What our children in Year 5 say about curriculum enrichment this term...
We went to see Matilda the Musical at the cinema. It was very good and everyone enjoyed it (Isla)
When we visited the Discovery Museum, we looked at inventions and things people used to use (Isla and Grace)
Rosie and Tyler from the County Durham Mini Police team visited us and we learnt about the police, what they do, all about their vehicles and also what anti-social behaviour is. It was super fun and I think every school should have this
During our Quidditch day, I liked how we got to use a broom and I wish we could have played for longer
In October, we visited Weardale for our residential. We did lots of activities including archery, high ropes and canoeing. I liked all of our visit and I wouldn't change anything - it was perfect (Rori-Ellen)
There were lots of activities I enjoyed during residential: leap of faith, rock climbing, raft building, camp fire and nightline (Nathan)
Firefighters from Spennymoor Fire Station visited us to talk about fire safety. We learnt about responsibilities and skills as well as some of the dangerous jobs they have to do. The visit was great (Brandon). We learnt about fireworks, sparklers, how dangerously hot they are and stop, drop and roll. I think this visit was very useful now and in later life (Oliver)
We visited Whitworth Academy where we had maths and history lessons. I enjoyed learning about Richard III (Poppy). My favourite part was the quiz (Ethan)
