Wolverley tennis team thoroughly enjoyed their time at Bewdley tennis club today where they participated against other local schools throughout Wyre Forest, with our year 3/4 team making it through to the final only to miss out by one point and our year 5/6 team finishing 2nd in their group. Well done to those that represented their school today, proud to be Wolverley!!

Day 2: "Well we woke to the sun shining again. With many of us beating Mr McDonnell to the shower block to get ready (Freddie would like his mum to know he has washed his hair 3 times already!)

 

Breakfast arrived and we gathered together to go through the day ahead. With suntan lotion covering all the bits that matter we divided into three groups for our first activity.

 

Miss Bidnell, Mr McDonnell and Mrs Brown with a group each took part in either mountain biking, archery or high ropes.

Mr McDonnell claims that he climbed the highest - between you and I it was Jack Hudson who got him there.

 

The Frank Chapman Centre (or as we like to call it the FCC) is magically. Some of us found riding a bike a bit scary before we came now we can ride better than Mr McDonnell. Some of us found heights scary but now we can climb better than Mr McDonnell. Some of us thought archery was difficult but now we aim better than... you get the picture. 

 

The new queen of archery is Miss Bidnell - who even beat the instructors. Mr McDonnell is very nervous as he's not doing so well so far. The pressure is on! 

 

Mrs Stiles and Mrs Reeves-Walters arrived after school and just in time for tea. The chocolate cake and warm chocolate sauce was amazing. 

 

We then had a choice before we headed into the woods for a walk do we practice for the talent show, take part in a sports game or play with the games in camp?

 

Our walk took us to the magic tree where you can make a wish. All wishes are secret but let's see if they come true! 

 

The talent show was such a treat as we drank our hot chocolate under the clear sky (just before the rain clouds arrived). Alice and Ruby performed a routine, Gracie sang, Lottie and Freddie danced, Ossie D and Dan H performed a comedy sketch and Lily, Lacey and Carys sang. 

 

Then it was time for bed... and for the rain to start. 

 

Last day tomorrow. Miss Bidnell has said once we've had breakfast we will take part in our last activity before lunch, pack then we will head home. We should arrive back at The Memorial Hall car park for 2pm. Some of us will go straight home some of us will help Mr McDonnell carry his luggage back over to school. Is it normal to use so much hair product and fake tan?

 

Anyway, missing you all - see you soon"

 

Greetings from The Frank Chapman Centre

 

Day 1: "Once we had arrived at the centre Chris (the man in charge) took us on a tour and showed us all the facilities. Once that was completed we unpacked. The pods are amazing!  

 

Some of the girls have each outfit laid out ready to wear (tip from Mrs Reeves-Walters) whereas some of the boys have 'placed' their luggage so it is easily accessible (tip from Mr McDonnell). 

 

After an afternoon of team building games and activities and we were joined by Mrs Stiles. Before our evening adventure we had some free time to play on the tree swing, play football with Mr McDonnell, cricket with Miss Bidnell or just relax in the sun! 

 

Once Mrs Reeves-Walters arrived we ventured down into the forest for shelter building and treats around the camp fire. 

 

With each group working as a team the shelters created were the best the centre had ever seen! 

 

With the water heating up over the camp fire it was then time for hot chocolate and marshmallows - yum, yum! 

 

With the sun setting we headed back for showers and to get ready for bed. Mrs Reeves-Walters, Miss Bidnell and Mr McDonnell checked in on all of us and stayed awake for ages making sure we were all ok. 

 

Mrs Reeves-Walters has headed back to school to support year 6 with their SATs but is coming back after school.

 

Well that's all for now - hope our friends in year 6 smash their last test - Good Luck! 

 

See you all soon!"

Hedgehog's have won the Safari Park Easter competition to decorate an egg. We have won a visit to the Safari Park including wrist bands and a tour guide on the coach as we go round the animals. I will be sending a letter out to Hedgehogs parents when we have booked the date for the visit. Thank you to Mrs Mac for the design of the egg and to the children for all their enthusiasm in creating Max the Lion!

Today Wolverley Tag Rugby team competed against 23 other schools finishing 3rd in the morning session and 2nd in the afternoon. Extremely proud of the performance and team effort. Go Wolverley!

On Monday 3rd April six lucky KS2 pupils participated in the Sainsbury's School Games Archery Arrows at Wyre Forest School. For most of our children it was a first experience and can say that they all enjoyed the afternoon working together and learning new skills. 

Dear Parents

Thank you for arranging an appointment time for next week’s parents evening. When you arrive, please collect your child’s tray (located outside your child’s classroom) this will contain their writing journey and maths books. Please then head to the hall until your child’s teacher is available; refreshments will be available while you wait.

The main focus of the spring term parents evening is to share an interim report of where your child is at now and targets for the summer term. The interim report will include pupil attendance percentages for the school year so far, whether they are at, below or above age related expectations for this point of the school year, a summary of achievements in reading, writing and maths and targets for the summer term.

However, we are aware that this evening will not allow us the time or opportunity for you to sample all your child’s many achievements. Therefore we will be holding open mornings/afternoons during the summer term for each year group. This will enable your child to share with you their successes from the wider curriculum subjects such as science, the arts, humanities, sports, RE, Spanish in Key stage 2 and the variety of topic studies that take place throughout our school.

The children are keen to share and celebrate how they learn in our school and will invite you to join them in class for a ‘fly on the wall’ which will highlight their hard work and talents. A list of dates will be issued after the Easter holiday along with the summer term curriculum overview for each class.

If your child is in a year group listed below, additional information will be given out due to statutory tests that take place in those year groups:

Year 1 – Phonic Screening Check guidance

Year 2 – SATs information, guidance and booklets

Year 6 – SATs information, guidance and booklets

In addition to your child’s interim report, if your child receives additional support in school, an update of their progress will be shared during your appointment.

During both evenings, I and support staff will be available if any parent/carer would like to discuss further any aspect of their child’s progress or how we can support them to ensure they reach their full potential.

Yours sincerely

 

Mrs S Reeves-Walters
