Today, we had a very special visitor to St Oswald’s. The Bishop of Durham came to speak to our Christian Council about families, asking questions and gathering information for a national survey. Our Y6 Christian Councillors then took Bishop Paul on a tour of the school, an experience that was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thank you for visiting us, Bishop Paul, and a big well done to the Christian Council!
Reception have had such a busy Miles Away Monday! Not only have we been learning lots about Italy, we also combined this with out food and nutrition DT! We made pizzas today and had to plan what we wanted on them. We then loved making these and I think tasting these was our favourite part of it all! 
Yum yum! 
Today Year 1 have been learning about Greece, we started the day by learning about Ancient Greek vases, discussing the patterns, colours and stories on them. We then focused on patterns, following them and creating our own. We then designed our own Greek Vases
. This afternoon we learnt all about Greek Gods and Goddesses, we chose which God/Goddesses we wanted to focus on and researched and created fact files to show our knowledge! Well done 
Year 4 have had a fabulous morning learning all about Hungary for Miles Away Monday. Our focus was Geography where we did lots of map work, locating Hungary itself as well as it’s bordering countries. We also looked closely at the physical and human features of the country too. Before lunch, we listened to some traditional Hungarian Folk music and completed a Menti to say what we could hear and how the music made us feel. After lunch we then travelled to Spain and during our Spanish lesson we used compass points to describe the location of different cities and we also learnt how to describe the temperature during the different months. A very busy day with amazing learning. Well done Year 4!
