Throughout this week, the children have engaged with various activities promoting a love of reading. We’ve had virtual story times, a virtual quiz, an online I-spy twenty characters and a very funny tongue twister competition! On Thursday, the children dressed up as their favourite character from a book – we had Cedric Diggory, Minion, Darth Vader, Stanley Ipkiss and the Karate Kid to mention a few. The children (and staff) thoroughly enjoyed trying to guess “The Masked Reader”.

Thank you to everyone for taking part in the virtual activities – we hope you had lots of fun!

Team Amethyst enjoyed a full day out at The Hub, Barnard Castle. We learned about the recording industry and how the hardware and software works under the expert guidance of Tom, Music Coordinator at The Hub. We then recorded our favourite songs and instrumental arrangements onto CD. The CD is available to purchase from school. We hope you enjoy listening to our music as much as we enjoyed creating it!

On Tuesday 12th November, Reverend Bruce presented the children with new Bibles during assembly.

The Stanhope Methodist Church have given us five copies of “The Lion Children’s Bible” and two copies of “The Good News Bible”. This will enhance our R.E work, especially the KS2 topic “Learning about Jesus”.

Thank you very much Reverend Bruce.
