Easter raffle

Based on the huge success of our Christmas hampers we are going to raffle Easter hampers this year.

To make this possible we are requesting donations of chocolate and eggs. The more donations we have the more hampers we will have to raffle.

All donations should be brought to classes or the office by Friday 23rd March please. Raffle tickets can be purchased in the playgrounds or school reception.

 

Easter Egg competition

By popular demand, the Easter Egg competition will run

again this year. Each child is invited to decorate a hardboiled egg – in any imaginative, creative way they can think of.

A favourite last time was Harry Hill!

The cost of entering the competition is £1. All entries need to be brought to the classroom by Wednesday 28th March when the competition will be judged. There will be a prizes awarded to the winners of each year group.

 

Spring governor update

Mar
16

The Governing Body had a spring term meeting earlier this week. We reviewed the progress and performance of the school. It has been a busy (and very cold) term for everyone involved with Wormley School. The focus for this term has been on reading fluency and comprehension have been the subject of strong focus across the school. The recent poetry week (and the well attended recitals), along with the ongoing Reading Challenge and Sponsored Read have been of particular success in this area. Further, the school has invested in new texts across the year groups for home reading. The teaching staff are committed to encouraging and promoting good quality reading. Recent visits to the school by Governors have shown that the children are benefiting from the teaching methods and that they show great enthusiasm for reading and writing. We cannot understate how important it is that reading and writing opportunities continue at home. An author recently visited the school and conducted writing workshops. There are plenty of budding authors in the school and we suspect the next JK Rowling is here somewhere.

The school continues to run the increasingly popular Messy Church. The most recent Messy Church was very well attended by many of our families. It has fostered some very positive, trusting relationships between church volunteers, clergy, staff and families. There was a lovely quote from one of the children which perhaps sums up the reason for the success:  “I like Messy Church because I love being messy and I love Church”

There are, of course, challenges for the school; not least the excitement of the forthcoming Data Protection Regulations and the financial planning for 2018/19.

We are extremely proud to announce that Mrs Gaiteri will graduate this term as a Leader for Impact with the Royal Opera House Bridge. This has led to new partnerships with professionals in arts and culture. Our school has joined a national network aiming to measure the impact of arts and cultural education on children and young people. If that wasn’t enough, two of our teachers, Mrs Harris and Mrs Campkin, have had their work with maths teaching and learning published in the Times Educational Supplement and an Early Years Journal.

Apologies for the long blog, but it is so important that we share the successes of the school with you all and equally assure you that the school is capable of rising to any challenge.. We are sure that Science Week will be an addition to the the expanding list of success. Perhaps the best way to end the blog is with a science related (ish) quote, from a famous spaceman, which reflects the aspirations the school has for your children. “To Infinity and beyond”

Tribute to scientist Stephen Hawkins

Mar
14

It is fitting to pay tribute to Professor Stephen Hawking, famed theoretical physicist and author of          ‘A Brief History of Time’ who died today in Cambridge, England, aged 76.

A legend of modern cosmology and a global inspiration, fans from every field paid tribute to the scientist who didn’t let paralysis stop him from exploring the biggest questions about the origins of the universe.

Scientists will build upon his theories of the Big Bang and black holes.

During National Science Week, Wormley CofE Primary School has based its learning this week on the theme of Time and Space, so knowing about Professor Hawkins and his work is very relevant.

Children have been exploring time through learning more about planet Earth in space. A visit to the Science Dome is school today has been both exciting and insightful!

Genius so fine and rare..

National Science Week at Wormley

Mar
7

Next week is National Science Week which we will be celebrating here at Wormley.

This year’s science week theme – Space and Time – has a focus the Earth in Space and the concept of Time.

Children will be working scientifically by: investigating the Earth a s a planet in a solar system, comparing the time of day at different places on the Earth; creating simple models of the solar system; constructing simple shadow clocks and sundials; looking for, and measuring, shadows, and finding out how they are formed and what might cause the shadows to change; looking for patterns in what happens to shadows when the light source moves, using shadow puppets; exploring falling paper cones or cup-cake cases, and designing and making a variety of parachutes and carrying out fair tests to determine which designs are the most effective; exploring resistance in water by making and testing boats of different shapes; exploring the effects of air resistance by observing how different objects such as parachutes and sycamore seeds fall; designing and making a variety of parachutes; carrying out fair tests to determine which designs are the most effective.

Since the best way to learn is through first-hand experience, we have arranged a YR-Y5 visit from a Planetarium on Wednesday 14th March and two Y6 trips to The Science Museum on Tuesday 13th March and Thursday 15th March.

Throughout the week we will follow up specific learning linked to each year group’s unit of learning from the Science National Curriculum. The children will watch some of the amazing science documentaries.

Please see the letter home for more details.
