Water Safety in the Curriculum

As you know, just before we broke up for the Summer break we were faced with the sad news of Matthew Sherrington, a former pupil of our school, who tragically lost his life whilst playing in the sea with some friends. Our thoughts continue to be with his family who have been campaigning for more awareness of the dangers of playing in or near the sea. As a school, we support this campaign and have adapted our PHSE curriculum to include water safety lessons every half term. The children will take part in regular age appropriate lessons, and we have also sent some information on water safety to all our parents. We agree that it is our duty to educate our children who live close to the sea about its potential dangers, and hope that such an education may help to prevent any further tragedies in the future.

Green Tree Schools Platinum Award

We are incredibly proud to announce that we have been awarded the prestigious Green Tree Schools Platinum Award by the Woodland Trust for getting involved in green activities including tree planting, visiting local woodland, reducing carbon emissions and being a woodland ambassador. We take every opportunity to bring the great outdoors, wildlife and green issues into the classroom.

Here is our well-deserved certificate (see left), and thank you to our Nursery staff for leading on such an important area in our school.

 

Musical Success for Blackhall Bluebells

Our nursery continues to work closely with leading specialists from Durham Music Service.

Over the last few weeks, we have explored the story ‘Greta and the Giants.’ The book tells the story of Noble Peace Prize nominee Greta Thunburg, inspiring children to believe that ‘no-one is too small to make a difference.’ The story was promoted as part of Durham’s book festival ‘The little read.’ Durham Music Service were extremely keen to share our musical ‘provocations’ (ideas to provoke a musical response) on their Facebook Live.

We are extremely proud of how much our children have progressed over the last two years and thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our children’s achievements. (Especially as we were the only nursery in the whole of the county to be chosen to share our work!!!). Here is the link to County Durham Early Years Facebook Live  https://fb.watch/4rej3VzbFT/   which was then liked and shared by Durham County Councils early years educators Helen Nixon and Sue Rounce: https://fb.watch/4rej3VzbFT/
You can find out more on our Nursery Class Page and watch our powerpoint slides which explain what we did, how we did it and the impact on our children’s learning and progress.
 

Arts Council Award

We are very excited to announce that we have achieved the Artsmark Gold Award, awarded to us by the Arts council of England.

This means that as a school community we have worked together to promote arts and culture in our values and ethos, engaged our children with the arts, embedded a diverse  curriculum with lots of cultural opportunities, developed all of our staff and ensured equality and diversity for all.

We are determined to keep building on this success and offer our pupils ever increasing cultural capital.

Thank you to all of our parents, carers, governors and friends of the school – we couldn’t have done it without you! And congratulations to Arts Lead Mrs Sergeant and all of our hard working and inspirational staff team.
