We would like to thank everyone who came to our MacMillan Coffee Afternoon which we hosted on Friday 8th October.    It really was lovely to welcome family and friends to this event after such a long time and you all helped us raise the fantastic amount of £466.00 for this worthwhile cause. 

Thank you to everyone who donated beautiful cakes and raffles prizes and a big thank you to the Friends of the School for helping with the refreshments and being on hand in the hall.  Lastly, a special mention to our year 5 & year 6 pupils who showed great maturity in helping to set up the hall and taking charge of the many stalls – you all did a fantastic job!

On Tuesday 29th June 2021, Class 2 had an exciting day learning how to build a den with Mr Chris Hall from ‘Thrills & Skills’.  Chris had spent 7 months living in the jungle and was able to teach our children vital survival skills, one of them being how to build a den.  Through the day, the children listened to what they were taught and worked together as a team, lifting, carrying, guiding, etc. and as you can see from the photos they built a very impressive den!

Many thanks to Chris for visiting our school.

A ‘friendly’ football match was held between Middleton-in-Teesdale Primary and West Cornforth Primary during the week of 7th – 11th June 2021.  The teams were in great spirits and both played a good, solid game.  Our year 5 boy, James, scored 4 goals with the help of his team and there was plenty of shouts of encouragement from the rest of the school.

The final score was 6-4 to West Cornforth – WELL DONE!!

Our first ever ‘Colour Run’ was a huge success with all of our children participating and having heaps of fun!  Pupils and teachers, all in their class bubbles, ran the zig-zag course on our school field.  Teams of volunteers from ‘The Friends of the School’ were armed with huge pots of powder paint; the paint helped the children all run that little bit faster as they were pelted with colours of blue, green, pink and orange.  The event, which had been postponed due to Covid-19, was just what the whole school needed after a very challenging time and it was fantastic to see everyone smiling, laughing and having lots of fun.
