Library Events over the Summer Holidays
Please take a look at some of these fantastic upcoming events over the Summer Holidays…
The Summer Reading Challenge combines FREE access to books with fun, creative activities during the summer holidays. Throughout the Challenge, library staff and young volunteers support the children, helping them to discover new authors and illustrators and to explore a wide range of different types of books and ways of reading,
How the Challenge works
- Children sign up through their local library and receive a Wild World Heroes collector poster
- Children set a reading goal and borrow and read library books of their own choice during the summer, collecting special stickers to complete their poster and extra incentives along the way
- The Library Facebook page will be hosting weekly FREE events to coincide with the Summer Reading Challenge and will be uploaded every Wednesday but will be available to play back at a later date.
- Each County Durham Library will be giving out weekly FREE craft activity packs to keep children entertained over the summer. There will be weekly ‘how to’ videos uploaded to our Facebook page on a Monday.
- Library staff and volunteers are on hand to advise
- Children who complete the Summer Reading Challenge are presented with a certificate and a medal
- The official Challenge website, wildworldheroes.org.uk, hosts digital rewards, author videos, games and more for children to enjoy all summer

🏴⚽️🎶 IT’S COMING HOME, IT’S COMING HOME, IT’S COMING🎶⚽️🏴
To celebrate the Euro 2020 (2021) England vs. Scotland game, children have enjoyed a football fun day. The children in class 4 have completed maths activities on angles and discussed the countries that are competing in the competition. They also made bunting, using the flags, to colour their own flag and took part in a friendly match.
Shelters
Children worked together, with a limited set of resources, to create their own shelter to meet a brief. Team work and communication skills were crucial in order for the children to succeed. They were very proud of their final shelters. Amazing work Class 4!
Class Liturgy
Children in Class 4 participated in a liturgy for the 5th Sunday of Easter. We listened to the scripture and thought about ‘I am’ statements and the ways in which we contribute.
Weaving
Children in Class 4 have enjoyed some great success, with completing weaving using lolly pop sticks. They showed great perseverance in order to learn and apply the new skill and they were very proud of the outcome.
Computing with Sphero Sports.
Children in Class 4 have loved beginning working with the Foundation of Light on a computing unit this half term. Using Sphero bots the children programmed the bots to move and completed challenges including drawing shapes and navigating the Sphero around the floor mat.
Afternoon Tea
Children in Class 4 received an invitation from the children in Class 1 to join them for Afternoon tea. A group of children worked with Mrs. Hall to help prepare the food and drinks. We focussed on being a positive role model for the younger children and demonstrating our cove values of respect, friendship, excellence and care.
Fire 🔥 Fire 🔥
Working alongside Mr Baker from Sc.out.ed, children have worked in groups to gather the necessary materials to build and maintain a fire (safely) for 15 minutes. They worked together to gather tinder, kindling and firewood so that they could keep their fire burning. They showed resilience and all enjoyed success! The session was finished with s’mores- which were delicious.
Sc.out.ed- Message Mysteries…
Children worked cooperatively, developing team-work skills and resilience to use a key and create a hidden message. They then used the key to decipher one another’s messages. The children’s communication skills, perseverance and determination was excellent!
