Frosterley Primary School Today our EYFS and KS1 children took the time to remember the fallen in their own special way. While our KS2 made the walk to the village, our younger children remained in school, taking part in their own moments of reflection and remembrance. A lovely opportunity for all children to understand the importance of remembering those who gave so much. We will remember them. 🌺

At Woodland today, we had lots of fun at Stay and Play. We painted, built things, role played and used playdough to make some poppies. Thank you to everybody who joined us it was lovely to see you all!

Wearhead Primary School Today, our children gathered at the village War Memorial to take part in a special Remembrance Service. Together, they learned about the significance of the memorial and reflected on the names of the local people who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of their country. The children listened thoughtfully to the moving poem In Flanders Fields and joined in a prayer to remember and honour those who lost their lives in times of conflict. It was a meaningful opportunity to learn about the importance of remembrance and to show respect for those who served. Back at school, the children enjoyed some delicious poppy biscuits, lovingly made by members of our after-school Cookery Club. Yesterday, the biscuits were carefully decorated, with older children helping and encouraging the younger ones, demonstrating our school values of kindness, teamwork and community. We are incredibly proud of the respectful manner in which all of the children participated throughout the day. Lest we forget.

Wearhead Primary School Class 1 became local explorers as we learned all about our community and the journeys we make every day! The children looked at aerial photographs, maps and pictures of local landmarks, sharing the places they recognised and discussing their favourite places to visit. We talked about the routes we take to school and the different buildings and landmarks we pass along the way. Using large sheets of paper and felt-tip pens, the children then created their own maps showing their journey to school. They carefully added landmarks, roads and labels to help describe their route. Finally, everyone had the opportunity to share their map and talk through their journey with the class. We were so impressed with the children's map-making skills, observation and confidence when explaining their routes. Well done, Class 1!

Butterknowle Class 1 have been looking at the Christmas story. The children ordered the story and then drew their part on the yard.

St John's Chapel and Wearhead Little Chefs in Key Stage 1! 🍎 On Friday as part of our DT work, our Key Stage 1 pupils rolled up their sleeves and explored the wonderful world of food preparation! The children took turns trying out different ways to prepare food, then put their senses to the test by tasting their creations and describing the flavours, crunch, and textures.

The children in class two showed their own interpretation of God by drawing their own images. We were considering the question 'What does it mean if God is holy and loving?' and how that might look. The children produced some beautiful work that they should be very proud of.

Butterknowle Class 1 began their DT topic by looking at different foods. We discussed the source, deciding whether it was plants or animals.
