• Ski Trip Update

  Fri 31 Jan 2025

  As we wind down ready for the weekend, the ski trip fun continues with a final push until their return on Sunday. Last night, DJ Lomas shared some tunes which were enjoyed by all. Mrs Fish reports that their skiing ability is astounding and this year, we have some tremendous athletes. 
   

  We look forward to seeing them on Monday. They’ll be exhausted!

• P5 Finding out more about the Eucharist (Holy Communion).

  Thu 16 Jan 2025 Mrs Fish

  Today the children visited church four their RE lesson. They stood in the sanctuary around the alter and lit the two candles. 

  Reverend Brentnall explained why people partake in Holy Communion - a service of thanks and forgiveness.

  The children tried some wafers (bread) which represents the body of Christ and took a sip of blackcurrant (wine) which represents the blood of Christ. 

  There was some time for questions and the children made links to The Passover and The Last Supper. 

  

• Zozo comes to play!

  Thu 16 Jan 2025 Mrs Fish

  Today, Zozo joined us to help support the teaching of Djembe drumming to P5. As he’d travelled such a long way to be with us, he also offered some story telling to the reception children as well as a lesson to P4.

  Zozo taught beat and rhythm and showed the children how to play high and low sounds on a drum. The children danced and sang some Zulu songs. There are some videos on the music section of the website and some wonderful pictures below. The children really enjoyed their afternoon! 

  

• Robo-dog visits DBS

  Wed 15 Jan 2025

  On Wednesday 15th January we had a visit from “Robo Dog”. Mrs Lester from Crea-Tech kindly brought in this wonderful robot. The children had great fun discovering how “Robo Dog” moved and could be used. We found out in the industrial world the robotic dog performs inspections and gathers data at construction/manufacturing sites and nuclear plants such as Sellafield. It was amazing to see how the sensors enabled the Robo Dog to move around anything within its reach. Will we see some of our students pursuing a career within this kind of profession in the future?
