Public Health England have produced a letter for schools to distribute to parents which explains when a person requires a coronavirus test and what the symptoms of coronavirus are. NHS letter to parents and carers
Prior to lockdown the children in Year 3/4 were asked if they would complete some work that could be exhibited at The Hippodrome. It was a huge honour to be asked and a big wall to fil!! The children decided they wanted to share some of the work they had completed based on local History, in particular the influence the Railway had on Darlington. The children researched local history using a variety of sources such as the internet, books and local museums. They looked at the first steam locomotive which carried passengers from Stockton to Darlington. This was built by George Stephenson in 1825. We visited the Head of Steam Museum in Darlington and found a lot more information about the Railway and we even saw the original Locomotion 1. Back in school the children researched more in to the life and times of George Stephenson as well as the impact he had on passenger railways and the monumental Locomotion 1. The children then used their observations of the Locomotion and used the technique of sketching to recreate some prints of this piece of History. The children have also produced a 3D version of the Locomotion to showcase its workings. The children used the information they researched about George Stephenson to compile some fact files and informative written work about his life and achievements. All of this work was then sent to a professional printer and is now part of a huge display being exhibited in The Hippodrome. We hope it will be displayed there for the next few months. We are very proud of the children and the work they produced. What an achievement!
