Our final week...

What a busy month! Sports Day and sporting events, End of Year Performance of Hoodwinked, the Wolverley Carnival and Fun on the Field. 

Today we say our goodbyes to Year 6 - we are so very proud of each pupil and we look forward to celebrating their Graduation from Primary School this evening. 

Thank you to them and their parents for supporting the school - we wish them all the very best for the future. 

Their recent achievements in the SATs was outstanding! They are ready for Secondary School and we know they will all thrive! 

On behalf of all my wonderful staff I would like to wish you all a relaxing and restful Summer Holiday. As the school closes at the end of an amazing year our Holiday door opens on Monday 23rd July. 

By the time we return Wolverley Sebright Primary will have become an academy. We look forward to all the opportunities our school w have to make it even better! 

TT Rockstars!

Our team of Xander, Taylor and Harley represented the school at the TT Rockstars competition. The pupils had a great day at Ounsdale School involving teams of three from all of our Trust primaries. There were 51 teams and the competition was intense but our students did themselves proud.

Xander picked up the joint first prize for air guitar which came down to a cheer-o-meter – of course, the power of being in a MAT meant we were able to give the loudest cheer!

Well done to all schools and especially Taylor, Xander and Harley.

 Arrangements 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. 

New 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.

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. 

Week 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!
