Transition 2018
Thu 28 Jun 2018New Classes for 2018
As we approach the final stage of this school year, we will begin transition arrangements for our pupils across the school. In order to create the right balance of spending time with their new registration group and staff, whilst remaining focused and settled in their current class, we have devised a timetable of events both sides of the summer break.
Each year we examine what has worked well and what could be even better moving into a new school year. The positive feedback from pupils has been wonderful; they have thrived during our themed weeks, forest school, curriculum based day trips and enjoyed the opportunities to work with different staff and children across the school.
A proposed timetable for your child’s new class will ensure this continues and has been sent home today. Please take note of the PE and Forest School days when kits and old clothes must be in school.
Each year group will host a Meet the Teacher morning when parents can spend time in the new classes and take home useful resources that will help your child over the school year. Each session will start in the school hall then move into the classroom.

Another week on Planet Wolverley
Fri 15 Jun 2018Another week... (15.6.18)
New Parents
Welcome to our new parents that joined us last night for the 'New Reception Parents' evening. We can not wait for our new Hedgehogs to join us for transition visits starting on 18th June.
Lots of information was shared during the evening with Information packs given out. If you were unable to attend your Child's Book Bag and Welcome Pack are in the main office for collection.
Body Confidence
We were very fortunate to be granted a visit from Sophie yesterday who spoke with the girls in Years 4-6 about Body Confidence. The feedback has been really positive to this workshop which we are thrilled about. Thank you Sophie - we will all be writing letters to ourselves reminding us that we are beautiful and amazing - please come again!
Carnival
YEAH! We have a lorry (thank you Mr Mason) and plans are underway for the Nursery Rhyme theme.
Children can come dressed as their favourite nursery rhyme character on the day - the lorry will collect the children from the Sebright Green at 12pm on Saturday 7th July.
Thank you for your kind donations - we will use everything to help make the float look amazing!
Reports
Following really good feedback we have redesigned the reports that will be sent out to parents of pupils in Years 1 -6.
Parents will receive two booklets. The first one will cover whether your child is 'Working towards', 'Expected' or 'Exceeding' in each curriculum area. There will also be a grade for attitude in each subject and targets for reading, writing and maths.
The second booklet will cover and celebrate what the children have covered this year.
The final page will be from the child's new teacher which will include an introduction to their new class and what they will be covering from September. We call this 'Flip Learning' which means your child can prepare themselves before September; whether that is research in a particular area or becoming familiar with texts that will be covered during the autumn term.
Parents Evening will also provide an opportunity to talk through all aspects with all staff available on both evenings.
We hope all information shared provides you with an overall and comprehension view of your child's strengths and achievements.

Hola!
Sat 09 Jun 2018Week ending 8th June...
What a fantastic start to the new term - Spanish Week!
All the children took part in workshops that covered dance, history, geography and food organised by staff and led by Mrs Hall. The atmosphere was fun and exciting!
Look out for the photos and film of the dancing on our website!
Our Bell Boating Team for the upcoming regatta has been selected with training taking place this week. Our crew are working hard to bring home the special trophy again.
We have introduced the Lunchtime Superstars who are selected each day to eat in the Quad. Pupils who demonstrate good manners and behaviour each lunchtime will have the opportunity to eat with friends in our outdoor quad. The names are displayed in the hall to celebrate their achievements.
Eyes Down! Bingo Night took place at WCESS on Friday evening. Prizes, which were all donated, were won for lines and full houses! Money raised will be shared soon! Thank you to everyone who joined in the fun!
