Pupils from Green 4 have been making the most of the sunshine this term with some fantastic adventures in our local Newbiggin community!

They had the chance to get up close to the sea for a splash and play, using amazing adaptive beach chairs to make the experience accessible and fun for everyone.
A truly memorable day filled with joy, laughter, and seaside fun.

Last week, we had the opportunity to attend Steve and Karen's 90s Breakfast Show event, which celebrated their move to Hits Radio 90s. This event was also a thank you for supporting Cash for Kids' 'Walk Around the World' initiative.

Kenzie and Callum proudly represented Castle School and had an amazing time. Kenzie participated in "A Wonky Minute" and won a prize!
Additionally, when Callum returned to school, he kindly gave the lanyard he received to a friend who loves the show. Well done!
A group of pupils had the opportunity to participate in The Big Sign and Sing event in Durham last week. They were taught two new songs using #Makaton signing.
The pupils had a fantastic time and even got on the stage to sing and sign a song for the audience.
Blue 4 visited Jesmond Dene recently.
We went for a walk through the park, then explored Pet's Corner and looked at the different animals.

Semi-Formal pathway enjoyed PE in the sun earlier this week. We played parachute games, and we all demonstrated fantastic turn-taking and listening skills.
Well done!
