Year 5 Trip to Robinwood

23rd April 2015Mrs K Shutler

IMG_7172Year 5 have finally recovered from their exciting three days at Robinwood!

The children had a fantastic time and threw themselves whole-heartedly into each activity.  We were extremely impressed with how the children conducted themselves and they were a real credit to our school.

The teamwork that they demonstrated was amazing and they really supported each other throughout.  I’m sure that the children have told you about all of the fun they had and you can now see it for yourselves through the photo gallery.

We would like to thank the children for being so wonderful and making the visit so enjoyable.

Photography Trip to Beamish

26th March 2015Mrs K Shutler

IMG_1506Pupils from Newminster and Chantry reflected upon what they had learnt on their Photography trip to Beamish.

“We enjoyed dressing up in clothing from the 19th Century and and taking part in many fun activities…comparing old photos from the 1900s, taking part in the real life history and taking photos of each other in different locations.

We were amazed to see the variety of photos that were taken in the past – cricketers, miners, elderly couples, soldiers, business men and families. Pin hole cameras were massive and really hard to carry around with you.

The pictures came out in black and white and you had to stay still for a few minutes before the picture was taken which made it hard to smile. In the past it cost a lot of money but now you just press a button without costing anything. Ipad cameras only take a few seconds to take the photo!”
