Have a look at some of the fun activities we get up to in Team Cherry
Music with Dr Renwick
What a great Music lesson today with Dr Renwick! We had so much fun exploring timbre and long and short sounds 😀
Wellbeing Wednesday
We had some cuddles with our three special visitors Sausage, Mouse and Twinkle to boost our wellbeing 😀💕
World Book Day
Visit to Durham Cathedral – Saint Cuthbert
We has a fantastic day exploring the different areas of the cathedral including the shrine of St Cuthbert. We had fun designing our own stained glass windows based on St Cuthbert’s life!
English – Poems to Perform
We’ve been working really hard in groups in English to add actions and expression to our performance of ‘Hand on the Bridge’ by Michael Rosen. Top teamwork, Team Cherry! 😀
As we reach the end of this busy and joyful term, Team Cherry would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The children have worked so hard and we are so proud of everything they have achieved. Thank you for your continued support, encouragement and kindness, it makes such a difference to our school community. We hope your holidays are filled with laughter, love, and plenty of festive cheer. We look forward to welcoming the children back in January (6th), ready for another exciting term together.
With warmest wishes,
Team Cherry xxx
Christmas Performance – That’s a Wrap!
That’s a wrap! Team Cherry have recorded our DVD of The Nativity 😊

🎄 Sammy the Elf Returns! 🎄
Our festive visitors are getting out of control! 🤣
Team Cherry were very excited to find Sammy the Elf waiting with some VERY special post .😀🎅🏼
Lots of drama in Team Cherry as when we arrived in class, there was no sign of Sammy the elf! The children have been very busy making Wanted posters and investigating where he could be!
English – Commands
We had fun in English using commands to help us make Bonfire Apples. We’ll be sequencing the steps to write our own instructions! 🙂
Art – Patterns With Nature
In art we went outside to explore and collect things that caught our eye around our school environment. We gathered the objects and took them back to class and explored composition and arrangements on paper and table tops. The children played around with the objects to create shapes, patterns using things like twigs, & leaves
Once happy with their composition the children took a photo for their sketchbooks.
Halloween Disco
We had a spook-tacular time at our Halloween Disco! 👻 🎃
Kurling & Bocchia Festival
What a fun time at the Kurling & Bocchia festival! Children have enjoyed a carousel of activities in their teams 😀
English – The Last Wolf, Wanted Posters
Team Cherry worked hard to write WANTED posters based on our new core text, ‘The Last Wolf’.
We’re very excited to see what’s going to happen next in the story!
Computing – Digital Paintings
We’ve been hard at work in Team Cherry creating digital paintings in Computing.
The children have loved this activity! If they’d like to practise more at home, we’ve been using https://paintz.app
Meet our School Councillors
Following a very exciting election, say hello to our new School Councillors as voted for by their classmates.
Rocksteady Music
Team Cherry enjoyed a fantastic, fun workshop with Rock Steady Music! We loved creating our class band ‘The Rockstars’ and had so much fun singing & clapping along and playing the instruments.
Forest School
Fun in our Forest School garden working as a team to build an obstacle course and enjoying campfire chants & songs in our circle! 😀
