As our first family challenge, we are setting the monumental task of walking, running or cycling the 272 mile / 438 kilometre distance from DELVES LANE PRIMARY all the way to BUCKINGHAM PALACE!!!!

This huge challenge will most certainly need the help of all our children, parents and school staff if it is to succeed and here’s what we need you to do…

Throughout this week, record any walks, runs or bike rides you go on as a family and simply email in to school your efforts or share them below in the comments section for this post.

We will keep track of how we are getting on as a school and will update you on our progress as the week goes on. We can’t wait to find out what you get up to and would love to see lots of pictures of the whole family in action, so please send us lots of pictures of you all taking part!

All that’s left to say is good luck and have fun! And, hopefully we’ll make it there in time to pop in for a socially distanced cup of tea with the Queen…

READY… STEADY… GO!!!! 🚶‍♀️ 🏃 🚴‍♀️

This term all our children, from Nursery to Year 6, have been working hard in their PE lessons to compose and perform a dance routine linked to the topics they have been learning about in class and all the children came together this week to perform their dances as part of our annual Dance Festival.

The children had great fun watching their peers perform and clapped and cheer on one another throughout. Once again, they put on a fantastic show with themed performances from Superheros to Space that would rival anything seen on Britain’s Got Talent! A huge well done to all the children who took part.

Take a look below at some of the children in action!

The children in Year 3 had a great time at their dodgeball festival at North Durham Academy. They used the throwing, catching and dodging skills they had been practising in PE fantastically against teams from various other local schools. All of the children showed great teamwork and had lots of fun working together as a team!

Recently, a group of Year 6 pupils took part in the Derwentside Dodgeball Festival at North Durham Academy. The children had a great time competing against pupils from other local schools and performed fantastically throughout. They showed great team spirit cheering on one another and demonstrated excellent sportsmanship and honesty during games. Well done to all the children who took part!
