A reminder about Covid-19 in school – if your child is unwell, particularly with a high temperature, sore throat and/or cough, please do not send your child to school. If your child tests positive for Covid-19, please keep them at home for 5 days or until he or she tests negative.
If your child has sickness and/or severe diarrhea, please do not send them into school until 48 hours after the last time your child was sick or had a bout of severe diarrhea.
Currently, we have several cases of Covid-19 in school, with both children and staff infected on both sites. We also have a number of cases of sickness and diarrhea in school.
Please help us to limit the spread of both illnesses in school.
Thank you so much for your support.
This week Oak class (A1) have been watching ‘Up’ for their next fantastic journey! We practised our regulation breathing skills using feathers, balls and balloons during different games. We did lots of moving and stretching to paint out giant house and explored how to mix different colours. We printed then stuck shapes onto our box house, blew up our balloons then did some lovely role play and sharing in it!
Our new STEM carriage is now on track to be completed thanks to Northumberland Line volunteers who have helped prepare the carriage ready for painting.
Thank you to Neil Blagburn who works as the Northumberland Line Delivery Director for arranging the volunteer day.
Morgan Sindall, the Northumberland Line, AECOM, SLC Rail, Department for Transport, and Seamans volunteers worked very hard to strip back the paint and clean the train. Thank you so much for the work and your time, we could not have done it without you.
Children from class B13 enjoyed a trip to the Angel of the North and Newbiggin Beach as part of their fantastic journeys around the North East.
On the 17th March we had a visit from Daniel and Peter from the Harrison Foundation and our local MP Ian Levy.
The STEM/Railway Safety carriage has been funded by the Harrison Foundation and is now part of their social mobility centres. The Dales School is very excited to be part of such a fantastic organisation. A huge thank you to Daniel and Peter!
Ian helped the school make contact with the Harrison Foundation and has been helping to support our fantastic train project. We would like to thank Ian for all his support.
The STEM carriage will be used to help children develop early career aspirations and develop skills in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths as well as helping to deliver Railway safety using a real train.
