Yesterday, pupils in Year 4, Year 5 and S4 had an 'other-worldy' experience in a pop-up planetarium thanks to the team from the Life Centre in Newcastle. When I went to see how they were getting on, a meteorite had just hit their 'spaceship' and they were furiously sending Morse code messages to satellites! Year 5 and S4 have an in-person trip to the centre later in this week and more pictures will follow...

A HUGE thank you to Business in the Community who have funded our full height KS1/2 mud kitchen for the playground. This has been built from a mixture of pallet/ reclaimed wood and was built by Bettys interiors, a Tees Valley based supplier.
There are giant utensils, potion bottles, cauldrons, all sorts of table ware and of course, a digging planter!
DONATIONS: We are looking for donations of old pots and pans. If you have any, please do bring them into the main office.

The count down is on! Arlo joins the Team at DPA after half term. He is currently finishing off his therapy dog training and has made a flying start with the first 6, of 8, modules completed to an excellent standard. Arlo is a 6 year old labrador, he loves walks, especially swimming in the sea. His ears are very soft! He loves to give cuddles and is very calm when someone is upset or distressed.
He has spent some time in school over holiday periods and is very happy on site. For more information please check your Dojo account.
