After the October half-term holiday, we will be restarting our  joint-working on Fridays, where the children from all schools within our Federation will be taught together at St John’s Chapel Primary School. Children from all the schools will be taught together in their age groups – Early Years, Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2), Lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3 and 4) and Upper Key stage 2 (Years 5 and 6).
The focus for teaching on Fridays will be Science, French and PE. Pupils in Y5 and 6 from all schools will be swimming on Friday afternoons until the end of term.
We are really looking forward to being able to bring the children together and have some exciting events planned for next half term.

As our current topic in school is Stargazers (for the older children) and Moon Zoom! (for the younger children) our Science co-ordinator, Miss Woods, has organised a visit from a mobile planatarium. This will take place next Thursday (21^st October). The children from Rookhope and Wearhead Primary will be taken by minibus to St John’s Chapel Primary, where they will spend the morning getting to know the children and staff from the other schools within our Federation. We will then be take the children to the Town Hall at St John’s Chapel (in age groups) where they will experience the planetarium and learn about the Solar System.  Wearhead and Rookhope pupils will return to their own schools in time for lunch.

Breakfast club is available Monday-Friday at St John’s Chapel School. From 8am. The cost is £2.25 per pupil per day.

Parents would need to bring their children to St. John’s Chapel Primary and we would make arrangements for them to be taken to school by Weardale Travel.

Please book by the previous Friday by contacting St John’s Chapel School on 01388 537332

We are holding a coffee afternoon to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. The event is taking place on Thursday 23rd September. The pupils will have baked in the morning and we invite you to join us for a coffee/tea and cake from 2pm onwards. Donations towards the Macmillan cancer support will be sent onto this worthy cause.

A warm welcome back to Wearhead Primary School.
