Walking with Dinosaurs.

Last Thursday, leaving nursery behind, we ALL visited the O2 Arena and the 'Walking with Dinosaurs' show. Jaws dropped. Carr Hill has seen memorable days but on this occasion the children had an experience they will never forget.

Year 6 London visit.

After a long year and very successful year, year 6 enjoyed the heat in London. They visited all the major sights, enjoying every minute.

Here's what they had to say..............

"Gave us better knowledge and gave us a break from home." Dominika

"Mind blowing because Mr. Kidd gave us the responsibility of going to London." Natalie

"It was amazing. It was one of the best trips we've had!" Rachel

"It was great but annoying waiting for the tube." Sima

"It was fab! I liked it best when we watched the 'Lion King'." Mollie

"It was good because I mixed with other teachers." Liam

"I think it was a good experience and I enjoyed the food the most." The living legend that is Kain.

"I thought it was a really good experience." Colin

"I thought it was so amazing, words cannot say!" Brandon

"It was a great experience away from work."
David, you'll say that so often as you get older.

Bolam Lake

Foundation Stage took full advantage of the recent good weather and visited Bolam Lake. The children collected natural materials to add to their clay tiles before searching the woods for the Gruffalo. We did find his cave but sadly he was not at home.

Once again Carr Hill joined neighbouring schools at the Gateshead Dance Festival. Familiar faces danced as part of the KS2 group. Look at our old dance podcast to see those faces in the same competition in KS1.

Children in Need 2008

Once again the children of Carrhill came out in force to support Children in Need. Each child paid £1.00 to wear their own clothes or fancy dress. It has become tradition within school to spread our coins around Mr. Kidd's office. This year was different. Each class used the collected coins to fill a giant Pudsey Bear in the yard.

Extended Schools during Autumn half term.

Extended schools activities have always been an important part of Carrhill life. During the half term break, we used our new buses to access 'The Forbidden Corner' in Yorkshire and other outdoor activities. Look at our photographs to see what we got up to.
