The latest newsletter from us at The Dales is now available for your browsing. There are some fantastic things going on in school as well as parent and carer opportunities and events.
Classes from Ashlade and Blythdale went on a fantastic journey to York. The classes were B12, A6 and A7.
We would like to say a big thank you to Nicola Buckley, Lisa Yemm, Gary Braddock, JJ Fletcher and Stephen O’doherty for the complementary train tickets and for making us feel very safe and comfortable on the train. We all had an amazing day.
We started our journey at Newcastle central station and we met Gary Braddock from Transpennine. Gary took us over to the Transpennine train and showed us to our seats. We had a very comfortable journey to York. The train was very fast.
At York we met Lisa Yemm. Lisa had a surprise for us, it was a Trenspennine goody bag, it was like a party bag, but even better.
We then walked over to the railway museum. We sat on the real bullet train and looked under a steam engine. Bradley even spotted a Dr.Who Tardis on the model railway layout.
We then got the train back to Newcastle and we were able to stand next to the train for a photo.
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!

Class B13 (Pine) went to see ‘Beauty and the Beast’ at the Tyne Theatre in Newcastle.
The children really enjoyed this experience for the first time and can’t wait to go again next year.
One child quoted ‘This is the best school trip ever’.
