Woodland Primary Today the Squirrels visited their local church, St Mary's, to see what we could see and hear. We went on a treasure hunt to see which common features of a church we could find in our church. After that, Reverent Lloyd told us about what the different features of the church are used for and why they are positioned in certain places within the church. He also told us some interesting facts about the church, like how it is one of only a few tin churches left in the world. It was also once a church in a different part of the world before being erected in Woodland, where it has proudly stood for over 120 years. Where it originally stood, however, is now lost to the sands of time.

Hamsterley Primary Today in Cookery Club, we embraced the cozy vibes of autumn by creating a delicious, warming vegetable soup using lots of seasonal produce! The children rose to the challenge of chopping some very tough veggiesand did so with great enthusiasm and teamwork. The kitchen was filled with the comforting smells of roasted roots and herbs, and everyone is excited to taste the fruits of their labour! A perfect way to welcome the season. Well done, chefs!

Butterknowle Primary School Children in Nursery and Reception harvested the potatoes and courgettes they had planted in the spring. Today, they used them for printing and, as always, enjoyed getting really messy! They are looking forward to cooking and tasting the rest tomorrow.

Children in Key Stage 1 at Butterknowle were so excited to receive a video call on Teams from their friends at Woodland and Frosterley schools. They asked each other questions such as 'What did you have for lunch?' and 'What are your teachers called?' The children have been learning about methods of communication, both past and present, and it was great to experience this first hand.
