Wilton Expects Focus

The children have been working well, showing Independence and Helpfulness.

The assembly theme this week was on the British values, tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs.

For the final week of term the children will be looking at Collaboration.

Year 5/6 Mrs Harding Class Round up

We have dressed up for World Book Day and had a zoom call with the author Iszi Lawrence.  The children asked lots of interesting questions.

We presented our Sustainability Project to the school explaining about the competition we had entered and showing our adults what the project entailed.  We were delighted to receive the news that all our hard work had paid off and we had won and would receive 5 state-of-the art laptops for Wilton Primary.  The children were commended on their teamwork and fantastic presentation skills.

We have had Red Nose Day where the children tried to make me laugh with their jokes – some succeeded!  Others…well, I’ll let you judge for yourself!

Finally, we had British Science Week which was all about connections.  We were looking at the connection between the Earth, Sun and Moon.  We had a zoom call with a Scientist who helped us understand how these are connected and then we took a visit to Sutton Bank to look at the stars!

Unfortunately, it was a cloudy evening but the children still had a fantastic time geo-caching for clues to the universe and then getting the excitement of holding real pieces of meteorite, a piece of the moon and a piece of Mars.

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.
