Christmas singing

As always, pupils from KS2 enjoyed singing at Baring Court in the Christmas period. They sang some traditional songs, Christmas classics and also some songs that they will be performing in their Christmas production.

Landscape, nature and the sheep farming year

The Landscape, Nature & the Sheep Farming Year project was a year-long arts, environment and heritage project bringing together four County Durham schools: Blessed John Duckett , Peases West, Stanley Crook and Tow Law Millennium Primary with conservationists, historians and artists.

The project celebrates the natural and working landscape on the ridge between Satley, Tow Law, Stanley Crook and Billy Row in Wear Valley, County Durham.

Participants learnt about elements of local sheep rearing and the Viking heritage of rare breeds. They made artwork using sheep as live ‘models’, learned techniques such as spinning, braiding, felting, and enjoyed taking part in their own ‘Country Fair.’

Our pupils thoroughly enjoyed taking part in this project and we hope you enjoy seeing their work in this flipbook.

Heritage Project

Pupils from Years 4, 5 and 6 took part in an exciting project during Summer 2019. This was a creative writing and local heritage project researching the experiences of the men who fell in the Great War 1914-18 as named on our war memorial as well as studying the impact of the Great War on the Home Front at Tow Law and the local community. This was funded through the Heritage Lottery Fund and facilitated through Building Self-Belief ClO. Many thanks to Peter and Christine Thomas for making this project so worthwhile.

Sheep and Farming Heritage Project

During 2019, pupils took part in the ‘sheep and farming heritage project’. Through this project, pupils across school have learned about their local community and the links to farming. This have involved; craft and art activities, visits to Burnhill Nature Reserve, and a visit to Hall Hill Farm for our younger pupils.

 

Wild Flower Community Project

Children throughout our school took part in the wild flower project during 2018. They worked alongside other local schools to take part in activities such as planting and artwork. Our Green Leaders took a lead role in this to develop the Millennium Green, with bulb planting and investigative work, in Tow Law.

Tree Planting on Millennium Green

Children from Years 5 and 6 have planted trees on the Millennium Green during February 2017.

Carol Singing at Baring Court

Once again children from KS2 went to Baring Court to sing Christmas carols. They thoroughly enjoy the occasion, as I’m sure the residents of Baring Court do too.

School Council at Community Celebration for Queen Elizabeth’s 90th Birthday

The School Council took part in a community celebration for the Queen’s 90th birthday. They organised a teddy tombola for the day at the Millennium Green; writing a letter for teddy donations, labelling the teddies with raffle tickets, attending the party and then counting the money back in school.

Carol Singers visit Barring Court

A selection of children from Keystage 2 were delighted to accept an invitation to sing Carols for the local residents of Barring Court. They sang old favourites, traditional songs and pop hits for everyones enjoyment. The children would like to thank the residents for their warm welcome and the Christmas treats they provided.

Memorial Christmas Tree

The children were invited by organiser Tanya McFadden of Tow Law’s new Community Group, to upcycle old CDs and DVDs into Christmas decorations for their Memorial Tree.
Everyone had great fun glittering their discs in school then Mrs Hurton and Mrs Williams helped children decorate the tree at the big, “switch on,” where Maisie Morton, (one of our School Councillors) and Lucas Teasdale, (form Blessed John Duckett School) unvieled the tree.
