Werrington Primary School

We are always proud of the achievements of all the pupils at Werrington Primary School, but recently our choir have completely blown us away with their amazing talent!  They wowed the audience with their performance a couple of weeks ago and then this week the whole school had the privilege of listening to them perform.  With songs from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, The Greatest Showman and Annie, to name but a few, they really were fantastic. 

A big thank you to Mrs Shone and Mr Linley -Simon for their work with the choir this year – we can’t wait to see what you have planned for next year!

Apologies for the very late posting of this blog! A belated congratulations to all pupils who were commended at this assembly back in May.

Children from the year 6 football team took part in a charity football match in aid of Alzheimer’s Society at Pointon`s Park  Sports & Recreation Centre.

The event, which is in its second year, was organised by  PCSO Steve Sherratt and raised over £60 on the day. A big thank you to all the parents who came to support .  Werrington boys ( team 1) came runners up after a penalty shoot-out against the Police.  Well done to the rest of the teams who made this a special day.

It was a glorious afternoon last week for our Reception and Key Stage 1 sports day. Well done to all of the children, you were fabulous! We definitely have some super sports stars here at Werrington!

Well done to the children awarded in this weeks commendation assembly.  A super end to the year!

Today, we had special visit from Lou Macari, who talked about his amazing career in football and shared our motto ‘Together we Succeed’ and how this has been evident in his inspirational life. He shared with us the work he does for homelessness, with the Macari foundation and how we can support this worthy cause.

Children are invited to bring into school used, but clean, tracksuit bottoms, hoodies, trainers and tinned food. A letter will follow with more information.

Thank you for your support,

Miss Craig

Thank you to all of those who have sent in donations to support Steve in his Great Glen Challenge.  He is raising funds for North Staffs Mind.  Here is an update on how it is going so far.

Alternatively, donations can be sent into school – If every child could donate £1, we could give almost £500 towards Steve’s mission.

Saturday 29^th June

The journey begins at Stoke Railway Station at 6.45 a.m.

A long day on three trains to get to our start point (over 9 hours). Plenty of conversations including a mother and daughter from Norway.

Got to Fort William at 4.20pm and cracked on with our first stage to Gairlochy. 10 miles done and dusted by 8pm. Put the tents up in the rain, which means midges, hundreds of them. It’s been lovely up to this point. Tea was nice and hot, veg chilli and a cuppa before bed at 9.50pm.

Sunday 30^th June

A wet and windy night under canvas. Warm and cosy though. Ready to pack up and embrace day 2 when it stops raining.

What lovely weather we had for our KS2 Sports Day! The afternoon was a success with all pupils taking part in a variety of activities and they  really enjoyed themselves.

Results

1st – Red

2nd – Yellow

This afternoon, Year 1 explored and investigated natural materials to help decide which materials would be best to make a boat that floats. They also helped with caring for our sapling by removing the overgrown grass and learned how to tie basic knots. Well done Year 1.

On Tuesday, a group of Y5 and Y6 pupils took a trip to St Greg’s for an exciting, fun-filled STEM day. The children learned lots about the STEM subjects and even created their own items.

Well done to all!
