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.
