We all looked fabulous in our costumes and the staff at Dilston were blown away by so many handsome knights, gorgeous princesses and twinkling fairies! We enjoyed making shields, crowns and masks and acted out a fairytale in the magical castle! We were super clue-finders on our treasure hunt and cast the spells to find the gold coins!

      <![CDATA[During the last week in June the whole of Years 5 and  6 visited Ingram Valley as part of their topic about Northumberland.  A fantastic time was had by all and the children behaved extremely well during their visit.  The day began with a hill climb to the summit of Brough Law, from where the pupils sketched a variety of landscapes across the valley.  Unfortunately the rains fell and we headed down the hill for an early lunch.  After lunch the chuildren were set a task of creating a dam across the river in their groups.  The pupils were judged on the quality of their dam and the standard of presentation.  Some groups were slightly more focused on catching the local wildlife rather than brave the freezing temperatures - but after an hours building, the victorious teams were Mr Otterson's group and Ms Taylor's group.  The children finished off with a plodge and play in the pools created by their dams - some even managed to submerge themselves fully just to show the quality of their dam building skills!

They were very interesting and the children loved watching.
We recently released them into the garden.
We wonder if they'll come back to visit us again.

      Just to remind you that it is Early Years and Key Stage One Sports Day on Thursday 3rd July at 9.30 am.
Nursery will have their races first, then can either stay with a grown up or can go home.
Please can we remind you that children need to come to school ready in the morning with their kits and trainers on.
They will also need their water bottles, sun hats and cream, because of course it is going to be a beautiful day!!!
There will be sausage sandwiches for sale, as well as other refreshments, cakes and crisps, So please bring along some pennies.
Programmes will be on sale, but each one will hold a special number. 
A winning number will be drawn at the end which will win a prize.
Don&apos;t forget too the parents race. We all look forward to it, so get practising. There will be a prize for ladies and mens races too.
See you all on Thursday.
