As part of our careers related learning in school, Year 4 were given the opportunity to engage with a local employer in Hartlepool. The company is Wates Group, a large construction company, who are building the new Highlight Active Wellbeing Hub in Hartlepool.
As part of this encounter, ...Year 4 pupils learnt about careers in construction and pathways into the sector through activities on site at the new Wellbeing Hub. The activities were designed to break down the misconceptions of working in the construction industry whilst highlighting the exciting opportunities and diversity in roles available, as well as promoting STEM subjects, linking these to construction activities. The visit allowed children to experience first-hand what a multi-million-pound construction development site looks like whilst also learning from an inspiring construction organisation and its leaders about career paths and other topics including biodiversity, planning, quality, teamwork, and sustainability.
In Science, in Year 1, we have been learning about the weather. Yesterday, the children made their very own wind socks. A wind sock helps people know if the wind is strong and which direction it is blowing. Great fun was had by all!

www.northeastjobs.org.ukYear 5 have had a wonderful day at Cummins Ltd in Darlington. They were extremely privileged to be invited to the site and are only the second school who have been able to visit and see the workshop and facilities.
Mr Ainsley then worked with the children to improve their Lego skills, building... moving trucks and a sailboat.
The children were all very well behaved and we definitely have some future engineers in our school!
Well done!
Class 14 really enjoyed leading their class worship this morning. Thank you to everyone who came!
Class 3 had a very busy week last week.
In Maths, they have been learning about part-whole models and making number sentences.
On Tuesday, they performed a Science investigation to find out which material would be the best for making a raincoat. They also found a letter from Baby ...Bear asking for a new rocket to get to the moon. Baby Bear is from the story Whatever Next. The children had a great time making the rocket and decorating it.
And on Thursday they were learning about baptisms. The children acted out the parts of the Vicar, the parents, the Godparents and the congregation.
Amazing work Class 3!
Yesterday was our 4th week with Go Well and the children's gymnastics skills are really improving. Today they played a variety of different games to warm up and then worked in groups to practise their balancing skills. Well done Class 12.
