MAKING A DIFFERENCE
SPINE TINGLING SINGING
On Wednesday 18th October our school choir took
part in a singing festival held at St. Nicholas’ Church
in Guisborough. Other schools taking part included
Zetland Primary and Lakes Primary from Redcar and
Mill Lane Primary from Stockton.
It was a fabulous feast of music performed in a
beautiful building. Our school choir were wonderful,
singing ‘Everglow’ by Coldplay and the much loved
hymn, ‘Be Still For The Presence Of The Lord’. Our
thanks go to the amazing school choir and their
musical director, Mrs Taylor. Bravo!
Our Year 2 children visited Beamish Museum to support
their history topic this month. They have been learning
about how much houses and household items have
changed since Victorian times. During their time at
Beamish, the children experienced what it was like to
live during Victorian times. They even went to school and
were taught by a Victorian school teacher, who was
super strict!

HISTORY COMES TO LIFE
The children in Year 3 have been learning about
what it was like to live in Britain during the Second
World War. To support their learning they visited
Ormesby Hall. They were all evacuated to the
Pennyman House. Whilst there they learnt how to
make do and mend: sewing on buttons, darning
socks, knitting and balling wool from old jumpers.
They learnt all about rationing and found out about
the job of an Air Raid Warden, hiding in the
shelter during an air raid!
