St Mary's Cockerton CE Primary School

We are very much looking forward to being part of these celebrations with our friends and neighbours!

St Mary's Church is 125 this year and we're planning to celebrate this milestone - SAVE THE DATES! Please do share this around for us.

Ice lollies and chalk drawing was the well deserved reward for the Red House Team for wining this year's House Team Trophy!
Congratulations Reds!!

Year 6 have made a start on customising their own leavers shirt and have had lots of fun . We aim to finish these on Wednesday ready for shirt signing at the end of the week .

This incredible group of children achieved 100% attendance this academic year smashing our school target of 95%.
One of our Year 6 children has only been absent for one afternoon in her entire primary school journey - phenomenal!!!!

For the rest of this week due to the weather, England getting into the semi-finals of the World Cup and because its the last week before the summer holidays the children may chose from the following:
* uniform as normal
* school PE kits
* red and white clothes
* football strip
* their own choice of clothing
Please remember they will still be outside at playtimes and will still do PE. Please no crop tops, false nails or nail varnish and they must still bring a hat and a waterbottle.

Class 5 enjoyed a fantastic morning at Wyvern Academy who have installed 460 solar panels to reduce energy costs and reduce use of fossil fuels. Representatives from the Solar for Schools Programme helped children understand how renewable energy works through workshop activities.
Lola McEvoy - MP for Darlington encouraged the children to look at STEM careers in renewable energy and carbon capture and explained how Darlington and the North East is the focus for huge investment in this field!

A huge thank you to Ms Howard from Durham Music Service for showcasing our amazing musicians - Year 3 ukulele players and viola and violin players from Years 3 to 6.
It was a lovely concert and showed just how far they have come - not only their playing but also their singing and musicality.
Ms Howard treated us to a solo too - she is so talented and such an inspiration!
