Enrichment Activities

 

Mindfulness

Article 29  – Education must develop every child’s personality, talent and abilities to the full.

Jenny visited our school and worked with every class over two days. She delivered a workshop on MINDFULNESS and taught us some useful     techniques to control our minds in a variety of different situations. We learnt about our breathing, the helping hand and how to cope in challenging situations.

Botanic Gardens – June

Article 29– Every child has the right to an education

We visited the Botanic Gardens in Durham to explore how plants reproduce and how they adapt to their habitats and climates. Mike, the head gardener, took us on a tour of the grounds before guiding us through the green houses and revealing their secrets!

Last year in Year 4 our class was involved in an arts project at Low Barns. We created images and wrote expressive sentences about Low Barns. In February, this year, we were invited to the grand opening of the bird hide at Low Barns where our work would be displayed!
