Some of our Year 6 children have participated in the ‘Arts Award.’ They have achieved so much in such a short period of time and have created some amazing masterpieces. There are definitely some future artists in Year 6. Well done to everyone involved!
 

This week, some of our Year 4 children performed at Durham Cathedral with other schools from the Bishop Chadwick Trust. They did an outstanding job and represented St James fantastically. We are extremely proud of you all and it really was two nights that we will never forget.

Year 3 had a fantastic time on their ‘Sahara Survival Day’ on Wednesday. The children, in teams, has to build tepees, cross over the deadly desert, dress appropriately for a sand storm and finally complete a water children. I’m pleased to say that they all survived to tell the tale. Thank you to Kev and Heather from ‘Team Challenge Adventures.’

We had a brilliant day for Sports Day this year. All of the children demonstrated great sportsmanship and support for their peers. It was great to have family and friends here too for the experience. A big thank you to Mr Monaghan for organising such a fantastic day!

Year 6 had a brilliant time visiting Nissan. They learnt all about engineering and the manufacturing of Nissan cars – they even met an artistic robot!

Year 6 attended a trip in Newcastle this week and learnt all about the emergency services and fire safety.

Year 6 had a brilliant time at Robinwood recently. From action adventures to water sports activities – a fantastic time was had by all.

Year 3 had a brilliant time exploring and investigating rivers on their trip. They carried out practical conservation work and did lots of wildlife spotting.

We are so lucky that ‘3Sixty Bicycle Stunt Team’ came to perform for us last week. They showed us some amazing stunts and blew everyone away with their performance. However, poor Dom was a bit shocked when he had to participate in one of their stunts. Thank you to ‘3Sixty Bicycle Stunt Team’ for coming to visit St James!
