They have looked at different types of bridges and the different shapes that bridges use to make them strong. Their end task was to create a strong bridge using paper, masking tape and art straws.

Hamsterley Primary School Do you like the sound of rain? This afternoon in Science, Reception have been exploring the sounds that a rainstick makes. The rainstick made us feel clam, peaceful and happy. We then used materials to make our own rainstick and painted them.

St. John's Chapel Primary School This week in forest school, whilst enjoying the welcome sunshine, the children were busy making rubbings of bark and leaves. Of course, no forest school session is complete without an edible element and this week's choice of caramelised apple slices was a big hit!

St John's Chapel Primary School The children in EYFS have been enjoying the sunshine this week

Happy Easter! To celebrate Easter and recognise the hard work our pupils have put in this term, we are thrilled to announce a generous donation of Easter eggs from Aldi Darlington! Aldi's commitment to community partnerships is truly commendable, and we are delighted that they chose our schools for this special occasion. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Aldi Darlington for their generous contribution, which reflects their understanding of the importance of supporting local schools. Thanks to Aldi, each child in our federation will enjoy an Easter egg over the holidays. Happy Easter to all!
