On Wednesday the children performed a selection of Christmas Carols and songs from their Christmas plays.
Thank you to all those who joined us.
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 .
Thank you to all those who came to support our coffee morning we raised £170.57 and a huge thank you to Lynne for baking the lovely cakes in support of this good cause. It was lovely to see so many supporting this event and the School Council members did an amazing job !
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.
At Butterknowle we are warming up this Monday morning with the Joe Wicks workout. What a great way to start the day! It is a shame that Mr Adams and Mrs Marshall are just out of shot.
Along with home schooling we have had such fun playing in the snow, feeding the birds and pheasant that always returns and sledging.
Every month throughout the Winter I will be doing a cold water swim either in a lake, river or in the sea. I am doing this to raise money for people with dementia. The charity is called Dementia Adventure and it helps people with dementia to connect with the great outdoors which helps them to enjoy their lives more.
