Sports Day - Friday 6th July
Wed 04 Jul 2018Arrangements for Sports Day
Our sports day is due to take place on Friday 6th July at Mill Lane, Wolverley.
Parents must bring the children to school as normal but in their Sports Day clothes then head to Mill Lane to help set up.
Children will need to come dressed in their house colour t-shirt (children have been told and a text has been sent to parents with a reminder of the colour needed), shorts, trainers, sun hat and lots of sun cream.
Gazebos will be needed as the forecast at the moment is for sunny periods with a slight breeze. Could we ask if anyone has gazebos please may we borrow them for the day, we will be very grateful. The gazebos will need to be positioned between the two tracks to provide additional shade for pupils.
A drinks station will be set up along with ice lollies available throughout the day. Please send your child with extra to drink, covered in sun cream and wearing a hat!
Staff will be at Mill Lane from 9am with the children making their way down just before 10am ready to start the events just after 10am. We have made the decision for all events to take place on the same day however the timings will need to be altered to avoid children and staff remaining on Mill Lane when the temperature is forecast to be at its highest.
Therefore the day will still be divided into two sections – the morning (10am – 11.30am) comprising of a rotation of activities that the year 6 pupils lead.
Lunch will now be from 11.30am until 12pm.
The afternoon will start just after 12pm and we will aim to finish by 1.30pm. We have assessed Mill Lane throughout the week and the events after lunch will take place towards the bottom of the field where it is very shady.
Please remember children can depart from Mill Lane but only with parents once all activities have been completed. Each member of staff will have a registration and parents must sign their child out before leaving the grounds. I will be on the gate to assist. If your child attends activity club they will return to school with staff.
There will be no Street Dance after school.
If we need to make any changes we will inform all parents straight away.

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.

Another Week...
Fri 11 May 2018What a busy few weeks...!!!
Since my last post the pupils of Wolverley Sebright have been extremely busy in and out of school.
You may have seen the recent article in The Shuttle of our newly formed 'Junior Litter Pick-up artists'. Lauren as our Environmental Minister has recruited many pupils to join her in the 'Keeping Kidderminster and Surrounding Places Clean' . More details will follow in how all pupils can support.
Over the Weekend Madison was named Rosebud at the upcoming Wolverley Carnival with Macey crowned Carnival Princess and Oscar awarded the title of Little Lord. We look forward to supporting our pupils when we join them in the annual procession through Wolverley on July 7th.
Year 5 have now completed their Bell Boating experience with Year 6 due to go in a couple of weeks.
With many sporting events and successes including archery and football the next competition our pupils will take part in is tennis. Wimbledon here we come!
With Monsters taking over in Squirrels and Robin Hood in Key Stage 2 it's been an interesting week!
Joining me at the Golden Table this week have been Rose and Maisy from Squirrels, Becky and Toby from Woodpeckers. Also today I was joined by Theo and Zachary from Hedgehogs and Emilie and Eden from Woodpeckers. Well done to all our Lunchtime SuperStars!
On that note we will wish all our wonderful Year 6 pupils all the very best for next week when they sit their Year 6 SATs. Mr Price, Mrs Valentine and all the staff know it will be an opportunity for them to show everyone how hard they have worked - I hope they relax and enjoy their weekend. Mrs Valentine will have the bacon and sausages at the ready on Monday morning!

Another week on Planet Wolverley...
Fri 27 Apr 2018Week 2 of the Summer Term!!!
So where did the sun go.???
What a busy and successful week it has been!
Our Tag Rugby Team took part in the West Mercia Tag Rugby Tournament and didn't lose a match. In the final they drew but came second overall as the organisers counted the total amount of tries scored and the other team had just one more than us. Well done Team (pictured below) we are very proud of you!
On Tuesday I was invited to speak at 'The Raising Standards and Attainment in Education Across the Midlands' in Birmingham. The purpose of my speech was to share the amazing journey our school has been on and how we continue to drive improvement in our school and across several counties.
We had four tiny furry visitors in school on Wednesday. Baby chicks spent the day in school to the great delight of the pupils. Thank you Sophie for bringing the baby chicks into school - we look forward to seeing them again soon!
On Thursday I was joined by Chelsea and Polly followed by Madison and Sophie for lunch at The Golden Table.
Well done girls on being this weeks superstars!
Cycling for Kingfishers and Bell Boating for Year 4 continued this week - despite the April showers!
Finally, congratulations to Mrs Mac who completed her Forest School Leader exams this week - the development of the Forest School has been outstanding and this was reflected in the feedback to Mrs Mac.
Umbrellas at the ready for collection today and the weekend!
