Buy a brick!
As you are aware, we will be moving across to our new school in September 2008. As part of the plans, we have asked the constructors to build a special feature wall near the entrance, which will incorporate bricks engraved with the names of past and present pupils.
The cost to any interested parties would be £10 a brick. Any money raised from the sale of the bricks will be used to fund the cost of organising community events to celebrate our last year on the present school site.
Details have already been sent home with our pupils including a reply slip to show your interest. If you have not received a copy of this or are a past pupil/member of staff then please inform the school via this weblog OR email/ telephone/ write a letter.
Thank you.

Things are really starting to take shape along at Kingsmeadow...
This is a classroom (on the left) & the sports hall.
This is the 'Activity Street' which will be an important part of our school.
The classrooms have low level windows so the children can see out & to allow plenty of light in.
The new grass area has just been laid.
The Main Entrance.
Approaching the final 12 months!
As previously mentioned, this time next Summer, we will have relocated to our new school building along at Kingsmeadow. We would like to mark this final year at our current school, with a series of celebrations & special events
therefore, we would like to hear from former pupils, staff & parents as well as current, so that we can share our ideas & begin to organise how we would like to celebrate & remember our times at Dunston Hill Community Primary School.
Please post a comment on this weblog or contact the school regarding this.

Looking to the future...September 2008
As you are by now well aware, in September 2008, our new school will be open on the Kingsmeadow site. However, we don't wish to forget the current primary school building & all the fond memories many of you will have of your time here and therefore would welcome any suggestions you have, as to how we can celebrate the opening of our new school, say a fond farewell to our current building & keep the traditions of Dunston Hill alive.
