they thoroughly enjoyed. We learned all about the importance of keeping healthy through keeping fit and having a healthy diet. Lots of different sports were tried, including cricket, golf, basketball, dance, tennis and football. Children also designed and made a healthy snack as well as sampling lots of different fruits and vegetables. They listened to a talk about nutrition from our school dinners provider. The local police visited and explained to children how to keep safe and healthy during the summer holidays. We also welcomed a visitor from HSBC who held workshops with children to help them keep their finances healthy! Thanks to all those involved in organising the week.

We celebrated Easter this year with an Easter service in the Chapel in Howden. We raised £50 for the Howden le Wear Parent and Toddler Group. Thankyou to all those people who attended! Pictured are two Year 6 children presenting the cheque. The Friends of the School also arranged an Easter Egg Hunt for the children which they thoroughly enjoyed. The photo shows the lucky winners!
