Our team have played 13 competitive matches (and some additional friendlies) over 3 weeks of competition at Bishop Auckland Rugby Club. Round 2 was played in wet and muddy conditions and the team did excellently to play with determination and not complain! Round 3 was played in fair weather and the team ended the league by recording 4 straight wins, including an outstanding 6-0 victory in their final match – much to the delight of their cheering parents! Although the team found some matches tricky, the team finished a respectable 4th in the league with 6 wins and 7 losses. All the adults watching agreed how much the team had improved over the 3 weeks. Well done to Morgan (captain), James, Chester, Ben, Corinne, Calum, Olivia and William for your outstanding effort!

Big Play
This week, as part of Durham Music Service’s Big Play event, our violinists treated us to a wonderful performance. Their teacher, Miss Miller, led them in performing a range of pieces that they played with confidence – not a squeak or wrong note in sight! Two of the children had recently played as part of the Weardale Stars in front of a very large audience at Glow Church UK and for two musicians, their performance this week was their first ever. All of the children did a wonderful job and the whole school enjoyed it – well done to them all!
Cricket CVL
Our team of Year 6 cricketers have competed in 2 weeks of their 3-week league at Hunwick Cricket Club. So far, they have recorded 3 wins in 3 games. Well done Ben, Carter, Carlton, Drew, Euan, Matthew, Rory, Zach and Zack and keep up the good work in your final matches.
The Selfish Giant
This week the Image Musical Theatre visited us to perform The Selfish Giant. The children had a fantastic afternoon learning the songs and watching the performance and a group of children were especially excited to get the opportunity to become actors for the afternoon and take part in the performance. As always there was plenty of participation and singing and our very own actors did a great job!
Extreme Reading
A huge thank you and well done to all of our Extreme Readers who entered our competition to read in the most unusual places as part of our World Book Day celebrations. Have a look at some of the entries.

An Exciting Letter!
Key Stage 2 Carol Service
Our Key Stage 2 carol service at St. Mary and St. Stephen’s Church was a great success! The children did a wonderful job and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all!
More Tag Rugby Success!
On Monday evening, our Y5/6 Tag Rugby team scored yet another victory playing the winners of the Bishop Auckland League at Parkside. Zach A, Carter and Finlay had the following report on the match:
“The game was tough and Toft Hill were a difficult team to play. We were ahead for most of the match, but actually came very close to losing it at the end. Fortunately, a pass to Ben allowed him to score a try and make it 11-11 with only seconds remaining. Extra time was tense, but the final score was 13-12 to Wolsingham. After winning against Toft Hill, we have made it to the County League Final!”
We look forward to our pupils competing at the County Finals at Consett Rugby club on the morning of March 18th.
