Throughout the day, the children enjoyed a range of exciting outdoor activities, including den building, team challenges and learning important survival skills. It was wonderful to see them embracing the outdoors and making the most of such a unique experience. The event provided a brilliant opportunity for pupils to develop their teamwork skills, support one another and build confidence—all while having lots of fun together. We are incredibly proud of the way Year 5 represented the school with their enthusiasm, cooperation and positive attitude. Well done, Year 5—you were amazing! ### Hamsterley Forest [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_3.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_3.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_4.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_4.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_5.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_5.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_6.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_6.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_7.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_7.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_8.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_8.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_9.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_9.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_10.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_10.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_11.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_11.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_12.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_12.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_13.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_13.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_14.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_14.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_15.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_15.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_16.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_16.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_17.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/gallery/hamsterley-forest/OAA_Festival_17.jpg) [ Science Comes to Life at St Cuthbert’s Catholic Primary School, Crook](https://stcuthbertscrook.bhcet.org.uk/news/2026-05-11-science-comes-to-life-at-st-cuthbert-s-catholic-primary-school-crook) [St Cuthbert’s Catholic Primary School Shines at Shildon Athletics Competition ](https://stcuthbertscrook.bhcet.org.uk/news/2026-06-23-st-cuthbert-s-catholic-primary-school-shines-at-shildon-athletics-competition) ![St. Cuthbert’s Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-cuthbert-s-rc-primary-school-durham-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St. Cuthbert’s Catholic Primary School Church Hill Crook County Durham DL15 9DN 01388 762889 -
