On Wednesday after school the football team played a friendly against Woodland. Both teams played well and showed a great deal of perseverance and team work. The final score was 6-2 to Butterknowle. Well done!

On Thursday the children took part in a range of Red nose day activities at lunchtime run by the school council and Mrs Davi Davison.

On Tuesday 14th December the children learnt about Christingle and made their own before Revd. Lloyd came and led a service explaining the connection between Christmas and Christingle .

Bikeability:
This week the Year 4, 5 and 6 children have taken part in bikeability with the Year 4 children completing Level 1, and the Year 5 and 6 children completing Level 2. All children took part on the yard focusing on how to ride their bikes safely and then for Level 2, the Year 5 and 6 children cycled around the village. All the children behaved impeccably and enjoyed their time with the  trainers.

On Friday we said goodbye to our Year 6 Leavers.

We wish them all the best for the future.
