Although the day started rainy, the sun shone for those children who attended our nursery trip to the seaside and lots of fun was had by all. Mams, dads, brothers, sisters, nanna's and auntie's braved the weather A trip to...

Smith A trip to the beach wouldn't be complete without sand in your sandwiches. Sand sculptures Just the ticket when you're cold and wet. Gosh that water was cold but the children didn't care. Finally a trip to the park feeding the ducks with left over packed lunches before we had ice-creams and the metro home. ]]> tag:www.thedriveprimary.org,2010://1.233 2010-07-14T20:02:24Z 2010-07-15T14:05:23Z

Guest All of Year 5 and 6 recently travelled to Kingswood Activity Centre in Hexham, Northumberland. They got up to lots of fun activities, such as: 3G Swing, Laser, Jacob's Ladder, Assault Courses and High Equilibrium. As the name suggests, lots of the activities gave children the chance to overcome many of their fears, especially heights!! One girl even had a birthday while she was there and was surprised by a big chocolate cake, yum!! It was a super way for the Year 6's to relax after all the hard work from SATs, so well done to everyone on that score too! Many thanks go to the student teacher and classroom assistant for all their help too! Mr Connor. tag:www.thedriveprimary.org,2010://1.225 2010-07-02T08:42:43Z 2010-07-26T21:21:23Z

If your children start pointing out Fair Trade labels on produce in the shops and encourage you to buy these products, that's because we have been learning about the importance of buying products with the Fair Trade label on them....

Smith The conclusion was that they tasted the same, so if the fairtrade ones are just as good they should buy those. Then we made banana milkshakes with the rest of the bananas. most children reallly liked the milk shakes. AM PM ]]>
