Thank you to our Year 5 Parents and Carers!
Now that we are half way through the school year, we would like to extend our sincere thanks for your support and contributions towards the many wonderful experiences our Year 5 children have benefited from this year so far. We know that enriching experiences in primary school play a vital role in inspiring curiosity, broadening horizons, and nurturing essential skills, helping children make meaningful connections between their learning and potential future careers.
From school visits to visitors and workshops, your involvement has helped create lasting memories and valuable learning opportunities for our children. The children have enjoyed a range of enriching experiences including a visit to Broom House Farm, HMRC tax facts workshops, Spanish taster sessions with Lingotots, Marathon Kids with Nike, Tolkien's Durham University Maths Day, Hoopstarz sessions, skipping workshops, Yoga sessions, workshops with Adam Bushnell (our local author and storyteller), a visit to Bowes Museum and Hamsterley Forest, Peter Pan Pantomime at East Durham College, PULSE contemporary dance sessions and Dogs Trust workshops. Your support has made these enriching experiences possible and have been invaluable in broadening our children’s learning. Take a look at our class webpages to see how much our children enjoy these experiences
We truly appreciate your time, generosity, and encouragement. Thank you for being such an integral part of our school family! With your continued support we look forward to the experiences we have planned for our children during the rest of this school year.

What our children have said about enrichment this term:
In English, we were learning about women in Science. Mrs Caygill came into our class to talk to us about being a scientist. We asked her questions about her past career - Libby
We went to Broom House farm because in Geography we learnt about where food came from. It was interesting to find out where food comes from - Alice
When the Spanish visitor came, he taught us how to say the weather. We did active movements to describe them - Poppy
Beth made yoga fun because it wasn’t just poses. She did active games too - Esme
I loved it when the PCSO visited. It was helpful to find out how to be safe when walking home - Anna
