What 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!   

The DFE (Department of Education) have provided information for us to share with parents of pupils in Year 2 and Year 6.

We have sent out paper copies of this information but please find links below that you can follow. 

Year 2

Parents of pupils in year 2 might be interested in our information leaflet or short video.

Year 6

The information leaflet and video is for parents of pupils in year 6 about key stage 2 (KS2) national curriculum assessments.

They provide information about the purpose of the tests, how parents can best support their children and how results will be reported.

Week 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!

Start of the Day

We hope that the lovely weather continues and we can start the day we always intended. As it's been a while here is a reminder...

The playground is open and supervised from 8.40am each day. Children should start to head and wait by their entrance. This is ...

Years 3, 4 , 5 and 6 Woodpeckers, Kingfishers and Owls): The Key Stage 2 entrance next to the office door. 

Year 2 (Squirrels): The door by their classroom

Year 1 (Robins): Line up by the outdoor play area and staff will bring the children into school. 

Year R (Hedgehogs): The Early Years Entrance gate/ door

If the weather is rainy then Years 1-6 can come into school via the Key stage 2 entrance from 8.45am. Hedgehogs will continue to use their door. 

If your child needs to arrive at school before 8.40am we recommended that they use the Early Bird Service available in the Nursery part of the school. Sessions can be booked in by contacting 01562 851851. 

For Safeguarding and Health and Safety reasons children should not be left unattended before 8.40am. 

Thank you for your cooperation. 

Welcome Back! 

The new term has begun and the sun is shining! The April/May addition of 'In the Loop' is now available to read on our website and copies will be coming home today.

We have a busy term ahead and we start this week with an adventure day for year 4 at WCESS today. Later this week Owls will be taking part in their Tag Rugby session  and Kingfishers will have an opportunity to take part in cycling. On Thursday Year 4 will start their Bell Boating experience with Miss Bidnell and Mr McDonnell. 

May Day Celebrations in the village take place on Sunday 6th May. Further details will be available on our newsletter and in upcoming posts on our website. 

Let's hope the sun keeps shining! 

Week ending 29th March...

What a wonderful last week! Our pupils have worked so hard this week and enjoyed the Easter activities that have taken place in each classroom. 

Our Easter Service was beautiful with songs, dedications and readings of the Easter Story. Surprises all round to Mrs King and the wonderful Mr Harris with a special rap and songs from the pyramid concert.

Back in school the Easter Cup Cake Competition was being judged by Mr Harris and pupils, parents and staff took part in the game "In for £1 in for an Easter Egg'. This has raised an amazing £233 along with donations for tea and coffee this morning money raised will buy an iPad for the children. 

Thank you Xander for all your hard work in supporting the school. 

Winners of the Cup Cake Competition were...

Freddie Bayliss from Hedgehogs

Toby Kippax from Robins

Jacob Morgan from Squirrels 

Ava Albutt from Woodpeckers

Maisie George - Fuller from Kingfishers 

Lottie Mason from Owls

Well done to all the pupils - they will all be coming home with a special Easter Chick. 

Happy Easter!

Week ending 23rd March

Another full week at Wolverley Sebright. Our amazing children performed at The Town Hall as part of the The Pyramid Concert. Celebrating the 60's was the theme and all the schools that took part - St Catherine's, Cookley, St Oswalds, WCESS and ourselves treated everyone to a wonderful night of music.

We are extremely proud to have the opportunity to showcase our talented pupils in such a wonderful environment. Thank you to all our families for supporting this event and well done to our children who are superstars!

All our stars will join me today for a special Golden Table Lunch. I am currently extending the tables and finding more gold!

Pupils from Owls have again focused on developing their tag rugby skills this week. Mr McDonnell tells me the team is working well together ready for the upcoming tournament (details to follow) 

The Enterprise Group from Key Stage 2 will be selling their Easter Treats today from 2.45pm. Each group has worked hard to develop their business ideas and I can't wait to get my Easter gifts later.

I must also share a beautiful photograph that one of our pupils have taken that The Kidderminster Shuttle are now using as their profile picture. It is linked to a Photograph Competition they are running. 

Week Beginning 12th March...

What a busy week! We had several visitors this week which has kept me very busy. 

Nigel Bishop joined us on Tuesday to review the provision we have for our pupils and how we spend additional income that comes into our school. Nigel was fantastic and we shared some great ideas. 

On Wednesday Mike Ion (Education Advisor from the Department of Education) came into school to hear about our school and the journey we have been on over the past five years. 

All our visitors were very impressed with our school and with our amazing pupils. 

Following our trip to London and The Houses of Parliament our cabinet are about to review our Behaviour Policy to see how we can make it even better! 

Yesterday was another busy day - Celebration assembly was full of awards from the week including invitations to The Golden Table. I was joined by Ryan and Preston from Robins and then Macey and Emily from Woodpeckers.

Year 3 went Bell Boating with Miss Bidnell and Mr McDonnell for their second session for Bell Boating.  

Next week is the Pyramid Concert - we look forward to our children taking part in this event.
