📚 Published Authors 📚
You may remember that some of our children recently won a writing competition and were having their work published… their book has now arrived!
This is an amazing achievement and a real moment of pride. Seeing their work in a published book is something they should be incredibly proud of – what a fantastic accomplishment! ✨
A huge well done to all involved – we have some very talented young authors in our class! 👏 12 Likes

With the weather getting warmer, please ensure children come into school with a sun hat & their water bottle.
Please apply suncream before they come in. They can bring a named bottle of suncream into school, to reapply at break/lunchtimes if they want to. 3 Likes

County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service (CDDFRS) has issued life-saving water safety advice as many people look to spend time near rivers, lakes and beaches during the warmer weather.
The Service is asking the community to remember the slogan, ‘phone, float, throw,’ to help them act quickly if they see someone in trouble in the water.
Phone 999 and ask for the fire and rescue service.
Tell them to stay calm and float on their back.
Throw rescue equipment to help them float.
CDDFRS Watch Manager Jonner Robinson said: “If you see someone in difficulty, do not enter the water yourself.
“This also applies to pets in distress.
“Instead, call 999 immediately and ask for the fire and rescue service.
“Explain where you are. If you are unsure of the location, look for landmarks or use the ‘what3words’ app.
“Tell the person to float on their back with their ears under the water and to use their hands to stay afloat.
“If possible, use something like a stick, rope, life ring or throw bag to help them from a safe distance.
“What 3 words is an excellent app to accurately pinpoint where you are so crews can find you.
“Knowing what to do can save a life.”
The advice comes during ‘Be Water Aware Week’ (April 27 to May 3), a National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) campaign to raise awareness of water safety and the dangers of accidental drowning.
