Weekly Blog 13th October

Wilton Expects Focus

Autumn is well and truly here and the children are working as hard as ever in school showing how they can be Independent with their work and also around the school.

We had visitors speaking to the children about Mental well being for World Mental Health day.

Next week is all about Collaboration and Kindness as we prepare for the Harvest Festival and Show Racism the Red Card.

Year 5/6 Miss Harding Class Round up

It has been a VERY busy start to the new year for year 5/6.

We have had a fantastic residential at Peat Rigg, we have had Sport’s Leader training and taken part in a Tag Rugby competition.

On top of all that, we have dived straight in to our new year writing a twisted fairy tale in English, learning how to apply our calculation knowledge to word problems in Maths and all about how the latitude of the country you live in affects your climate. 

Finally, we have been learning about Evolution and Inheritance in Science with the children producing fantastic ‘alien’ offspring.

The children have also talked with incredible maturity about their mental health and learnt what it means to have healthy ‘mental health’ and how sometimes we struggle to have healthy ‘mental health’.  

Breakfast Club

Did you know we do a breakfast club every morning? You can bring your child in, knowing they’ll get a good breakfast before they start school.

This is open to everyone and can be booked in the clubs section on the school gateway app.

It costs £1.20 for each morning your child attends.

All children have been provided with a t-shirt and shorts in a bag for PE lessons but they need to have their own trainers/plimsols in school please. Plimsols will be provided if needed. As the weather is changing, you may want to send in a tracksuit for children to wear outside during PE lessons.
