• Fun with physics

  Mon 27 Sep 2021 Mrs Sellers

  This week at science tots the children were having fun with Physics. The children started the session with investigating magnets and air pressure. Later in the session the children used their knowledge to raise water to the top of a container with just using stones (water displacement). They learnt that there was more movement from the water when the stone was larger. Finally, the children had a competition to build an unsupported tower - lots of reciprocity was used!

  

• A busy week at WIS!

  Fri 24 Sep 2021 Mr Hopkinson

  It has been a busy week at WIS, made all the better by the lovely weather we have had. On Wednesday, all of key stage 1 took part in a very active assembly led by Miss Bartlam to mark World Fitness Day – there were lots of red faces and sweaty foreheads (even some of the chidren were tired out – sorry, Miss Bartlam)!

   

  This week we also celebrated World Peace Day by coming together and talking about the importance of talking, listening and caring for each other. I set the children a challenge of showing kindness to one of their friends during the day, which they did a great job of and certainly lived up to the ‘be kind’ aspect of our school vision.

   

  Today is our first FoW-organised event and our first face-to-face event for over 18 months. I am very excited to see lots of you after school on Arno Vale Junior School’s field for our summer fair. I will be about with a game for the grown ups – ‘50/50’, which is £1 for a number from 1 – 100 and once all numbers are taken, if your number is the one drawn out then you win half of the takings, with the remainder going to the school.

• Science Tots

  Mon 20 Sep 2021 Mrs Sellers

  Key stage 1 Science club started again today. The children really enjoyed using their five senses to do a variety of activities. The made some rattles out of different materials and experimented to see which material would make the most noise. The highlight was making their own sherbet and then tasting it. We had lots of funny faces!

  

• First full week at 'big school'

  Fri 10 Sep 2021 Mr Hopkinson

  I really cannot praise our new starters enough! They have made an excellent start to their school lives and it has been lovely to see them arriving to school with big smiles on their faces. Don’t get me wrong, there has been a few tears along the way (not just from the parents), but they have shown lots of resilience and bravery – well done to you all!

• Welcome Back!

  Thu 02 Sep 2021 Mr Hopkinson

  What a super start to the 2021-22 academic year we have had! It has been lovely seeing our new starters again; they showed incredible bravery when leaving their grown ups and coming into school - we are very proud of all of them!

   

  There is a samba vibe in school today as Key Stage 1 are having the first of two curriculum knowledge days. The children have been learning lots of information about Brazil and have held their very own carnival in the hall.
