Poppy Appeal 2021

This week, a representative from The Royal British Legion called into school following last year’s Red Poppy appeal. We are pleased to announce Wilton Primary Academy raised £106.93, thank you to everyone who donated!

Year 5/6

This week in English, year 5/6 have been learning about Climate change and global warming in order to write a persuasive letter to the government about addressing some of the causes.

Children have been using their knowledge of imperative verbs and using emotive language to make their letters really powerful.

In History, we have opened our topic by discussing in small groups what we already knew about The North Americans and the impact they have had.  At the end of our topic, we are going to do this activity again to see if our discussions are more informed and directed.

Shine Like A Star

This weeks Shine Like A Star was Shaw a random act of kindness.

Times Tables Rock Stars

Practicing times tables is so important in improving maths and is a huge part of number work from Year 2 upwards. Please encourage your child to use their account to get as fast as they can which will help them be able to apply their knowledge to different areas of maths.

Congratulations to the highest coin collectors this week!
