Werrington Primary School

We had an interesting visit from a nutritionist. We talked about the different food groups, then we made a smoothie using an exercise bike with a food mixer attachment! It was fantastic fun. What do you think?

Excellent character description by Chloe.  You are making fantastic progress in your writing.  A huge well done!

It was so hard to choose the writer of the week so I chose 2!  Lola wrote an exceptional piece of writing based on the setting of our story – A Plot on the Pyramid.  Well done!

Well done to Maizey for an excellent story setting based on our Ancient Egypt topic work in English!  Your writing is fabulous!

A few pupils and parents have been asking about additional practice questions that they can work at home.

If you are interested in a few extra practice questions, particularly in the run up to the tests, you should check out Corbett Maths 5-a-day, a free online maths resource.

There are four sets of 5 questions for every single day of the year. The bronze sets are the easiest questions and each set thereafter gets progressively harder. The majority of pupils will find the gold and platinum sets most useful as they tackle the trickier aspects of the KS2 curriculum.

I especially like the fact that they are in groups of 5 questions meaning it can be done as a short, sharp and snappy activity when required. All sets also come with answers. 

Mr Hubbard

Severn Trent came in today to do a special assembly for KS2 helping us to learn about our water cycle. It was interesting to discover what happens to our water after it goes down our drains. Hopefully we will all remember that only the 3P’s should go down the toilet!

What an exciting assembly we had today! Reverend Steve came into school and invited a pupil to shave the blue side of his beard. The red side was to be shaved off later in the day at St John’s Primary. Donations that had been sent into school were kindly received by Reverend Steve on behalf of Dylan’s Charity for Sepsis Awareness.  Many thanks for all of your generous donations.

A great big THANK YOU to all those who attended year 3 and 4’s production of ‘A Tale of Three Trees’ yesterday.

The children did a fantastic job in both the morning and afternoon productions.

Thank you once again for your support in helping to learn lines and sending in costumes.

Congratulations to all of these super achievers this week!

Today in Forest Schools, we had an egg hunt in the snow! After splitting into two teams, the children had to scour the grounds to search for the correct numbered eggs. Once all the eggs were found, they then had to unscramble the hidden messages to earn their reward…chocolate! We even managed to fit in some snow angels and threw a few snowballs at Mrs Bolton! See you all after Easter break 🙂
