Herts Sport & Physical Activity Partnership – Digital Girls Football Partnership have awarded Wormley Primary a trophy for delivering equal access for girls’ football both within the curriculum and extra-curricular in 2024.
The #LetGirlsPlay Biggest Ever Football Day will be on Friday 6th March and all schools are encouraged to take part in some form of girl’s football on this date.
England Women continue to inspire a nation after being crowned European Champions in 2022. They ensure that all girls can dream of one day being a Lioness by having the opportunity to play at school!
The children had a wonderful afternoon with Banji Alexander, an exciting new author who burst onto the scene with his debut book, ‘Lockdown Looms: Reggie’s Birthday Party’.
Banji entertained the children reading to them and talking to them about how he became an author. He encouraged them that they could become writers too!
Banji and the children looked great in their hats and boots.
The theme for this Anti-Bullying Week was Choose Respect.
The children revisited the definition of bullying. We teach the children about bullying using the word S T O P. Bullying is when someone treats another person unkindly Several Times On Purpose. We all watched a video explaining that bullying is an imbalance of power, how to report bullying and how to be an upstander.
On Tuesday we celebrated Odd Socks Day and reminded everyone the importance of celebrating our differences and what makes us unique. Celebrating Difference is also our topic in PSHE this half term.
Congratulations to our Y5&6 football and netball teams on their recent success in each of the A&B divisions at the John Warner Tournament.
The Football A team were winners and the B team placed third. The netball A Team finished third and the B team second. This has been a most successful netball performance which is a credit to the Thursday after school club led by Mr Da Silva and the dedication of the children.
Thank you to Mr Cox, Mr Da Silva, Mrs Wyatt and Mrs Jurkowska. Many thanks to the parents that helped with transport to and from the event.
Lat week all the children participated in a belonging project #youbelong. We wanted everyone to feel proud of who they are, their background and their interests. It was part of our commitment to Hertfordshire’s Greater Representation project which aimed to address racial inequality and greater inclusion.
We had a brilliant day starting with the children sharing family trees, interviews of family members, food special clothing and lots of wonderful pictures. Each of the children wrote a small story about themselves celebrating how unique and special they are which was then shared with their peers. It was great to see so many parents join us at the very end of the day to visit classrooms. It was truly one of our special days. We hop to continue this in the future.
A big thank you to all the parents and wider family members who got involved and made the children’s experiences that much richer!
