Pupils 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!”
Morpeth Cricket Club’s Junior Section have a number of places available for coaching and teams.

Friday 13 March saw the beginning of British Science Week and we had lots of activities happening for all of the students.
Each year group had different activities – from electronics workshops, creep crawly visitors, cake decorating and lots more.
Last week, we took on the challenge of an open air dance to raise money for Comic Relief.
Thankfully the weather was in our favour and 525 students and over 40 staff took part in the performance on the school yard – dancing to Shakira’s ‘It’s Time For Africa’.
Check out the photo gallery.
Some of our Year 7 students are off to Alpe d’Huez, France this week.
